I must confess, this bag of oats is so full of corn it took me 2 hours to pick my 5gal soak clean of them.

I must also confess I've been doing mycowork since 3pm yesterday

I confess I did 16 hours of myco work yesterday and went to bed at 3 am. I was up and back at it at 7 am this morning and I have a long way to go today.

Spawned a 90 qt tub with 5 quarts of Costa Rica PC
Spawned a 90 qt tub with 4 quarts of Cambodian PC
Found, disposed of, and cleaned 9 quart jars of misc varieties that were contaminated
Inspected and sorted the rest of my jars - about 50
Cleaned, cooked, and dried a batch of Oats then PC'd 10 jars
Harvested, cleaned, dehydrated, and cleaned again a (10th) flush of B+ PC
Made my first batch of agar which turned out kinda shitty lol
- 10g agar, 10g potatoe flakes, 10 ml caro, and the grain water from cooking oats.. I still poured 16 pasty plates just to practice in the SAB. Did I mention that new slimline 500ml media bottle kickin' ass! Heh!

Plus just the daily checking/maintenance of my tubs. Misting and making sterile water to mist with..

Todays batch of agar is going to be 10g agar  grain soak water (Oats).. o shit I forgot to add the caro.. and it's in the PC now.. ugh!! I've got 4 petris with growth that need to be transferred to new plates today.

Another confession: I bought some premade dishes to get started with a few weeks ago. I've got my first sleeve of 20 new dishes to pour and use today.

And another confession: I have forgotten to buy the frkn food coloring at the store at least 4 or 5 times now!

I've already cooked another batch of oats this morning and they are drying. PC getting a workout again today!
Going to do some G2G action in the SAB this evening when things cool down.



I just heard the click of the pressure plug dropping down on the PC.. Got to go check my agar bottle!


--------------------
I overdo everything and nothing at the same time. Every time, All the time, and some times too.. :bigjoint:

I must confess..... I think LC has bit me once again.  Had to dispose of 7 spawn bags that showed no signs of life.  Like the LC was dead. 

Then I come home tonight and check on my tubs...... 3 out of 7 of my PE tubs developed green spots on the Sides or bottom. My pasturized jiffy mix is doing great tho.

I confess that I came home to a contam in a mini mono and in my 1000ml beaker. I think they were the same jar though. I've really gotta start labeling my tubs :lol:

Girlfriend asks "What are all these jars, how come you have so many shoeboxes?"
My answer "Nothing to see here just a small scale Shiitake grow :biggrin: "

Hehehehehe.

That reminds me,

I confess I tricked myself.

When I first started growing cubes I was paranoid. Of both losing my culture and growing cubes.

I labeled a master slant 'shiitake'. I found it a month ago and was like what!? Where did that shiitake come from!?

Yeah I think I'm done with LC too. When I started I made LC's of everything so I have a lot tying up jars. I may be over pouring but my success rate is pretty low. I need to get into slants for long term storage.

I confess that as I type this I'm an old school stoner that has a good job for 25 years and a corporate wife that loves me for who I am. 6 feet away from me are 20 or so plates, half a dozen shoeboxes, 20 jars and another outdoor building with regulated temperatures for whatever I want to do. My most recent project is a flowhood I'm going to spend as much time as I want to on. Life is really good. I wish the same for all of you mushbuds.

I admit it's very likely I won't have a scale by the time harvest comes,
I also admit I'm a little excited to jump into the unknown consuming un-weighed doses.

I confess that last week, a female friend of mine wanted some mushrooms so I gave her some out of a tub that came from an isolate I myself hadn't tried yet.

I inadvertently gave someone with very little experience with psychedelics 3.5gs of what are easily the most potent cubes I've ever produced. She wigged out a little bit and I feel kinda bad.
