KSSS, GT, Z Strain/Agar/WBS log, MOAB

Been a long couple days without my friends on here first off, I apologize if I offended anyone by telling that fellow to suck my penis. It was a vulgar joke that I said to get a rise, not intentionally temp banned. Sorry about all that.
I shook my jars the other day. They're recovering well it seems. Figured I'd start a log. I found a receipt in my wallet for my pressure cooker. Bought it in early August. So 4 months ago, I didn't even have a pressure cooker. 2 months ago, I'd never seen agar in my life.
Thanks everyone for all the help getting me this far. Excited to keep learning and growing.
GT first, then the KSSS, then some nice WBS multispore Hawaiian trich shrooms. So glad no more multispore BS. Can't fucking wait to see how my agar WBS turns out. I have really high hopes.

My GT have micropore lids, which I later found out wasn't recommended. I figured since it worked for pasty plates it'd be ok for jars. Guess not. Anyway, they're colonizing in a SAB.
The KSSS and z strain have poly filters. I have tyvek, but didn't get it out for this. Maybe next time.

Why doesn't micro tape work for jars?

I don't know someone said too much moisture in the jars. Which makes the tape soggy or something. It just isn't recommended.
Do my jars look clean?

grain jars have a considerable amount of GE and will work any filter on the jar. its a bit more than tape can handle, so we use more resilient filter materials.

I just did a round of grain jars in the PC goin on about two weeks ago, I used the micropore tape lid method. I used one tape on the inside of the lid with the non sticky past facing the grains, then with two pieces of tape I made an + on the lid with the hole in the center, so the hole has three layers of micropore protection.
I literally just checked on them after reading this thread and not a single one has any contams in it...I'm thinking thats a good sign, right?

Mine IMO look fine. No one will answer me if my jars look good.
But I have the micropore ones colonizing in a SAB. Seems to be so far so good

Thanks man. Sorry for that shit the other day.
I have a question. I'm a little (a lot) short on funds. I have 4 27qt empty monotubs. Can I use 5 or 6 quart jars ina tub that small, just lower the substraate amount? Or can I make the sub 6-8 inches deep? 3 of my 4 tubs don't even have holes yet. I'd like to make do with what I have. I just had to go pay 500 bucks for a new fridge. That hurt real real bad. Santa's gonna be skimpy this year :/
Also Pete you're the whole and only reason I have this thread going. That's your agar and KSSS print I'm using. My letter to you got returned fucking twice and sketched me out. I need to get it back out soon real real sorry man
Also note to anyone wondering why my jars are so far apart in colonization amounts. Half used quarter agar plates, the other half I used a lot of small wedges. The larger single wedges per jar arecolonkzing much faster than a bunch of small ones.

Just done some measuing with water with my 27quarts. It got a max of 8 full water quarts for 4" of depth. So it's looking lovely kenill be able to get 1:1 at best with the amount of spawn I have.
In the last, I'd have thought damn that's great. It'll get me a good canopy. But the low quantity of water concerns me. In past experience, lower ratios have provided me with quite small mushrooms. I could bottom water I guess. But I'd like to set and forget.
You guys have any tips/stories of using 1 spawn to 1 sub?
Yeah comeback and Pete, this KSSS I'm extremely excited for. I wanted a tub full of spaceships, that's the whole reason I said damnit I'm gonna learn agar. I want a full tub of Koh Samuis real bad.

First ever time with agar clean spawn. This is Z strain. I picked the 4 best jars. The other two seem.a little chunky growth idk. No big deal. Will spawn those to trays in another tub.
So 4 quarts of spawn to Damian's 50/50 tek, using 3/4ths a brick of coir, and 2 liters of water (approximately slightly over 4 quarts of water)
Let's do it.

Careful man Are you putting 2 litres of water or 4 quarts? Litres and quarts are almost the exact same volume. You can almost use them interchangeably!
2 litres will be nowhere close enough. You want more like 4 litres/quarts to a brick

Well fuck. I only put in 2.5 liters of water.
Damnit. What's wrong with me. Ugh. Now what?
I'm thinking the brick was more like between half and 3/4ths full. Definitely had a quarter missing, I think slightly more than a quarter of it missing. I also gave my grains a quick spritz of water before kneeding them in. Maybe I'll be okay. Should I add a little more water over the top?

You may be fine cause you only used .75 of a brick If you were going to use 4 quarts of water for a full brick then you would use 3 for .75 of a brick You put in 2.5 which is like 2 cups of water less than reccomended. If you really want to you can add 2 cups of water?
Edit, jist realized you didn't mention verm either. You're golden man

Trimmed the liner better, and made the surface level. Looks good IMO and gave about half a cups worth of water via the sprayer on the sink

Oh and I have to make holes. Lol

Made holes last night with a propane torch and a red hot kobalt tools spike pick thing. Was a real pain in the ass. Drew the holes first but hell. That having to melt it shit sucks. I need a drill.
Anyway. Got the holes taped over now. Let it sit for a week or so, then fruit it?

How long till I should fruit this bad boy? It isn't "cased" just a very fine bit of coir/verm to cover the exposed grains.

I don't plan to case. Unless I really should? I haven't done a lot of WBS monos. Just PF to bulk and some MS WBS a few small times. Now agar clean spawn so I want to do this as well as possible. Looking for a large first flush. Just wanna get that canopy.

Well If what you have pictured there is still your sub, I would wait until the entire sub is colonized before introducing to fruiting conditions....Although some people are fruiting at spawn, Most people colonize, then once colonized allow the sub to consolidate for a week, during this time you should begin to see primordia, once the pins begin, you can let the FAE flow!

So just keep it sealed shut for about 10 more days then fruit yeah? I've fruited immediately before and get very uneven flushes. I'd rather have one big wam bam

Yeah, Although fruiting at spawn works for alot of reputable people on here...both times ive tried it I got real uneven flushes...I'm prolly not doing something right, but IME thats the drawback to fruiting at spawn.
I wouldnt even put a specific amount of days on it. You have to use your peepers to tell once its colonized fully, from the point you determine it is fully colonized then you can put a 7 day timer on it for the consoloidation period. For full even canopies, it is suggested to use a casing. But ComeBackKid just did an uncased tub of AA+, and i gotta say it is a freakin AMAZING looking tub.

Alright I'll case it a week after it has reached full surface colonization. Report back then. Should be ready to make my GT and KSSS tubs by then. This z stain colonized extremely fast in the jars. Don't know if it's a specific trait of that strain or I had a great culture maybe.

I dont use casings yet...so I'm not the most knowledgeable source on them. I know you have to pastuerize and possibly add lime to ward off contams...As for the timing, You may want to look into that, i feel like they apply them immediately after 100% colonization, and skip the consolidation period. But you may want to read up on that...

there is no need to pasteurize but it doesn't hurt. might be worth cutting that chunk out and hoping you dont see any more. i have had luck with it before but more often than not when it pops up it will somewhere else soon.

The jars look okay from the pic but they also seem very inconsistent shades of white. Jar 3 seems like it could be milky in comparison to 2 and 4. My spawn is never that white. But more like jar 2. I don't work with wbs so I'm not sure if that's normal or not. But I do believe that the spawn/sterilized technique was the problem. He also mentioned that he threw away 2 jars that he suspected contams which leads me to believe that either the agar culture wasn't completely clean or there was a problem at inoculation.
Also rember moab that the amount of trich spores in your grow area from previous grows could be fairly high

Here's a pic of one of my jars that will be ready in the next couple days.
 The myc is hardly white at all you can still see the colour of grain pretty well through it. That gives me piece of mind. Whenever I see white in my spawn it's usually harder to break up than the rest which is a bad indication

It's common for mold to show up before the first flush but not in the jar. All it takes is the introduction of a little bacteria when you're making your spawn. Once you birth it the mycelium won't be able to fend off mold spores in the open air like it normally would.

I'm just pretty down about this. The z strain looks far better than my GT or KSSS. Don't know if I should even try to spawn them. They're about finished now, but hell I dunno. This sucks. I have 7 or 8 SFD lids, didn't have them for this run. So maybe the poly filters were no good. I'll try PC for 2 hours next time. these were 90 min cycles.
Also the inconsistency in jar colors was from them not being all lined up symmetrically, and the flags from the camera. The 4 jars looked exactly identical, where as the other two do not.

Moab- Im tellin ya brother its your PC time. I was having all sorts of issues at 90 mins. As soon as i bumped it up to 120 min I have had close to zero problems. I even left a whole round of jars out for 2 weeks to see what would happen, and they stayed clean!! So i knocd them up hahaha..thats what i used for these tubs I have going now...And all looks good!

Give em spawn jars a shot man. Nothing to lose but a Lil cvg. Don't get down on yourself yet. You got the right tools for the job now. You got the know-how. You are capable of doing it better this time around. Now make it happen!
You still have cultures on agar right?

Yeah man you dont get discouraged...Ive lost alot of jars and a couple tubs so far...it sucks man but its part of the process, this hobby isnt easy that's for sure. Might seem that way once you get all the wrinkles ironed out, but I damn sure as hell aint there yet!
