Fuck, I see what you're talking about and it had to have been me because the subject didn't change until one of my posts. Sorry about that. I'm not sure how I did that but it should be fixed now lol.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and with how many people are expressing issues with swabs and germination, I wanna try swabbing dehydrated fruits to see if that might help eliminate some of the contamination issues... its just the start of an idea so don't burn me at the stake here... lol
I had some bacterial issues with my swabs, but it absolutely could be user error. My cleanest swabs have all come from fruits I grow in bags. Open/harvest/swab in front of the hood and then let 'em dry for an hour or so with the hood running. Might be overkill, but it works real well for me.

Damn... I think that if someone quotes a post that had the blank subject its gonna keep going back to that unless the person replying changes the subject back to what it should be before the post is submitted. We're gonna have to be vigilant. π

Plz let us know how the swabbing of dried fruits goes but I have to say that dehydrator air blowing all over the gills canβt be better than swabbing and waiting a week or more to dry out the bacteria if thereβs any. Do you guys rinse your swabs in sterile water before streaking? Those two things seem to help me when I make spore solution from my swabs

despite knowing I probably should, I'm always too lazy to get sterile water into a syringe but have had good luck since switching to super soft agar for swabs. I used to go through swabs and get nothing but now I get germination on like half my plates at least

Wait a week or more? Are you talking SAB? My swabs seem to do just fine with some time in front of the hood. Then I'll just slip em back into the sleeve and close em up with micropore tape.

Well I donβt use a SAB or hood, so I just throw them back into the sleeve right away and wait at least a week to use em... been working out. Thatβs how Iβm getting my crosses. Your way sounds legit 
Have you tried germinating those PE swabs I sent ya?

That's what I keep asking...hydrating the swab/spores.
But ya, I'm gonna try softer agar.
6g 1.3% Agar, 6g LME, 450ml no color 1/20
But I'm out of swabs, so that'll have to wait.
There's just one little hopefull piece left, all the other
plates have contamed out.
Certainly a learning curve to swabbing and me being an old swabby!

I'll give thise a shot. I've had such bad luck streaking swabs in the past that I usually just go straight to the nuclear option and jam 'em directly into the agar

Made up some sub this morning for 6qts of the APE that are ready. Iβm following Fahts 16qt PE tubs for these.
RK APE 3 in the wide mouth is the one that was looking slightly off from the rest but now Iβm not sure. Iβm just going to spawn them all either tonight or tomorrow. 2 myco qts per tub staying with their numbered counterparts.
The RK APE 2βs were shook on the 31st and are coming around. Theyβve been lagging behind the entire process.

First signs of germination today, 9 days after using swab.
The first two plates I rubbed/streaked with swab. Nothing yet.
Third plate I cut off a very small piece, finally turning white around the edges.

Swab sprouting. This is day 3 on agar. Looks great.
