The second picture is definitely not a cube.

Looks like some pan. Maybe ATL7

hmm - I know that they'll grow with no light - or light 24-7 but was was under the impression that the ideal was a 12 on /  12 off lighting rhythm.

also anyone post video up here - I imagine that you probably can't do it directly but is there a streaming service that's more secure than a youtube type of thing?

I think that this jar will be fine. Right fellas?


Just kidding! I let it go for no good reason. Need to take it far away to dump it, bleach it and then set it on fire.

I dunno man, there's still some good mycelium in there!


Sporeless B+ clone. These were all 40g+ wet as well

Tydygy, dial your moisture content WAYYY back: ie dry them much better before jarring and sterilizing... these are soaked, likely bacterial,  which IMO/E, is where most other contamination starts: weakened imminal response due to underlying bacterial infection

No need to blast it with a nuclear bomb, you can use a jar still green with trichoderma spores so long as you sterilize properly

Thanks Caps. This was just a joke post. I have 54 jars that were fine. I think that the moisture got in through the SFD getting wet in the PC because of a poorly place bit of foil. I also let the oats cook an extra 5 minutes because I thought they were a bit dry on my previous run. But as you said, dryer is better. I just enjoy learning from the fails almost as much as the successes.


Here is my first Pasty Dialed in tub converted from a Bodified mono. A PE clone from my first ms run. Lost track of days from lock down, but I think this is 7 days from spawn. I will be adding a bit of Jiffy coir casing soon, probably. I can't find the 50+ anywhere so I am using this that has coir as well. It has worked great for a silly cased spawn jar that keeps producing. This is flush #5.

I’m real into these melmaks. I’m expecting they’ll have a huge growth spurt overnight.

Looks great! I just spawned 10 shoeboxes of melmac and will be doing another 10 in a few days. This will be my first time growing a clone and excited to see how they turn out. Here's the tissue donor for the first round of shoeboxes (middle guy in first pics): 


The next round coming up will be from this guy(I hope to retain the unique cap):

I love this variety!

Over the last few days, I innoc'd 20qts with natalensis wedges. Here's one of the plates (also a clone):


Now the waiting game
