I didn't realize swabs were such a pain in the ass to germ from... I made my most recent batch of agar on the softer side... hoping that'll help my next attempt... im feeling your pain, peeps!

Ape is notorious, this is the first of 6 swabs to have germed for me so I'm keen to save that little spec of myc.

Day 9 for three of the tubs. They look alright. Not much more growth since the other day, but it is APE after all. Took the mp tape off the 1/16” holes around the tubs. Glad I have other projects going on

Got it - no need to case these bad boys. It's difficult to find much information on them. Thanks, guys.

T1 has grown out quite uneven. Hoping there isn't any underlying contam. I know there is a water drop on the surface from lid condensation dripping down, that hasn't grown any (yet....)
Low photo quality from cheap no-pour containers.
Going to split this one up into several T2's tonight.

Don't mess around with questionable culture specimens, these take a while as it is so anything sub par is a no-no.

To be honest I cant remember. I'm pretty sure it was early on and like 3 or so transfers from spore plate. I know my planet was a clone at least, same one I still got going.

Ya, I read your planet grow log a while back, fucking cool. One of the coolest novelty grows I've seen. I've just got lift-off from one of roars swabs so here comes the long wait

Just learned about this thread. Major hype thanks roar.
Currently I have:
One mono 10 days from spawn:
A bunch of plate pin clones, looking from decent to good so far on agar:
And a bunch of somewhat but not hopefully not overly bacterial spawn:
Couple questions:
Anything I need to do differently to APE in a mono vs regular cube varieties? I just upped the FAE a bit and will likely be misting more often, depending on how much I decide to up the FAE. But otherwise can I just let it rock and keep surface conditions good?
How common are plate pins for APE? I had a bunch on my germination plates that I cloned, they didn't look exactly like normal pins but were undoubtedly little white blobs lol.
Cheers and gl to everyone else here.

Lenz, that tub looks great. Far better than what I’ve got going on. I didn’t do a top layer at spawn but I’m not sure it would of helped me. Thinking I’m dealing with something bacterial. I’ll let the pros answer all your questions since everything I’ve been doing lately has put me into feeling like a total noob again haha! Def keep us updated on that mono win or lose

Looking back on photos of the spawn, all but one jar looked bacterial. Thanks to p9hu7’s clean spawn checklist for the insight and keeping me humbled. Thought, well it smelled good! Now I know, classic mistake. I cut a few corners on my pc cycle, and I’m pretty sure that’s what got me. I will let the tubs sit for a while, as I don’t need them right away and see if something can fight it’s way through for clone material. Now I see why it was taking FOREVER for the jars to colonize.
Reposting the pic of spawn... I can now clearly see issues based on p9hu7’s checklist. Sparse uncolonized grain, wet spots etc. IMO the RK APE 3 reg mouth looked the best and should have been spawned separately. The 2’s were always days behind and should have been tossed. If mushrooms have taught me anything, whether in cult or the experience they give, it’s to LET GO haha!
Excited to see everyone else’s grow, and hopefully the checklist can help shed some light on people in the same position I was in.

I'll use this post as my grow log. I'll get them on agar later today.

Delivered today. Thanks, roarkell !!! you're a legend. I will get to work later today.
What's the consensus then? you guys seem to be scraping a piece off and burying some of the tip (just the tip mind and only for a minute). Probably going to try a bit of everything tbh.
The agar I have poured right now is 2% light malt with a bit of yeast, a pinch of gypsum and a whiff of rye flour.

It took awhile and is nothing to brag about, but I just had the first pin yesterday. This was BRF to coir so that is why the color of the sub is sort of crazy.
