Sup homies/homegirls,
Just wanted to share the pics of my first grows using brf cakes. I'm currently working on my 4th grow. I have some more brf jars and also some wbs colonizing. I just recently started working with wbs so hopefully I can come up with a better yield than these brf cakes lol. Thanks to everyone at the shroomery. I don't post much because I always find the answer to my questions just by researching the page but I'm looking forward to getting more involved and sharing the little knowledge I have when and where I can.
1st grow:

(Dam that wasn't shit I got like 1 gram dry lol)
2nd Grow:

(A little better haha)
 
(Spent cakes from 2nd grow buried in outdoor plant)
3rd Grow:

(Much thicker fruits )
I'll let you know how the 4th one goes. Peace fellow shroomers, stay up.

Thanks man good looking out! I appreciate everyone's input.
Oh ok cool, I was wondering why those caps dried out like that. I'll keep a closer eye on them.

I used a liquid syringe for the WBS jar. I keep having trouble with agar. Last time I tried, all my agar got contaminated and turned into some nasty milky liquid. Time before that, a bunch of little white dots appeared all over the agar.
I'm not giving up though I really want to get the hang of this agar method but for some reason it's just a bitch for me I keep having bad luck with it.

Yes kind of like that but in small dots.
I use an SAB and I haven't had any issues with contams on my cakes. Is agar a bit more sensitive to contams?
I was using the small plastic tuppers from Pasty's Agar Tek. I think I'm going to try it on 1/4pint glass jars instead and hopefully that works out better.
Also, when I take them off the pressure cooker I notice the agar plates are a bit watery still. So maybe I should pressure cook the plates at a lower temp?
Can't wait to get the hang of it and have the option of picking out some nice ropey mycelium.

agar is what fancy science people use to grow bacterias and junk. its just as much food for bad stuff as it is good stuff.
i use the mini rounds and the square ones. anything rated pp5 will work.
my plates always have a bit of water.. usually from condensation on the minirounds. never had an issue. that bacterial plate was the 1st plate from a syringe. dirty spores
when first doing agar dont even worry about trying to ID and pick out good traits. just go for whats clean. i get my best looking cultures from clones grown from MS shoeboxes.

Thanks for your advice man I'm going to keep at it. I want to get away from brf cakes and make a complete switch to bulk.

people all have their fav grains and stuff but in terms of easy and hassle free doing wbs soaked 24hrs and spawned to cvg cant be beat ime/o.
you just rinse it clean soak with hot water 24hr add gypsum if you got it. drain 20min, load slightly damp. pc 2hrs.
perfect grains. getting the water content correct can be a bitch. the 24hr soak is kinda fool proof.

Agreed I've read a lot of cool shit on WBS plus it's cheap as fuck so really hoping to get it down.
