Oh, and did you know that if you order from the US, you will get a nice import charge tax as well? It's pretty fucked. If you want to avoid that, you can buy on ebay from listings that have "customs services and international tracking provided" next to it. That way you pay a bit more shipping and a smaller import charge beforehand to avoid the import tax they slam you afterwards.
EDIT: yeah, there you go :/

Maybe try a casing layer? Or maybe stuff some holes in your tub to allow fae without so much humidity loss? That tub looks like it has fae problems more than it looks too dry. The walls are sopping wet. The cubes look like they are trying to escape.
i dont have any modded tubs and i dont really want to mod anything.
I say its conditions because thats the only variable i haven't had control over in the past.

My point is that maybe you should spend less time posting "advice" and more time growing. Then when you give advice, you will have real-world personal experience to back it up.
youre right. I shpuld spend less time on the boards. But i only help where others ignore.

I mean no offense, but I disagree with the idea that pooling water and condensation don't really matter, yet low RH does.
none taken. But im 100% aure humidity is important. You ever try to grow outside where you live? It cant be done here...

I honestly could not get unmodded tubs to work for me. Got nothin but side and bottom pins. Good genetics help too. Some of my cultures won't push a canopy no matter what, and some of them only know how to push full canopies.

Neglect is far easier to correct and recover from than overdoing it. In Wisconsin winter my home is static city, my RH is nosebleeds. And i tend to have my most impressive tubs then. If anything i think the dry room RH makes a concentration gradient pulling moisture from the substrate creating a nice humid and air exchanging tub. Its colder too i keep it 65-68 in the winter usually and though condensation doesn't = humidity my tubs have a nice frosting of dew/condensation usually

I should spawn full tubs instead of shoeboxes. I'm almost convinced to just mod these tubs.
Only time i ever tried a full tub it was shitty pinset. And im not sure if its because it dried too much or if it was just genetics. Based on it only pinning in the center i think it just dried out

Just curious, but what is the point of being super involved in a hobby and going through every step, just to apparently neglect or not care about the final leg of the process?

Trypts, what's killing your motovation to grow shrooms man? :/ I'm surprised to hear you fruited one tub when your account is almost 4 years old. Let's do a grow along? I understand how it can be sometimes ive felt 'stuck' too. Do you at least have some cultures running? I have 6-7 different cultures running now and I'll make a ton of BRF cakes and probably 20-30 grain jars. Grow along? Imma start one now for BRF cakes at least and we'll see if anyone joins me! <3

I poured new batch of 12 agar petris, 5 days ago, I did some really nasty moves pouring which should almost certainly guarantee some are infected so I left them and didn't put anything on them to see how many get contams.
How long does it take for particle contaminations to germinate and become visible?

It just so happens that the final leg of the process is easily ruined by too much involvement. Its easier to correct neglect than over misting/watering. And the signs of neglect are easy to spot and correct, just lightly mist if needed.
I still look at tubs daily but often they just don't need anything
Shrooms aint plants but you ever over water a plant. It sucks trying to fix it. Under water a plant. It shows you it needs water well before low water actually hurts it. Too much water can easily hurt a plant though.

Damn okay, so I guess most of my contaminants come from the previously received agar. Good to know. I guess I will have no trouble cleaning my cultures then.

I'm new to agar. Poured my first plates on the 23rd inoculated with spore print on 24th. How long should it take to see mycelial growth?

Ive been very unstable mentally the past year or so. fruiting happens to come along right during the times I need to just check out for awhile and go adventure in order to reset.

I spent a loong time making sure my cultures looked okay and figuring out grain prep. I could never get oats to colonize cleanly and millet always dried out. I could only get away with top fruiting for the first 2 and a half years at this. switching to wheat is what made me actually able to spawn anything.
ive been less motivated yet more motivated its really weird feeling and hard to explain... I really want to get as much grown as possible before I move, but I also want to spend as much time socializing as possible before then. and the two kind of take time from the other
