If they don't have it in stock they will order it in for you. I ordered 3 bags in when they were out of stock last year, it was ready to pickup in a couple days.
I've been so lazy lately I got plates overgrowing and jars sitting in the PC I was meaning to inoculate last week 
School is really affecting my ability to cultivate lol. Running on no sleep some days to finish assignments...can't wait till things relax a bit more but not sure it's gonna happen until the end of this semester.

I started using hard winter rye. I love it. Is it like wheat? Oats are easy to prep but I don't like how it's hard to tell if it's bacterial or normal once its fully colonized. WBS , ya know I really like it too. Stinks the house to high heaven. But I like how it performs and how small they are.

Happens when bacteria start to proliferate.

You mean the slime? It's happened with both cold soak and simmer.

When I soak wbs overnight it has a ton of oily blobs on the surface. I drain it off and refill and itβs good after that.

I broke up with BRF cakes today and started doing agar. Is there any good way to re purpose a SGFC for cultivation use?

So the bird seed was a total failure. The 24 hour soak wasn't sufficient for hydration and the seed expanded by a 1/3, subsequently over filling the jar.

The seeds baked to the bottom and sides in whatever oil they exude. Made a fuckin mess of my jars. You can see the darker coloured seeds on the far right which cover everything in a gooey oily sludge.

These seeds can eat a bowl of dicks. That was the worst grain prep failure I've ever experienced.

Drain and refill? Refill what. I drained, rinsed then in jar and into the pc. Seed was oily as fuck.
Probably throwing it outside for birds and tree rats.

how do you make sure that your spawn colonizes correctly? after a few showboxes that are going slow or are maybe RIP I want to make sure the spawn I have almost ready is going to work

Ive prepped hundred if not thousands of wbs jars. The 24 soak has never been enough.(It was originally meant to germ endospores) I do a soak(usually 12 hour) in combination with simmer until I see the first burst grains. Then dump and dry before loading. At the very least you need to blanch them with boiling water before loading wet. Wbs is pretty great. I prefer wheat berries but there is nothing wrong with wbs even the stuff with added oils.

Well the first thing is having clean spawn, next is ensuring that your coir isn't too wet or too dry. Better to be on the dry side though as apposed to too wet.
Bacteria will cause slow growth, it will also result in stalled growth.
Cold temps can also slow growth.
@gizmo thanks, that was my first WBS attempt. I'll forgo the 24 hour cold soak and do either a bucket tek hydration or a stove simmer.
Is the 12 hour soak necessary or can it be overlooked?

what did you spawn the shoeboxes with? grains?
are you using agar to inoculate your grains, or at least agar to clean up cultures?
that is where things really clicked for me. before I started using agar my grows were kinda meh

Sup fam? Im out here in some country ass country. Freezing balls in the PNW. They got some amazing fucking dabs out here. Been working on the shit like it's the cure for cancer. That and blackberry wine/cider. Coyotes go off a few hours after sundown every night. Apparently the 1000 or so acres surrounding me will be filled with hemp this season.

That's a real bummer my canadian brother. I have not had oily issues with wbs. First ive heard of it. Wheat is the good though, you'll like it.
