Haha your probably right. The simplicity of MS appeals to me, but I really should work on getting and using a killer isolate.


Thanks for the kind words.  Lol they can be surprisingly difficult to find here.

I guess it hurts a lot of peoples egos and brains to hear that older techniques still work.

I find it completely comical.  Anyone who is truly about the science will explore multiple avenues and adapt it to their own custom needs.

Constructive criticism can be hard to find when you are surrounded by a bunch of keyboard warriors who think they know the best way to do things.

I aim for logic and facts.  Even that pisses people off, of course - but at least -I personally- learn accurately, even if you find TEKs from people you dislike personally, take what you can from the information and ditch the rest.

Shroomery has a lot of cool people on it, recently seems to have gone into some strange transition but that's speculation/opinion, though not just my own.  Don't give up on the community over a handful of pricks; remember, if they are being rude to you it's only because they hate their own lives.

And you know you've had success, as I have.  Then you look at their not-so-impressive grows they are super proud of and think "damn, not sure why they are that happy with themselves, but I can't wait to see what I can do using their techniques."

i am tired of assholes ass well but have been encouraged to encounter lots of wonderful folks on this site.

I'm not only a fan of agar for the purposes of cloning and isolating. i also very much appreciate the speed of using living culures. i LOVE not having to wait on and mess with germination but once if five years or so.

verum you seem totally cool and laid back and humble.

being part of the tribe, I'm sure you know at least a handful of cool folks already.

Based on what I've seen, and I lurk a lot for someone who posts as opinionated as I do; you have a real future in both cultivation and your personality.

I, on the other hand, most likely just have a future in cultivation.  I gave up on trying to make assholes like me a long time ago.



Oh, and you're totally right about the speed w/ agar as well.

Dude, I can't wait.  I just took on a new full time job and I'm tired as fuck and about to go make up 8 more pastyplates.

Can get grain jars to colonize in 5-8 days.  That's stupid awesome.  With MS>LC, you can get some pretty raw colonization times, as I have, but you can cut the entire process down without guess work, with barely any work on agar, and then the actual process of the science is more enjoyable as well.

As RR put it "I love agar because it's the area of mycology that allows us to become mad scientists."

FYI his video on agar is easier to retain in memory and repeat yourself than grain prep x100

This is so quote worthy, I had to quote it first.

You're doing great verum, and the tribe is a great place for you.

sterile tek is the only "hard" part of mushroom cultivation. and it's really not that hard. you got this.

In the summer I just wash them outside. People probably think i'm growing weed lol.

Oh you are so busted! jk

I've made spore syringes, inoculated countless things, done G2G's, etc all while tripping balls before, I used to trip way too much and now I almost never do.

You've got this.


I once stuck myself with an 18g needle, directly through my left hand (damn cap stuck and it slipped) and managed to swap it out for a fresh needle, cover the bleeding, and finish the work without a hiccup.

You've got this.


I tried pretty hard to fuck my first pastyplates up.  They are doing fine.

You've got this.



Anyone that can pass 4th grade can do shit with agar.  It is really sad it has taken me this long to get into.

I clean my tubs out with my shower sprayer.  Makes it 1,000 times easier than fuckin' with a sink or w.e as you just spray the fuck out of the whole thing.  Still not my favorite activity, either.  Grain prep is the worst part of the process if you ask me, though.

The only thing I need a SAB for is agar, or agar related procedures like the tiger drop, inoc loops, etc.  Yea, it's better to do inoculations in there too, and I'm starting to for LC's again even though my last open air one is coming back clean on agar, but I feel no need to worry about it with quart jars or spawn bags so long as that bitch is red hot.  I would care if the spore load in my air was as bad as previous places I've lived/grown; that is a factor.
