I started taking some transfers from my Melmac plates but had to stop because the wickless alcohol burner I use kept erupting in flames out the sides. Glad I finally learned that you have to store these things dry otherwise they corrode and turn into a flaming hot mess. New one will arrive Monday. So I'm taking the weekend off from mycology. 
 Anyway, got some nice photos of the myc running off the sliced tips.

took first transfers yesterday. did about 10 others of a straight swab, but nothing has sprouted yet. the two I mushed down into the agar are growing vigorously, especially the one pictured above. swab sticks arrived broken all the way up to almost the cotton, so I had to attach them to pc'd/flamed forceps.

Broken swab sticks? Those auto mail sorting machines must be vicious.

Anyone see anything? 
 First flush of first grow! MS. I'm surprised how quick this fruited, tub was set up 1/28. less than 2 weeks for pins seems early for a PE variety? Or does melmac fruit relatively early compared to PE?

I cannot answer about fruiting time. To my knowledge melmac should be noticeably slower than "normal" cubensis.
Just came to say that youe tub looks dry to me. Think you should mist that

My Melmac take about 20 days from spawn. Tub looks fine enough. I never like misting before/during first flush The sparkley looking fuzzyness in the photo is water droplets I presume. Phone pics from flash in low lighting often look off, but I'm not there in person. I can only recommend leaving the lid closed at least until your pinset fully establishes. Then maybe flip your lid. Otherwise leave em be to stay well hydrated. That's my approach; give em food, water, and shelter and then be patient.

Thanks for the feedback, tub looks great to me in person. I decided to not case on this first batch just to see how it does. Will likely case on the next round to compare.

That makes sense, glad to see this first round with these genetics is going quick. I Don't mist until after first flush, i occasionally water the side before the flush is over if it's a big flush.

Since I have cleaned up my spawn, and raised my standards on agar as well as adopted liners, with adequately measured materials; namely coir/water, I just set and monitor until the sub is visibly colonized at which point I make sure myids are unlatched. Once the pinset begins to swel I flip the lids. My liners are 3mil clear plastic cut to size.

I've got some mel from Quirk! I'm only up to first xfer right now, but that's just from the fragments of one swab he sent me so I've got a mountain of genetics to explore from him to go!

I'll make sure to keep this thread up to date on what results from his generosity :3

Nice! I just let a bag of M6 spawn go for a while cause it had a tiny spot of contamination. It fruited nothing but blob.

Looks like regular cubes. Is MM not fully stabilized?

Looks like his filter patch holes are low MM isn't the most penisy PE IMO.

PE and melmak look pretty normal until almost fully mature.. in a general sense. Some will look unique right from the get go

Well, this is multispore. Also these aren't from quirky, i got a swab from another shroomerite. There are a lot of blobs/mutants, especially in the other tub i have going.
My filter patch holes are about 4 inches from the bottom, classic monotub.
