I sneezed into all of em. My cultures look pretty okay. I can do agar transfers without any nasties appearing on the edges of my plate. I never see any metabolites on my overgrown plates which all eventually push out pins. So I'm assuming I either fuck up inoculating my grain, my grain sucks, my grain prep sucks, or my filters aren't working.

New record for me!

I may just be knockin myself but I still say they're bacterial and ugly because of it; all grey and mushy in the center of the cap and all mutated twisted and a lot of the little ones just never opened caps and I threw a few in the garbage cuz of it and I'm tempted to just pitch these subs after this flush and use the bottles for a hopefully better, less wet, run

Do any of you pour your liquid cultures onto your grains instead of using a syringe? If so how has that worked out instead of using a syringe.

For sure. I don't know that anyone around here likes to use syringes. It's best to limit physical contact to scalpels and agar. I've heard syringes can jam nasties from the surface of the SHIP into the jar. If you're confident in your technique you'll find pouring easier and less likely to contam.

You could cut off the part thats not good and still eat the rest...Should be tasty! I found out the hard way about proper water content on a few trays...Its a good lesson. Once you dial in the next round you will be stoked again. Still looks awesome though!

If you guys had to guess how many ML your pouring in, how much would you say you are using? My concern with pouring is pouring to much.

Yeah I cut em up and stuck em in the dehydrator immediately, they'll be fine and edible once dried methinks. I definitely over-poured and thus everything was too wet from the get-go:
 ( ^on the subject of pouring, lol)
My only experience so far is with pouring too much so I have no idea what too little might be. I reckon it's a trade-off when it comes to colonization times. There's obviously a limit where more spawn ain't gonna make it go faster, rite [edit to add] perhaps also if I had lowered the water content when mixing the substrate that could compensate for using so much spawn, so yeah it's all a matter of dialing it in

There's no pouring too much. If, by accident, you pour way too much you just have to give the jars 2 or 3 shakes a week to redistribute moisture. Oats are your best friend if you're gonna go the liquid route, they will absorb the extra moisture like nothing.
With a 400ml LC I usually noc from 12 to 15 jars, sometimes there's lc left over.

Sweet, I just started using oats. The 9 QTs I did all ready got like 12ml Each.
So I found this little PP5 container at Wal-Mart for well under $2. I had the idea of a possible media bottle. I test PC'd it with some agar plates. I tried loosening the lid, like jar lids. Well it was still to tight and popped the little pop-tab. So I had these filters around and put one into it to release pressure. Well then I snagged me a 500ML media bottle of eBay for a good price. So it's been sitting there and I have been looking at it. I had the idea of using it for grain master as it could be easier, and possibly cleaner to pour grain from that. Now that I find out many people pour their LC, I am looking at it again. This could be a good tool for LC. Would be easy to quickly pop the tab, drop agar wedge, and close in a split second. Small opening mean lees chance for something to fall in. Should be easy to pour LC into grain jar as well. Check it out.

Granted, but in this particular grow I was using coir verm and BRF, and probably started out too-wet for how much spawn was poured. Everything's YMMV in this hobby rite
