===COVID-19 GROW ALONG===

Hey guys,
With all this social distancing and quarantining happening it can be hard to find motivation throughout the day. I thought it would fun if we all helped spread some encouragement and positivity by sharing our grows or current projects.
I’m gearing to start a fresh spawn run so I spent the morning pouring some plates and reviving a couple dirty cultures that have been sitting around too long. I took transfers of P. Mexicana, and Rustywhyte, I also dropped some Golden Teacher spores on agar. After I get these cleaned up they will go into Masters and its off to the races.
I would love for this to be a thread where folks show their pandemic era grows from start to finish, but dont feel excluded if you wanna post up on a tub you are fruiting, some clones your working on, or anything else! hope to see some kick ass flushes here!!!

Welp I’ve got a toc clone from lagm and a questionable jar of playa uvita I’m spawning today, with another clone from a real good toc cluster a day or two behind.
So good timing.
I should’ve had ape melmak and Burma also but this fucking new seed is killing me.
Everything looks super healthy until I shake it then it gets instantly super bacterial to the point the wbs is super dark colored and soaked.

I hope everyone is having a bountiful 2020! 
MS -> PF Jar -> 1/2 pint spawn mixed with cow poo / straw Unmodified tupperware (8in x 8in x 2.5in) ~1inch sub depth

Just harvested yesterday, awaiting second flush. It was an interesting experiment, I thought the shallow substrate would impede their ability to grow vertically but it seems they had no problems growing as they wished.
4g-5g dried.

I'm happy with it for a MS grow; Gonna dig into them tonight!
I have some other grows going on but don't have pictures ATM, if I have time later I'll snap a few and contribute more!

I did transfers to those plates:

Planning to test buckwheat with them. I can get it for cheap, it has plenty of surface area and it should be easy to prep. Hoping it's going to work

Definitely keep us updated on that, I'm curious as to how that works out.

Nice plates. are those reuseable pyrex?? i have 4 giant pyrex petris im thinking of breaking out cuz my disposables are running low. I also am thinking of making a simple still and distilling 70% ethyl alcohol. anyone have any luck using a sanitizer besides alcohol?

Those are regular soda lime glass petris from China. I don't think there's a good reason to pay so much premium for borosilicate. I think we all use soda lime jars and nobody has issues with them cracking up in PC.

I'm busy right now.
From left to right, pyrex media bottle with basified mimosa tea awaiting a xylene pull, some cultures, 10x 500ml Rusty Whyte LC started just now, old LC I need to discard.

Tubs in action, eight tubs total right now with 14 bottles in each.
 
20 no pours for LI just inoculated with Rusty Whyte mycelium, 10 PF plates, also Rusty Whyte for PF slurry, 15 no pours with various other varieties (inoculation plates).

I am new to the forum. I have grown before but it’s been a long time and only ever the brf and perlite in a shotgun chamber. Recently I picked it back up. I have several different variances of cubes going but I’m starting to gravitate my interests more into the exotics realm. I have a little bit of everything in the works and after have a small roof filled with tubs mono and sfgc with trays of grain/sub I put set up an automated tent yesterday and am working on dialing it in now. So far so good.

Trying to hone my skills and focus on quality over quantity right now. I feel like I've been phoning it in with just ok grows the past couple years.
PE jars that will be going into 66qt monotubs. Went through at least 60 agar plates over Jan and Feb doing transfers and the quality of my jars really show it. 3 of the jars in the back are B+ that I'll do a mini mono with.

Some G2G jars in the back, LC i'm playing with on the side, and my first 2 clone plates I've ever done from a PE tub I harvested a couple days ago.

My current grow area that I will be limiting myself to. Trying to stagger everything out cause if it can't fit in here, it gets buried in the backyard!

Bonus pic of todays harvest! 1133g wet from a mini mono of 3qt spawn. Exact same amount as the tub I harvested right before and took the clone samples.

I’ll update on this thread once all these pop. From an old big ass PM clone. Excited.

Lookin Good Birdseed. You have been busy. May I ask why you prefer running bottles over monotubs? How does it compare yield wise? Also, those PF plates are cool. Do you find that you get sufficient GE without holes? are the lids lose? What is your proccess for making slurries.
Sorry to question bomb, just curious! cheers

transfers taken on 4/6....going to make two more transfers before putting these to grain....interesting to see such contrasting mycelium growth between varieties...does the tomentose plate look bacterial to anyone?

I just wrap them with some saran wrap. I lift that tray thing in presto with some mugs to keep the petris above the water level.

Well I had this plate that I was really into

But the jar went bad. I’m not sure if it was the plate or me but I hadn’t had many problems before then. Definitely let me know if you grain it.
