Yeah, my EcoEarth has been retaining a lot less water in recent batches. I do the bucket tek with coir alone, boiling water. I've been using roughly 2.13L / 2.25qt / 9C. Literally going over that 1C pushes it over the field capacity that works for my conditions. I've considered that maybe I'm not giving it enough time to fully absorb/expand. But I typically leave it in half an hour before the first mix-up. Another hour and a half for the next mix-up. And it's finally cooled enough to work with after 4-5 total hours. Should be noted that I don't use an insulated cooler. Just a 5gal lidded bucket.
Having vermiculite around sure makes things a lot easier.

Inthepit said: So I'm going to follow this Coir Tek from Shaper Dreaming.
1) Take 550g of coir. For 5 shoeboxes 2) Boil 2.5L of water +1 cup 3) Put 2 cups of boiling water into a cooler for 10 min to pre-heat the cooler 4) Dump out the water 5) Add the coir the cooler, then pour water over it 6) Close lid, wait 60 min 7) After an hour stir up the coir to try make sure you don't get dry spots 8) Wait until cool (I just wait overnight)
And...since the last recipe: "650g of coir that's 3250. which is 3.25L of water.-Bod", was way too much water for the Coir I use.  I'll try 25% less water. That's Walmart's name on the package. It would be interesting if anyone else uses this brand and has to use less water?
I've used that brand before. 550ml water for 1 shoebox (110g coir) was working great, but it can vary brick to brick. that's the same as Bodh's recipe though, just 1:5 coir:water by weight.
Good luck on the test, 25% seems like a lot, but I suppose it's easy to add water.

Pan cyan myc looking better.
 My cambo myc is still looking real haggard tho. I took a bunch of samples from the germ plate but nothing looking as nice as the cyan which gave me a few plates to choose from.

I took some more samples from lighter looking growth as well. I'll wait for them to grow put and take more pics.
I was aiming for a culture that looked like crons and this was the closest looking one.

the following mostly went to grain, half plate to one jar, minus one failure. ended up with seven jars hoogs.

put all of these to grain, half plate to one jar. that's twelve jars.
left to right: rwj, rws, rwx
They look real good. I'm having issues with bacteria in my plates and I'm using my hood with raised grate like yours. Do you have a video I can watch how you work in the flow

cool man👍 i know that shit can be a pain in the ass man. im new to pans as well and am still trying to get use to the myc and all the different kinds of growth that pans like to put out. after looking at only cubes for 3 years this shits a whole new animal. i have come to find the light whispy fine stranded looking shit like this stuff here seems to do the best for me



while the thicker fluffy heavy looking stuff likes to do shit like this to me. it just overlays and sits n eats while never ever fruiting.

hobbit, i haven't shot any video. only vids i've watched were roger rabbit's. i wear a surgical mask, but generally no gloves. i'm not an expert, but i have such a low contamination rate on agar since getting into the flow cabinet, well it really does feel like cheating.
a fun little experiment, play with a stick of incense in front of the flow. view from the side with a very dark background. watch how the smoke reacts to your motions. laminar flow is laminar right up to the point it interacts with an obstruction, at which point it becomes turbulent as fuck. now watch the smoke interact with something else, like say, the lid of a petri dish. develop an intuition for how the airflow will react to the presence of obstructions. spores and dust behave very much like smoke in a stiff breeze. assuming your filter is ok, you should be able to reason thru what's causing your bacteria problem. best wishes getting it sorted.

I've just inoculated 28 bottles (two tubs worth) with Mexican Dutch King LC (MS):

I have more LC and PF plates (for slurry) laying around, Mexican (MS) and PE (MS and two in vitro clones). That's enough inoculant for another 84 bottles (14 each per jar of slurry or LC).
