Also another question for anyone with a i.r. temp gun. What distance is most accurate when reading the temp of a media bottle. I.e. 6 inches away reads much hotter than two feet.
I'm pouring my bottles at about 118 and there still getting a descent amount of condensation.

sir_spins_alot said: So I have about 20 jars now colonizing with ms. All bird seed. The first jars were made with some real cheap seed,cracked corn first ingredient. Then I bought penntingtons classic no cracked corn. Most of the cheap shit colonized fully in 14 days, then I knocked up the better seed with the same syringe and at one week their not even ten percent and very weak looking. Is it the corn that's accelerating the first jars? And if so why does everyone talk like it sucks?
Better prep/moisture content on that batch or Luck of the draw with the culture. Or both. Post pics

I only shower when inoculating LCs. I'm super paranoid with those, and its a long time frame until you can test them.

How do you water Panaeolus (Copelandia) tropicals, Hawaiian and Jamaicans without aborting the pins or destroying the mycelium every time I've tried to mist mine the pins turn black and the mycelium almost melts

I work in a bakery, and I thought yeast and sourdough starter microbes would cock my agar. I don't know if a shower is overkill.

How serious is yeast contamination? I tend to get it a bit... but after reading around it doesn’t seem like a huge deal. It seems mycelium easily colonizes over it? I’m experiencing that currently with my pan cams. How will it effect things down the road?

Munch & Bod,
Here's the same Ghostie plate after growing out a bit. After getting passed the divot made by my loop, it looks more clearly like cube myc to me now.

I also think how shitty my agar is within the plate is effecting growth a bit. I made these in my old SAB setup which wasn't level and I think I ran out of agar for this plate anyway.
MUNCH WHADDYA THINK??

Hey stare, this is a thread for questions. You know what myc looks like. Thanks.
Its looks healthy. Probably another 2 transfers or so before I would put it on grain.

sure ya im just giving him a hard time because he's literally been here just as long as i have. my apologies, you caught me at a bad time. i would have normally tried to be funnier about it.
to all: in the future, please try to be a little more detailed with the questions. status updates or posts looking for approval dont really cut the mustard.
edit: im an ass

Just bought a light and fucked up I was looking at lumens not k so my light is a 4000 k / 3200 lumens led. Will that be sufficient for pinning / fruiting.

How much does light really do? I know some is needed... but what would be the specs for optimal? Has anyone ever done an experiment, side by side comparison of lighting?

My apologies to stareatclouds. My reply earlier was not an appropriate response. I hope you can forgive me for being so crass.

a lot as they use it as an energy source. fruits under light will be more developed/healthier than those without lights. 6500k spectrum is all you really need to know. mycologists have studied light and its effects extensively. Check out some publications like The Mushroom Cultivator and Growing Medicinal and Gourmet Mushrooms for my info. there are free pdfs available online of both.
