I was gunna post this in cult pic of the day but figured what the hell everyone else has been posting here and Im digging the vibes. What's up guys?
So my PFC tub may have been beautiful but yield wise it wasn't my best work. Wondering if it's possibly a strain thing?
First flush weighed in at 4.3 oz dry, where my AA+ would usually yield somewhere around 6 oz It looks like I'll be getting a decent second flush anyway.

If I didn't know any better I'd say I used scissors to harvest... Nope. Twist n pull. They just snapped at the base and left their stumps behind. I wonder if that could be where I lost some yield?
I only managed to rip up a tiny bit of sub while harvesting which I cut off with scissors and tossed in a bucket. I've been meaning to clean this out all week 
If you look closely there are a few mushrooms growing in there 

In other news my PE6 for LAGM is recovering nicely after a shake.

Feeling good to finally catch up with some of you guys 
Is there anyone who hasn't made it to inoculation yet? I know a few have made it to spawning already

I haven't ! But there are circumstances in which I cannot
Besides that. I took your advice. Do what you love.
Got some pan cyans germed some Mexicans and some PS cyans.
The cultures I pulled from outside look good. I just need a longer scalpel handle so half of the cultures I transferred have bacteria from my hand going ove the Petri couldn't help it.

I still haven't made it to inoculation. Tbh I might just wait for my AA+ plates to pin and clone the pin cuz I don't dig the look of these cultures one bit.

Ahaha yeah I guess so van hatton you had extenuating circumstances tho. Glad to hear your bacon on your feet tho! It's a shame you had to toss all that spawn for nothing but at least everything has settled down knock on wood!
You got pics Dact?

Still waiting on this jar to colonise so I can do g2g. A single small wedge and shaken twice now. It's been really cold here too (at night) and everything just slows down. Oh well. I'll be the slowpoke and close the gate.

A single small wedge is the worst ime. I did that for my first jars and found I had to shake twice as well. Why did you use such a small amount of inoculant?

Lack of experience, wanted to experiment/try something new I've actually never ran a mono. Few cased and top fruited jars, couple trays.
Up to this point I'd only done blenderless LI and got less than great results, but it's way better than 3-4 week full colonisation lol

Agar to grain takes a couple weeks anyway but yeah my first jars took a hella long time as well Definitely go with at least 6 wedges or one big piece of agar.
I didn't realize youve never run a mono! Are you planning on giving one a shot for LAGM?

Around Christmas time I did first agar to grain. I wasn't pleased with the results, I also only took a small wedge out of lack of knowing. Took weeks to fully colonize. I will try it again just to get a good g2g Tek down.

Blenderless LI has been consistently giving my bacterial spawn. I think the vacuum formed by my jars during sterilization is too great and bacteria gets sucked in from my fingers when I crack em open. I gotta do something different.
I'll upload some pics of my AA+ cultures when I get home from work.

I feel like I should do this with my AA+ just to be sure, maybe I should put to pint masters first? I have a couple quarts I inoculated a bit ago that I'm pretty sure are stalling from dry grain. do you guys think I could just pour some sterile water into them in a SAB and kick start them?

I've had the same problem, try flipping your lid, or using a plastic one

When I did li, I had the same concern. so I took a ISO soaked paper towel and covered the lid, then popped the seal. It was a pain in the ass to open. But one out of 4 went bacterial on me. And it only seemed to be the bottom Of the jar that had bacteria.

Ive never tried LI but I have poured water into LC before and 4 out of 6 went bacterial. The only thing I could think of was not wiping down the lip of the jar with iso.
I think you may be onto something Tookitooki Next time Im pouring water I'm going to go wiping everything down first. I think the culprut could possibly be the last few drops of water that hang over the lip of the jar after a pour and drip into the recieving jar?

Agree with all above posts
In Munch's vid he doesn't even have to try to get his lid off it seems.
