You guys are kewl af for giving stuff away. I figured a race would change the dynamics. I've yet to get past the agar stage so this is the perfect opportunity for me to learn the right way. The biggest win for me is the learning experience. So I win regardless.
CBK, gotta love the, every kid gets a trophy, approach. Thank you, and everyone else participating!!!

I'll add myself to the giveaway pool - will plan on making prints / swabs from whatever fruits I get from these grows (PE, Pan Cyan Hawaiian, and B+) and send out as many as I can to others who complete their grows.
So y'all better be rooting for me - the more mushrooms I get, the more prints I send!

Actually, inspiration just struck. As others have mentioned I'm not really the competitive type, so my giveaway was going to be based on something more abstract. So how about this, anyone who wants in pledge 1 print from whatever fruits to everyone else that is in. I suppose if too many people jump on it we might have to find some other way. Maybe just a print pool and everyone gets one. But no competition no requirements other than you have to make potentially a lot of prints. Just a straight exchange among willing participants. Thoughts? Of course you don't have to receive anything you don't want but it would potentially significantly increase everyone's print library. From this one grow, could get several other variants. Each print you make is a different print that you get.

Yeah, that's along the lines of what I was thinking - no competition, just sharing as an incentive for participating.

I'm on board with sending prints gained from this effort. Good stuff.

I planned on doing a KSSS giveaway on the Marketplace from my grow anyway so maybe instead I'll send one to those who want one as long as they finish their grow

This is a fine opportunity for a spore print pool! And seriously someone has to photoshop all the print pictures into a pool.

I updated the OP with sh4dows and Durgin's offers
Randalf I can link to your post now or I can wait and add yours once you've fleshed out your idea some more and know what you wanna do?

Here is the link for the LAGM2O2O PRINT EXCHANGE!!1!CBK, if you would be so kind as to throw this link in OP and I will add it to my grow log as well. I can delete this comment to keep it more centralized if you would like Thanks for this incredible idea everybody! Some men just want to see the world learn

Just pulled two tiny transfers off swipe plate! Located small, but vigorous growth considering short of three day old myc with magnifying glass.

As stated in my log, I just want to get away from the spore plate ASAP. Looks like maybe I'll do an additional transfer later unless these come out gold...hell, I'll settle for bronze.

How do you calculate nutrient % for soak water?
Say you want a 2% nutrient solution
First you measure out 98 grams of water then add in 2 grams of your grain soak water. Makes 100 grams, 2 grams out of 100 is 2% 
Although technically you could probably argue that the agar weight should be factored but for ease of calculating that's how I do it 
Grain soak water isnt 100% nutrient though. You’d have to figure out the water content by drying a measured amount down to a powder and do the math based on that.
If you added 2 grams of a grain flour to 98g h20 then it would be 2% but 2 g of soak water is probably more like 0.02%
I use grain water about 50:50 
Well sheeeeiiiiittttt I honestly didn't even consider that

I’m out of any competition but I’m not giving up completely. The spore syringe that I used, purchased from a website, was highly contaminated. I’m new at this but I have a background in biology and I have gone full mad scientist with the whole mycology thing. I’ve been through 19 agar plates and just ordered another 20. I know the difference between liquid solution contamination and airborne environmental contamination. The guy took forever to send me the Blue Meanie Cubensis spores so he sent an extra syringe, NICE! But EVERYTHING inoculated with the first one was really bad. I was meticulous about keeping everything sterile, used the oven tek, sprayed everything down with alcohol, and I ALWAYS inject the commercially prepared grain spawn bag first so if my sterilization methods aren’t sound for my grain jars I won’t cross contaminate, even though I sterilized the needle between each injection. So my agar plates ended up with what looked like thick yellow snot everywhere the spore solution went onto the agar. Today I doused them with H2O2 and tonight I am starting to see a few Carmel colored droplets so it looks like I will have to do it again tomorrow. There are still visible spores on both plates.
So I contacted the vendor and told him that I believed he had a contamination problem, volunteered to give him all the details about what I did, saw, smelled, etc. and offered to send him the second syringe, that has been unopened in the fridge since I got it, back to him so he could test and analyze it so he could prevent this problem in the future. He refused to believe it could be his product, gave me enough “points” on his site for another syringe, and ghosted me. I thought that was a bit dick-ish since I wasted a $20 grain bag from North Spore that turned into sour mash, 4 agar dishes, and 4 jars of my own prepared grain jars. I’m afraid to use the other syringe because it’s the same strain and I’m sure it’s from the same batch. Plus after he refused my offer to send it back for testing I’m afraid to inoculate anything else with his products. What did I do wrong? What did I do correctly? Do you think I can get the spores on the peroxide doused plates to grow? What do I do with the syringe that I’m convinced is contaminated?

Argh that sucks. Hope you have more success with the second syringe; maybe it can at least get you something salvageable through agar transfers? If not, I highly recommend getting a print, instead of a syringe: they're much cleaner to transfer.
