Noob Tube: What I’ve Learned So Far
    #25598207 - 11/07/18 10:04 AM (6 years, 2 months ago)

First post but have been lurking a while. After a series of minor disasters, I discovered how to use the search engine to filter by Trusted Cultivators. This has enabled me to learn much faster.

So, yesterday, US midterms day, I did my first spawn to bulk and now I’m just doing some reflecting and wanted to post a short list of guidelines that I think would have saved me a lot of time getting to this point.

Dear younger version of me:

1: As a noob, only try TEKs by Trusted Cultivators and don’t try and innovate.
2: Learn/practice agar first.
3: Get the larger pressure cooker.
4: Your still air box should be in a room with still air. Box within a box. Shut the windows, turn off the AC/furnace.
5: Use a propane torch instead of an alcohol lamp to sterilize your scalpel.
6: Cooked/hydrated grains for spawn should look way drier than you might expect. If there is visible water now in a jar or bag I’ll just throw it in the compost.
7: If you insist on trying to warm the spawn storage space, aim for just a few degrees F above room temp. Never heat anything directly with a heater or heating pad. Seriously, just aim for room temp and be patient.
8: When in doubt, throw it out.
9: Larger Petri dishes are nicer than small ones.
10: When pressure cooking, learn how to weigh down the rocker with coins or washers and dial in the added weight so that the PSI is above 15 but the rocker is just barely moving...and then lower the heat on the burner from high to something closer to medium. This way you don’t lose all your water and ruin shit.
11: The quilting polyfill has longer strands and is more flexible than the super short strands used for small pillows and stuffed animals.
12: Fuck looking in a store. Whatever it is, just get it from Amazon.

Thanks to the community for all the information!
