So far so good (even though I left the window cracked and HEPA on) we’ve got takeoff folks in ALL these plates, even the original from last January looks like it might have some teeny tiny pinheads (either that or it’s contam).

For a n00b, I’m paranoid I’ll mess up and loose the ORIG master. I realize I shouldn’t be since I have all these other plates (spores, cap, top section of the stem (black with spores) as well as trunk and base sections) germinating in separate plates (plus a bunch of other various plates from the original LC culture).
This is how I originally received the ORIG plates' shroom piece (in that LC) and how it looked shortly after I transferred the piece to the plate it’s in now.

I haven't done anything with that plate until now, when I found it had pinned and that pin had dropped spores (been distracted with getting APE spores going - the little darlines are popping their heads up in their Pasty EZ monos as I write - FINALLY!)
I get overwhelmed with the wealth of information and teks on how to keep a master culture going. I’ve read myc on agar will dry out but then Fahtster has a tek where colonized pop corn (or grain) is dried out, sits on a shelf that way until he wants to use it, rehydrates it in that same jar and it produces… so maybe if mine dry out all I’d need to do is rehydrate it in some LC? I read where dried shrooms were rehydrated too, but they had to be naturally dried, not dehydrator dried. There’s soOooo much to learn and do with this hobby.
Wish me luck! In addition to having these spore plates going for LAGM2021
- I have my first batch of four Pasty’s EzLC which are getting thick with myc so I need to dive in and pour on prepped quart rye jars - I'm sure I have WAY more LC than I need.
- I have seven 1/2 pint Josex’ Poke LCs ready and waiting for these spores’ myc to be transferred out and be ready and clean for the poke. Again I've probably made more than I need. Anyway... I read in the comments of that tek this LC has a long shelf life with no need to be refrigerated (which I assume would apply to all LC's, even Pasty's EzLC?) so I should have plenty of time. I’m using non-modified grey Ball plastic lids though, which was not recommended in the tek and I KNOW n00b’s are to follow teks to a T before switching things up but… I don’t have the means to make the holes, don’t want the raised eyebrows to borrow the tools, etc. and I read in other posts other folks have used unmodified lids so - leap of faith -wish me luck!
- I've got twelve quarts of prepped rye and eight more coming to use with the above Pasty and Josex jars. Hope I'm not being overly ambitious
Time will tell...
- Also, from that original jar of LC I have: three other original agar plates of shroom flesh waiting for me to figure out what and how to do what with them (slants - don't have any supplies; LC on a shelf - have all those supplies; Transfer some to another thickly poured agar plate - have experience and supplies; Give Fahtster's tek a go - need to first make his lid); From it’s A2G I put some colonized grains to agar; I took a clone from it’s harvest and transferred out from that. I wanted to learn, try out different things, see what happens, but most of all I was driven by my desire to make sure in one form or another I keep that original master going... and then I read about senescence
more to learn and understand...
... my mind is like a lite-up pinball machine ... ping a thought flashes ... ping ping ping a question lights up
- I really need to read up more and understand the what, how, why of saving/using/storing a master culture...
- when do you start to be concerned about a culture loosing it’s vigor/potency (it’s already been four months of sitting in an agar dish)…
- how do I know if I poured the recommended amount of LC without using something to measure…
- what if I pour too much…
- remember to close the windows and turn off the HEPA filter before working in the SAB…
- don’t forget to put a hat on and wear your long sleeved t-shirt with the thumb holes cuz then when you put your gloves on it’s sleeves are held down far enough on your hands that the pulling up of the gloves doesn’t rub off dry skin which is probably where those little orange flecks of contam have been coming from cuz it never happen when you wore those t-shirts (bet even after liberally spraying and rubbing ISO ALL over hands and wrists after that dries there’s a remaining fleck or two that flys off - that won't happen with those T-Shirts, they are held down via the thumb hole and the gloves cover it a good inch of more)…
- go back to putting the heavily ISO sprayed bath towel down as the bottom of the SAB, you didn’t have contams then either…
- damn this sunburn, maybe I should wait till it’s all peeled off…
- and on and on it goes...

Its good to see you taking the time to read up on everything... but occasionally it can scare new peeps in a different way... I can't speak for everyone but ive been at this a good while and I haven't reached the point of senescence with any of my original cultures... im just getting my slant game going, but ive been using a thickly poured plate as my master in the fridge... pop it out, take a few xfers tape it back up and back to the fridge... other than that, looks like you've got it pretty well sorted...

Thanks roarkell I'm doing this by myself meaning there is no one to share my hobby goings on with so your comments and encouragement means a lot. I'm not alone It's me and the Shroomery folk This site has everything you would ever need along with great support and feedback from folks like yourself, Inthepit, Fahtster, A.k.a, jay.ach, Alien, Josex, and so many others

@Inthepit - you mentioning Adult Content encouraged me to give it a try and I was able to follow your instructions As you can see, I used your suggestion too 
Bada Boom Bada Bang... I now have a signature to which I'll be adding to thanks to you 
...lol... it didn't link so I deleted and re-entered this post. Now it does but the color turned from the green I wanted to blue Back to the drawing board...
.....hmmm no matter what I do it's not changing color back to 83FF17, blue works too!

Yeah... I started lurking here back in 07ish didn't actually join up for years... its an incredible place with so much communal knowledge... its a bit tough to get some of the lingo and some of the older hands saltiness... lol. I try to make sure every post is at least helpful if not positive... and if you haven't checked out the Marketplace yet, its another amazing resource here... im gearing up for a big giveaway in a week or two so if youre looking for something new to play with, keep an eye out!

@roarkell - I struggle with the lingo too and I can understand some of the saltiness that's handed out and some I think is misinterpreted as such. A few days ago I was poking around this site and happened upon a giveaway and now can't find it nor remember the name of it. Hahahaha gotta have a sense of humor when that happens. Wonder if it was yours?

No, I dont have anything current going on... for a while I was doing one a month tho...
Mine will be up after 4th of July I suspect... got a pretty big selection that needs thinning out... I print almost everything I grow so I tend to have a surplus... lol. No reason to hoard it all!

I was away while these guys were in the FC. But here we are, a clone from one of the above grows. Much better results. I think the pin set may have been messed up by how I neglected the tray before casing but I'm still happy with the results and super pleased with pulling off my first clone.

So on this more positive note I will call my LAGM finished!! Thanks all!

Here is a photo dump from the last 20 days or so. I have a couple monos of my LAGM2021 TOC that are just finishing up their second flush. Came out quite nicely if I do say so myself! I pulled 10oz dry total on the first flush from both monos. I also have 1 mono of TWC which is lagging for some reason. Hopefully I'll get pins soon.

Hey all... I just now noticed those little mushrooms (and other little icons) under our names where they're displayed to the left of any thread we comment on. What's their purpose, use, etc. and how would you rate someone, or is this explained somewhere on the site

The blue mushrooms are a general rating and the green ones are trade rating. To add a rating click on their username and go to the bottom and click on the link titled, "add rating". To view their ratings you can just click on the colored mushrooms to see each kind or go into their profile and click, "view ratings".

The icons refer to different aspects of using this site... not sure what the teapot is... but what looks like a butterfly is actually a book for your journal... the green square thing takes you to the user's gallery
