Here's one from this morning:

It seems a rat found my spent substrate/contamination dump. It's really more of a failure for Mr Rat, as his days are numbered. For my part, I need to put gunky grain into the compost.

That you bought or made?

Bought. Brf pucks were my saving grace.
Had a real rough go at it in the beginning. Couldn't get a plate to germinate for the life of me. Been smooth since, so I don't have much to share. Love hearing peoples stories, though.

My biggest fuckup was the first grow I did. I was increasingly getting more paranoid about possible contamination, and I ended up throwing away a tub which I thought was contaminated with cobweb mold. On my second grow I had the same exact thing happen, but by that time I had a phone with a camera that wasn't garbage, and then an experienced grower told me what I was seeing was primordia. I was mere days away from success.

I use disposable PP5 containers for agar plates and when doing transfers to clean a culture I use a 22g needle.
A little too much into the Captain Morgan today I guess and while doing a transfer I went to cool the red hot needle in the agar with a little too much force. Shoved the thing right through the plate and into my palm.

I pretty much did the same thing first time doing spores to agar.

I’ve been drastically under feeding my agar cultures and making the gel too soft
No wonder all my cultures look wonky until they hit grain (nutrition) then explode
LOL

Here is an APE tub that I ignored a bit. The culture really generates heat which lead to a lot of condensation standing on the caps. I took the lid off for 45 min and it’s dried things back out. Gonna need to keep an eye on it.

Yeah but see the pseudomonas? Hopefully it is checked and won’t eat the whole pinset.

Yeah.. are you attributing the pseudomonas to pooling from the excess condensation? Is drying it out pretty much the only treatment?

Yeah it’s definitely from being too wet. Pseudomonas is generally harmless to cubes unless it’s given conditions that allow it to take over. Getting stuff dried out a touch makes a big difference if you catch it soon enough.

Good to know! I've been studying forest pathology recently and I know Pseudomonas is a pretty big leaf blight pathogen, so it's interesting to hear about it here.
Thanks Pasty!

I was carrying a stack of plates after transfers and dropped a couple and cracked the one I caught in the air. I am sure that scotch tape will be fine, right?
  Tamps btw.

Exactly that. Another hit the ground the agar split a little. Doh!
