Hey guys, doing a grow of some AA+ and wanted to share. I tried a couple MS to grain and never worked out for me, so I decided to put in the effort and start from scratch learning agar. All the time and effort feels like it has all paid off! I wanted to share my current grow! After several transfers, this was the AA culture I isolated and used.

I'll be posting pictures tonight of what my shoebox looks like exactly one week since spawning. I have tiny microscopic beads on the surface, not everywhere, kind of scattered around. I thought is needs to be everywhere all over the surface so I gave it a few pumps of spray misting yesterday morning, but I'm weary and cautious of doing anymore because I don't want to make anything too wet or over saturated. Yet I see other pictures of tear drop and rain drop sized beads all over the surfaces, and mine are nowhere like that so that's why I have been contemplating this. The reason I'm thinking into all this is because I'm worried if I made my coir and verm bulk substrate too dry. Right now I would say it's about 80 to 90 percent colonized.

Lol I forgot you had used two quarts of spawn I was so baffled how it was colonized so fast.
I still vote it needs more mist.
That’s a good culture if you’ve still got it plated.
Seven days with that many knots is great.

this looks awesome! can't wait to see it start to pin...
as an aside, i've always loved the look of 1/4pt jars for agar work. i know it's not nearly as efficient as other agar teks, but glass is just so clean :p

So you think another mist is needed? How do you know if you’ve misted too much and made it too wet or over saturated it?

you want beads of water on the surface but not pooling

If water pools up pour it out. Water should just be glistening on the surface and then building up on the walls and lid. If you can tilt and pour out water do it.

I just gave it 2 squirts of fine mist and that's all. I looked over it with my flashlight and now I can definitely see glistening fine mist beads. Now I'm kind of worried if I may of over did it because could those end up pooling up? They're really fine, but now I'm concerned it can be over saturated and done because I gave it a mist yesterday too. I'm too afraid to even do anymore now while colonizing.

the fine mist is totally fine. it won’t start pooling if it’s just fine beads. it just shouldn’t look sopping wet or have puddles that move when you tilt the tub that’s too much water

so now, just make sure those beads are always on surface.
So you can give less fresh air which will make the same beads evaporate slowly, which works ok if your not home or able to keep close eye on it.
Or
You can up the fresh air exposure and as soon as the beads evaporate, mist it again. Doing this will need micromanagement and frequent watching since more fresh air exposure will evaporate faster (controlled moisture).
Just don't let it dry out

So yeah I'm doing an unmodified shoebox with just the lid cracked on the latches for FAE. I thought you don't mist until there are pins. Can't you over do misting while it is knotting and prevent it from pinning? Also, I have a little FAE at the moment like I told you about, but should I increase it now while knotting? Or only increase FAE when there are actual pins?

I haven't been moving it so I don't want to pick it up - set and forget -, but I can see still see from the sides that the bottom curve of the tub and liner all the way around still hasn't gotten to being colonized yet. It's getting closer though so I think a few more days. If it starts pinning during that time isn't that premature pinning and a bad sign?
