Nice cluster on the left:awesomenod:

I really want to spawn something. This one jar is too shitty for g2g and will probably mold on me. I dont get this jar. Grew fine. Recovered from 30% shake fine.


Prespawning shake?
:no:

On the plus side my ksss pin clone is pinning like a champ.

Starting 11 of these wide mouthed cakes tomorrow. Also got some popcorn going in addition to my other cakes but seems like even having bought some of them premade every successive time (that I make my own) not only colonizes faster but essentially laps the others. The premade ones seem to not have used coarse vermiculite. They weren't necessarily marketed for actives. The strain was said to possibly be mazatapec but was primarily described as a mystery strain so thatll be fun to discover lol

OP updated :smile:

*I normally use a pseudo casing of extra sub but forgot to reserve some for this purpose. In a pinch, I ran to the store and grabbed to verm to use as casing. I honestly hate use verm to case but oh well

APE

Of the 2 Ape jars, this is the one that survived. It was planned to be used for g2g so not a full quart but I'm going with it. Spawned to shoebox in coir\verm roughly 2:3 spawn:sub

Z

This Z strain was started late and rushed. Of the 2 jars, one survived. Both jars were noc'd using a germ plate so despite the wet(bacterial) look, I'm pleasantly surprised and still going ahead with it. Spawned to shoebox in coir\verm sun roughly 1:1

PFC



*The only variant that both jars survived the trials and hardships and shortcomings* As with all jars, I gave them a sniff through filter when breaking up and when opening. All jars smelled like beautiful earthy mushrooms, and while none of the jars were shaken during colonization, I saw no signs of fungal contams after shaking to spawn. However, one of these PFC jars seemed to bruise noticably more than any other when shaken. Will keep and eye on it as they go. Both jars spawned to shoebox in coir\verm sub at roughly 1:1.

PR

This is one of the two PR jars. Both survived the neglect but one did not fully colonize in the same amount of time, most likely due to inefficient distribution of agar during noc'ing. That jar was shaken and waiting to finish and will be spawned in near future. PR jar pictured was shaken and observed. No visual signs of fungal contams and smell is as expected. Spawned to shoebox in coir verm sub at roughly 1:1.

CR

This was the best looking jar of the lot. All other jars appeared slightly on the wet side. This is due to compensation I thought I needed, as well and a bit of error. My last run using SFD seemed to dry out a bit towards the end of colonization. This time I dried to make the grains slightly more wet to help with this. At the same time, health and time constraints forced my hand and I loaded the grains even more wet than I planned or would have liked. None the less, this CR variant looks more like right. Myc still has that light, somewhat translucent, look to it and some good growth. This is my hopeful jar. Spawned to shoebox in coir verm sub at roughly 1:1.

TAMPS

Not part of the LAGM2O2O, but figured I would share anyway. My first real run with Tamps. Had a bit of success with PFtek but no fruits came of that one. Just stones. This jars made some fine looking stones that I found while spawning. I left them in the mix to keep growing. Tamp myc always looks a bit weird to me but jar still has the honeydew\watermelon smell to it. The dark spots in photo are sunflower seeds against the glass. This was the only jar that was noc'd with a T3 or higher. All other jars were noc'd using T1,T2, or a germ plate. Spawned to shoebox in coir verm sub at roughly 1:1.


All shoeboxes placed in holey GH inside my grow cabinet. Looking for cheap and easy ways to increase humidity in this GH and open to suggestions so please advise if you have an idea.

Yeah that's you're print. At the time I thought I was going to lose my house on the 28th( and actually still didn't have a certainty on that until 5am this morning) and didn't want to waste the plate so I took a shot. Tried 2 jars, got one that should fruit. Other jar es no bueno.
Thankfully, I now know that I am not losing my house, and slowly but surely recovering from surgery, so I will begin ramping but up soon and start moving on to bags as I had planned.
It's been a rough 3 or 4 weeks, and I had to rush a lot of this project just to try to finish in time, but I am thankful for the limited success I have gotten this far and can't wait to get my lab but up and running.
I actually bought my gfs son a microscope and am going to do some agar experiments and such with him. Obviously not my kind of lab work, but swabbing random things and looking at creek water, but excited to get back to it and get a young mind interested in the beauty of science.

... I swear I'm still in this...

I have a pretty big update to make with all of my newly-sourced Chitwan spores that are now at T1 and looking great. Been taking pictures/video the whole time.. just no access to my desktop and I'm being lazy as a mahf. Soon.

The originals I've put to LI/Shoebox... almost certainly destined to fail.
One of the many plates that I had did put up some tiny tiny pins that don't look like any cubensis pins I've ever seen. So I'm kind of still on the curiosity that they might be a different species.

Good to hear you're back on track with the life stuffs Randalf

Cause that's what the tek said, mang :deal:

Makes sense though, don't it? Plastic bag covers the rim (not a tight cling on these, but tight enough), so it's just a big uh baggy lid.

My other, non-LAGM boxes: And the same culture, but one more transfer in and spawned 1:2

I'm still with you guys! Sorry it's taken me forever to update.

I want you guys to know I spend 10-20 hours a week reading and researching the ins and out of growing. Studying pictures of how things should look and how they shouldn't. I even save them to my computer for quick review. I appreciate this forum and value all the great feedback and support you give.

And I'm really in need of feedback and guidance.

I inoculated my grain jars on 1/23. Here's how they look today:



The last pictures is two grain jars inoculated with the same agar wedge, but one hasn't recovered the shake.

Here they were on 2/11:



Here's my bulk BRF cakes I grated to a shoebox on 2/15. This too has been so painfully slow! But look! I finally have some pins:



What do you think? Good surface conditions?

And lastly, new grain jars I inoculated on the 2/18:



Jars are receiving ambient daylight and I dubtubbed my shoebox and  put it under a 6500k light bulb today (yeah, I know, I could have used a grocery bag but why when I have so many shoeboxes just sitting there empty. Plus the light shines on them better this way.

I'ma jump back in the mix again.
Still the same variety - different spore source.
I've got the other ones going still. But.. eh. We'll see I guess.




2 • 13 • 20

•  SporesAgar  •


Here we fucking go again - new source for Chitwan sporeseses.

Some sloppy technique in this video:
- 0:47, I start monkey-gripping the syringe - hovering my hand over the sterilized needle, nullifying the sterilization.
- 1:11, I have to pass off the swab from left to right hand - not a huge deal, but I should familiarize myself with doing it opposite (either streaking or dropping spores left-handed)

2 • 18 • 20

•  Germination Day 5  •


Now it's looking like a normal germ plate.
I'll let the colony at 2 o'clock grow out a little bit and take it from there.

2 • 22 • 20

•  Germination Day 9 - Transfer 1  •



Surprise! It grew out more!
That 5-6 o'clock range in that 2:30 colony looks best. Probably should have grabbed it a bit earlier.
Fucked up a little by not taking all the way into the leading edge, and not quite into the 5 o'clock range of it. Whoops.

2 • 25 • 20

•  T1 Day 3  •


Growing out alright - decent vigor, predominately nice looking.
I'll need to make up for my botched grab at that germ plate with another transfer or so.
Nevertheless, It's nice to know I've got something familiar.

Sorry for being lazy, I know I could just go read the thread but what happened footpath? I thought your plates were doing well when I was last active.


Edit: I stopped being lazy and read your trial and error log. Can't watch vid on browser right now but seems they may not be what they were supposed to be? I'll check the videos out later on cause I know you do great video documentation of your work. Thanks for the great data and experience.

I think they might be something else? Or just in really poor shape? Or excessively overrun with contams? Something's up with them. I did another trial of streaking them and all, but it turned out things like this:

And here's a T1 plate:

And the only plate to pin thus far - which was from one of the second attempts at streaking that was mostly overrun with bacteria at the beginning:

Look cube-y enough... but I dunno. I'm gonna clone it and see what happens.
I still have a log running on the back burner for it. But it really kicked my enthusiasm in the balls.

That looks crazy. Like a morel cube or something. Maybe just because of contams. Yeah that's weird but I would love to see what comes of a clone.

Bummer man, I understand that feeling of going from full speed to bogged down in the mud. Glad to see you got some more going though.

in anticipation of spawning some aa+ and cyan jars soon I decided to give a go at prepping and pasteurizing poo/straw subs.. have a few other qts from other projects that are ready to be spawned so lets see how it goes.

probably used a little to much straw in this mix but oh well:shrug:

OP updated as well. Steady as she goes....



February 27th, 2020

There days in, SB look about as expected. Nothing significant to report are one so mostly a group update.

The SBs still have a bit of that new container smell. That and the smell of a verm layer which I don't normally use freaked me out when I first checked them. After lots of smelling and checking though I am fairly confident all is well. I may crack the lid on the CR as it seems a bit more wet than the others. This is my first run with SBs and I'm already on high alert with these so I think I may be over thinking. Just need to let them play out.

    One of the PFC continue to be the best performer as far as growth rate. Greatly anticipating the APE so watching that one with bated breath and trying not to jinx myself.

Having some trouble keeping RH in GH over 30%. Very cold and dry here and even with a pan of water with a fan blowing on it in the bottom on GH, it still lingers at 28%-33%.
