About pasteurizing longer, I always thought over 2 hours was bad from what ive read here.
well anyways, The other day I fell asleep with a big pot of horse shit on the stove. In total it was on there for atleast 10 hours maybe closer to 12. Temp was 168ish when I woke up.
I went ahead and spawned it with a melmak clone in a mix of straw, coir, and gypsum. still have 5 of 12 tubs fruiting today. They were spawned on september 10th. I jiffy cased 4 of them on sept 19th. I pasteurized it with a core temp over 140 for 2 hours getting up to ~170 at the end. Also added a fresh layer of coir to 4 other tubs leaving the rest alone.
the 4 jiffy tubs grew trich in like 1 day only from the jiffy mix itself. It felt like only a few hours honestly it was ridiculous. Maybe I should have left it cooking overnight like I did the hpoo

As long as it doesn’t get too hot I don’t think you can go too long. I know at least one phenomenal grower that lets his sub cook overnight.
Longer cook times and then giving it a couple days before you use it seems to be the best method.

Also I know dick about mycology, would someone share some insight? Why is it taking the same amount of time for the same species to colonize half the grain as my larger jars? I had 3 little pints that I wanted to fuck around with expecting them to colonize way quicker but they're taking just as long as the quarts. Am I just really bad at this?

Wet could be temp difference, or bacteria.
I’ve had the same thing with different sized jars. I’ll have half pints take longer than quarts sometimes. Could be grain prep or could just be the amount of inoculation points on bigger jars idk.

I guess we'll see. I'm gonna sit on 'em obviously and let them continue colonizing and just watch them.
I feel like once I get my little chamber setup for the pans I'm just gonna focus on them for awhile. I feel like with my failure rate at this point I could really benefit from the speed of the pans - at least I don't have to wait a month to know I fucked up.

This is a different kind of fuck up, but I'm putting together a martha grow tent and decided to see if I could source a cheap ultrasonic mist maker off of AliExpress instead of buying from a more expensive source. I found this 10 head unit for $40 USD, said f**k it, and pulled the trigger without doing any further research at all.
It showed up today like this:

It takes DC power . It says this explicitly on the product page and even has a picture of the power cord with nothing but bare wires on the end, so it's 100% my fault.
Off to find a DC power supply now, interested to see if it's actually any cheaper in the end.

I’m In the process of tossing 6 shoeboxes, a sweater box and 14qts of spawn because I didn’t test my LC. I’d say my second grow is going great so far

make sure its not your grain prep or something else weird. Thats the kind of shit the mushrooms will pull on you to make a point sometimes. To remind you whos really got things under control.
you'll think ya learned the lesson and you come back more confident then ever. Then ya get twice as many eggs as last time. Ya fix the problem by getting one huuuge basket way better then the last one, it'll hold 2x the amount of egg
Then boom you trip over the old basket that you left on the floor and break every single egg once again.
(that is a metaphor btw)

A little more than half of the total spawn was done with 24hr soak WBS and the rest was WBS with a 20min soak in boiling water. I sure hope I didn’t fuck up two teks. Heh.
I’m fairly certain it was the LC. I got excited and put some sketchy clone growth on agar to some broth and crossed my fingers. Live and learn.

I thought my T2 rusty whyte plates looked really good so did something I typically don’t do and sent them. This is one I held back because I didn’t like how it looked.... now it has me wondering if anything was hiding in the other plates.

They looked fine on grain and just got sent to sub the other day.

I’ve had some old plates where I wonder if something got through the wrap eventually or if it was always hiding in there.
I just opened a box of old plates and a bunch had strange mold type stuff growing on them but they were definitely looking clean for the months I had them out and was working with them.

Ive also had this happen... i kept a few random stacks of plates i rarely used in a mini mono for months and then one day they were all moldy... had been sealed for at least 8 weeks perfectly fine...

Wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing and just sent two different crosses to the same LI 🤦🏻♂️ They was best looking plates of the two as well. Then I had taken xfers of the rw x gremlin and labeled them as RW x Melmac... I think I need to take a break for a bit

Maybe I should just send it to grain anyhow and play genetics roulette lol

Definitely send it to grain. Happy accidents... I fucked up. Don't typically do lab work high... Put a plate in my li jar and put it on the blender. Turned it on, and nothing. I forgot to plug it in. Plugged it in and forgot to turn it off...spun out of control onto the concrete along with the blender base. Nothing broke though. Could have definitely destroyed my hood filter though. Got lucky.

I get immediate anxiety when anyone mentions damaging a hood filter... I bumped mine once and freaked out for over 45 minutes straightening 2 little foil folds... lol

A fully colonized tray (4qts spawn big) fell to the floor and broke apart. I rehydrated a bit and I put the pieces together best I could. Felt like punching myself
