Sorry I don't have a pic to show it, BUT I have had cultures with a really nice leading edge. I take a couple transfers to new plates only to have them look well translucent and almost non existent. I have always tossed them and snagged another transfer from the previous plate. It just looks well weak and sick as it doesn't grow nice white mycelium like one would expect. Any ideas what is happening??

I found the plate and took a pic. It is the same media. I have seen this once before and it seem like when I go back and take another transfer problem solved. So I didn't know if it was a poor isolate. It is a clone in this pic. Did the best I could to get light to shine through. EDIT a transfer from a clone line.

I have to disagree with the plain verm part Bod. That is all I use and I don't get that.

I have a theory that it can be triggered by bacteria in the substrate.

Have any of you encountered a mold that is still white after over 3 weeks? So I germinated some ovoid spores and today I cleaned out the 1st transfer plate form Halloween. It had white satellites in it. My first assumption would be mold as the transfers have it as well. Thing is NONE of it ever changes from white, and it grows way slower than any mold I have encountered. It grows slower than cubes and pans, about the speed my serbica is on agar, which doesn't have these satellites.
Here is a pic from the current plates, and I know 1st response will want to be mold, but the lack of color on the 25 day old plate baffles me. I didn't know if it was possible the mycelium could fragment or not. If you guys want better/closer pics I will sacrifice one of the plates for some good pics.

I guess all I can do is keep transferring it and eventually knock up some oats. The one from Halloween had a solid 2x as many satellites. I wonder if it could be some sort of survival response to conditions of the agar plate.

Ok boys it has been some time now since I have attempted any grow without a casing, just didn't workout so well for me before. I had to make these shoeboxes with no casing as I only had coir, so they only have a top layer, not a true casing. So I am used to just seeing pins poke up through the vermiculite and I never really see the mycelium knotting up or any thing.
What I see here leaves me nervous and I wanted to ask you guys. Does this just look like normal knotting up or does it look like the mean green could be popping up through. Pics are all of the same shoebox. I want to say knotting, but well some reassurance would make me feel better. Along the top edge seems to have more of it, but it is all over.
If pics are not good enough let me know and I will try for better ones.

Thanks bro. Been like 6 months since I spawned a tub. Let alone one without a casing, which tends to hide them.

So my old ass PC is rated at 15PSI. The jiggle weight weighs in at 124g. I have a small piece of conduit that sits on it nicely. It weighs in at 84 grams, 2/3 the weight of jiggle weight. Should this really be running at 25PSI then? I am assuming it should work this way with PSI. I tested it out the other day on some agar and it never blew the emergency plug on its own, only when I would give it a slight pull. I did actually blow it once years ago on a beast of a propane stove. That was the only time I have set of the emergency plug, so if I really am at 25PSI now, then it must be set to go off at 30+, so I should be safe. By the way my emergency vent is spring loaded so should I blow it I am fine, It just goes right back down when pressure decreases.

Right now amazon has a better deal on a case of 500 100x15mm than eBay. I don't use the 60mm, but ALL of the cases of petri on eBay have shot up. Should be able to snag a case on eBay for about $63.
