MS B+/AA+ Tub logs + Agar Started g2g Expansion

So I'm having fun with some new projects, got a few in the works.
I got tired of waiting to get my bottle of MEA for my projects, so I inoculated 3 whole oats qts of B+ with ms, and a few days later, did the same with 3 qts of aa+. When I finally got the MEA, I made a couple pasty plates and inoculated another qt with the B+. Haven't gotten around to doing one with the aa+ for expansion purposes, but I'll get there.
Bulk used: Pasteurized Poo, verm, peat moss (out of coir at the moment, getting there!) and gypsum. Spawn ratios will vary depending on the tubs I'm using, but I hope to do most of them with clean whole oats which I am working on prepping for g2g, started from MEA agar wedges.
I've already spawned two of the three jars into a mini mono with the above substrate, and it's about two days in and looking good. Pics to follow.
Here's the jars of the MS.

This was at about day 8 of colonization, as I said they finished and looked pretty healthy with no visible signs of contamination. I have one jar left and will be spawning that to another mini mini mono tonight, however it is significantly smaller as its only a single jar of spawn being used at about a 1:2 ratio.

Im trying a combination of poly and micropore. I am also giving it fruiting conditions at spawning, though with a slightly lower FAE at present. That will gradually increase as the days go by.
Here's the B+ expansion jar, it looks to be pretty much ready for a vigorous shaking once I have 10 other jars prepped.

One of the AA+ Ms qts, which will go in similar monos, and will also forgo a similar expansion as the B+, started from Agar.

Wont be long now.

Thanks. Now I get to wait as my shitty small ass PC sterilizes 3 jars at a time. Doing 12 in total this run so that's 4 cycles :/
I think I'm gonna buy one of those 23qt Prestos pretty damn soon.

It would certainly help immensely. It takes a day and a half to PC them all. It'll be worth all the work but yeah, kinda sucks.
I'm pretty excited about having aa+ though, so I mean to start a plate or two and transfer until I have an ultra clean isolate I like, and then I intend to do another grain master with that for expansion purposes. The MS will hold me over for a bit until I can get that done and give me the opportunity to possibly find some good clones to mess around with too. A few fresh prints to hold back wouldn't hurt either.

At the rate you're going you're gonna spend more money on electric or gas than you'd spend on a 23 q presto.
Been there, done that, and it sux. A bigger p.c. has really made a difference for me. I'm sure it will for you too!
btw I like to spread my grain out a bit more to help it dry faster. piled up like that takes forever.

15 huh? Very nice. With the amount I'm doing, I'll have enough for 7 B+ tubs and 6 aa+ tubs. I am thinking about doing all minis though, just with a higher spawn ratio. They are a lot easier to manage.
All those big tubs aren't gonna fit in my tiny fruiting space.

Yes, I spread it out before loading on a screen. It helped a lot with a drying process by doing about a jar worth at a time and fan drying with a little hand fan. Worked out nicely actually.

I might do one 66 qt, and a couple trays in my 66qt SGFC. Not sure. I didn't really have a lot of direction on how I was going to spawn to start, so I picked up the mini and several shoebox style monos. I could do some of those instead too, might be worthwhile.

Ya man i run three in a sgfc and always had mushies to eat while i worked on getting my technique down anywhere from a quarter to 3 quarters a flush but im sure you can pull off more plus they are good for getting clones

Just what I was thinking. A few SGFC fruities for a weekend excursion with the wifey while I wait for the monos to fruit the big flushes.
I think I'll do that actually, thx noob.

Three down, 9 to go. :/

Going to try and get as many done as possible today, but I have a pretty busy day today. Really could use that 23qt right about now, but on the bright side, I am getting a nifty dehydrator today for really cheap. Hooray beer.

just a tip, peat is a terrible substrate, that's why its such a great casing layer. myc doesnt wanna colonize it properly. just leave it out, manure+verm is a great sub!
