Cabin sequestering is supposed to fix scalloping 👍

Check out the writeup on that. I think the official tek calls for glass slip, but people have been doing it with just agar and it’s been working.

Im on it. Thanks, brotha!

Yeah no problem. As the forum’s number one fan and top advocate of CS I feel like it’s my duty to recommend it. I doubt anyone has been as vocally supportive of this as me, nor has anyone adopted it as useful quite as fast. But hold your applause. I’m just doing what any of you would do, provided any of you were as virtuous and intelligent as myself.

I especially love the name and sheer novelty of the technique

Does anyone else's transfers go like this:

Step 1. Look at all your plates and select the one with the best growth
Step 2. Select the sector with the most beautiful rhizomorphic growth
Step 3. Carefully cut out a tiny piece to transfer
Step 4. Accidentally drop that piece onto the floor of your SAB
Step 5. Convince yourself that the piece you selected probably had shitty genetics and your new piece will be amazing

Or is it just me?

This is also how I cope when I get rejected by a woman.

"That definitely happened bc the universe is steering me toward the right one." 🤣

There is no need to re-melt before sterilization.

My plates have been acting very strange lately. I thought it was from bad water at first, but I made these with bottled water and brown rice syrup. Still getting weird growth. Any ideas?



Thin, slow, and erratic growth. Some cultures won’t grow at all, they just sit on the plate and do nothing.

I just experienced something similar. At first I thought it was the blue food colouring, but I’m not sure anymore. It's better on the plates without the colouring, but still bad.




Got them over on BRF(1,5%)/ELME(0,5%) plates, with the following results thus far:




My theory is that either higher temps have influenced the way they grow on the ELME or it's gone bad.

Unfortunately I don't possess constant and wide enough data for any comparison, so it's nothing but speculation from my side. Higher nute content, different agar stiffness. The only thing the bad ones have in common is 1-1,6% ELME.

The only thing I know to be true, is that all my cultures do better on BRF/ELME instead of just ELME.

I have the same water source, using the same filter all across the board.
The water is pretty decent drinking water, except for it being quite hard.
Never had issues without filtering it first either.
