I confess to having some 'harvest withdrawal', now that many of my projects have been closed out, after bitching about running the dehydrator daily. There is no pleasing me.

Trying it out for fun. I know they will go bad 
Yeah I no it is. My mind gets me down a shit ton. I just need to go work in my garden to bring my spirits up or something.
It's not even about the LCS either just myco work in general. First time both my room's have been empty in a few months.

Failure is just another word for learning experience but a combination of failures just sucks.
Here's my needing to be weeded garden. It's bigger then my old apartment 

If I can't be proud of my myco work at least my gardens pretty sweet lol.

Yea I feel you van. Seeing tubs of shitty small fruits fucking sucks. I can not wait to get away from this shitty culture that I could never get 100% clean. It was all I had to work with to get me some fruits and it is just a painful struggle. BUT it has been one hell of a learning experience and I will know contamination when I see it in the future. I feel you can know a clean culture once you have stared at dirty cultures for 4-6 months. It is sad when I can get a better grow out of spores straight to grains.
My purple mystic tub gave me 2 flushes. It looks nasty as fuck so I am tossing it. Gave slightly over 40g 1st flush and right at 20 gram 2nd flush (dry weights). I will happily take the 60g off 2 flushes from 2qt spawn. Not great but considering no agar was used, that's rather good. I may try this out for future varieties, as a way to look for clones. I got a couple good ones off this tubs. I intend to repeat this PM the same way in a couple days. I only use a couple drops of solution per jar and do a couple jars.
Last time I did 3 and got 2 that germinated. I shook at 30-40% and they recovered nicely, but this spread the bacteria and slowed things down in the long run I think. This time the only shake will be right before spawning I think. That way I don't spread the bacteria and the mycelium will defiantly outgrow it, and it should be limited. I got no mold last time and hope not to again.

Liquid Culture is dope if you have everything set up for it. You can do it with just a mycojar but.. I'd recommend having it set up like this and having either a tall SAB or flowhood to work with. Otherwise it's a bitch and honestly not worth it.
 I mainly use LC for reishi and sending cultures out.

Is that a what man filter or w.e it's called? Mines just sfds and a hook to make it easier to take the lid off single handed while not getting close to the mouth of the jar.
Mad hat
Dude I feel it when I first started agar I took some really really shitty cultures and just in the past month have gotten some "OMG white girl" beautiful cultures. The wave of contamination does help to spot it in the future.
Funny my first grow ever was syringe to grain. G2G to 10 jars. 7 jars to bucket Tek brick of coir and 8 quarts verm. Pull 10 oz dry I actually posted about it here and got laughed at.
MB
Yeah dude I spend alot of time outside. I have. Uh carrots papava somniferum onions tomatoes potatoes (not pictured) lettace cabbage beets turnips radishes peas beans peppers
I hated living like that I mean shit I was homeless last year till I got a POS apt that leaked from the ceiling. I found this place on Craigslist 2 bed 9 acres 700 a month 10 dollar security deposit. Dude didn't even ask what he do for a living. And once he came over and I had like 40 petris just chilling out. Didn't say shit even if he did I have king oysters in the basement.

It's a whatman attached to a syringe inside rtv port. Going to have a bad time with anything else than a whatman imo. The sfd is going to get wet and contam and does a shit job and letting you draw the liquid.
Whatmans are best and making the pull on the syringe to draw the liquid a lot easier. Plus when it's in a syringe tip like that, you can choose to take it out and shake the shit out of it, then flame and reinsert as needed.

It's just hard to keep the myc broken up and not a single blob when you can't stir it roughly cause you'll wet the filter. I also shattered a small mason jar and use glass shards in my LC to help cut shit up.

I set my jars on a flat surface and am able to get a strong swirl in there. It breaks off little chunks, so starting early I get a nice spread. Doing it on a flat surface keeps the solution from going to high up the sides and stays away from my filter. I use QT jars and 500ml. I currently have 200ml in a pint, but have neglected the swirling of it.

Wow van tripping in this garden would be awsome.
Actually i have grown like 8 tubs and all of them were from MS to grain and still do and i haven't faced any contam problems, only once and it could have been avoided as one jar had a different smell and i spawned it with the rest so i ended up with mycogine but it was so small and i pulled 4 good flushes from it.
Agar is so hard to find in my country and the only place i have founded it was so fucking expensive.
I am satisfied with the results as i just want enough shrooms for me and my friends that would last a year or something so i don't see a reason to go into agar, but i might trade some spore prints with agar in the market place just to try and learn something new.
