TigerStrike, that's a super dope idea! I'd potentially be up for helping with design, if this takes off...? just depends on my workload by the time this wraps up, or if you'd even want help. I just finished designing some fancy packaging for a batch of mush chocolates and was I thinking of making a write-up of the process, I think people don't realize that you can make something look totally professional with just a home printer (or local copy store).

Jarhead, you definitely don't need a fully colonized plate for either transfers or grains. For transfers, it sometimes benefits to only wait a minimum amount of time, because you'll be helping the myc out-pace any contams. I typically do an agar session every week, so, my transfer plates are usually about halfway colonized by then. For grains, I wait until I have a semi-circle that's at least an inch wide, but typically they're closer to 2". I never use a full plate, personally. You could even noc grains with just a little sliver of colonized agar, but larger chunks are going to help the grains colonize a bit faster.

Hell yea. I'm down with a friendly race to harvest with the RW's. I made my t1 plates yesterday. I will go to t2 and if they are clean from there, I will be going to lc.




Yeah, I mean "race" in the loosest of definitions. Our processes won't be the same since I don't run LCs, although you're a bit ahead of me because I haven't jumped off the spore plate yet. I can also guarantee you that this strain of RW's is one of my slowest colonizers, so I'd actually bet against myself if I was putting money on this :rofl:

I let my plates grow out almost completely to the edge and cut them into 9 pieces like so.

1 piece goes to its own jar and each jar goes to a shoebox. I plan to keep doing this until I eventually get a clone worthy culture that will go to bigger tubs.

I just wait till it looks pretty and starts talking to me and telling me to move it. I mean we are working with fractals and exponential growth here...

hoping everything went well and 2 get colonized for 1 tray.

I'm handy when it comes to construction or fabricating something but computers are WAY out of my wheelhouse. I own a lawncare business and even that shits going digital. I've got my wife on payroll to manage my social media accounts lol. I still track inventory, expenses, payroll, invoices and everything the old fashioned way. I need to get with the times!

I mentioned doing a LC in my last update. I will only do that for the x7x. I only need 1qt of spawn at a time for the Pan Cyans.

  • Dropped a large wedge of Pan Cyan to 1qt grain.
  • Took 7 or 8 xfers of x7x each to their own plate.

Boo!  All my cups ended up with bacterial contamination with nothing that seemed salvageable.

I'll give it another go once my unexpected house guest leaves in a week or two.

Update to my log:

01/11/2021 Update:


Contaminated!:

Well, all 8 of these cups ended up contaminated. 

Will have to postpone this grow for a while as I have an unexpected house guest for the next couple of weeks.

May switch to a different MSS when I resume.

I am totally a jack of all trades, master of none. I learned to weld in grade school (3rd grade is I remember correctly) and have been building furniture/reptile enclosures for fun for many years. I never stop digging into countless interests for the sake of learning. However, growing where I did and my love for love for learning about drugs kept me out of those career paths.
Everything computer related I've learned on my own in my freetime for fun.
Right now, thanks to COVID, I'm getting by selling paintings and 3d prints while I building/expanding my greenhouse and cactus collection. Using this as an opportunity to make a career change. I don't like how quickly and easier I lost a career that I worked decades for.
