Here it is: Not bad for MS to BRF to coir. I swabbed the snot out of 3 of the biggest fruits so I can do agar transfers to oats in the future. I want to get to a point where they all fruit at once instead of over the course of a few days or weeks. Anyway, I just pulled around 280g from a mini tub. At this point in the game, I will take it.

I see those retro consoles! nice lineup.
My roar plates are heavy on the contam side at the moment although I opened a couple of prints in the SAB before swabbing the APE so that may be to blame. Just waiting for that spec of myc to get things moving.

My swabs didn't make it, oh well. I really seem to be shit with swabs.
Anyone have tips? I rubs a couple plates fucking hard, the use tweezers to jam little tufts of cotton into the agar.
Then I jam the whole thing in...

I have little experience with swabs, but I think you just described the best method. All I've done so far is just streak a Z pattern. So far, it's worked with MM, PE, and Ghost. There's weren't many colonies from any of these varieties though so I'll see what they even produce once fruited. No luck with this APE yet, so I'm gonna try pulling apart the cotton and burying it like you described. Trying to finish up some other projects first so I have the plates available.
Would love if others chimed in with other useful methods. I wouldn't mind trying a few to make sure I get growth

I slice the tip of the swab into four pieces with the scalpel then bury the slices into the surface of the plate. Hasn't failed me yet.

Ok, I can't visualize how you do it. Can you describe a bit more.
I've been thinking since the swab is "one and done", I would have a small amount of sterile water, stick the swab in and stir it up. Then innoc boo coo plates!

Think of it like you want to use a knife to sharpen a pencil. The swab strands are wrapped all the way around so make vertical cuts before you try to shave the pieces off. The center of the swab is hard due to the stick being there so only try to cut the soft outer part. I get lots of contam when trying this. Small pointed scissors works better for me to cut the littlest pieces off the tip.
Or just check out the video from this thread: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27136582#27136582

My T1, showing some nice rhizo. I don't often get rhizo on my plates. Kinda novel for me.

Nothing makes me happier than a plate that looks like that (well of course except the entire plate looking like that with no contam.That is the apex of "hell yeah"). It makes me happier than a good harvest because I know that I have a great chance at a nice harvest when I see those fingers! The more I get into this the more I like the process more than the harvest. I may try my hand at Oyster, Reishi, or Lion's Mane.

Looks good! I have some little clusters of knots starting to show up. I almost tossed the tubs a while back. Kept them around till I absolutely need them or they throw some green. Spawned on the 12th of feb and no green so it’s most likely slightly bacterial. Only one tub has pushed out the smallest dot of metabolites. So they aren’t as bad as I had originally thought. The sub has shrunk quite a bit. If/when they flush I will have to bottom water.

Isn't it 4/6 weeks to pin with these? It's a long stint, I imagine spawn has to be on point to go the duration.

That’s the word on the street. Hence why they will be tossed if I need the tubs or I see green/overactive metabolites. But for now they’re doing way better than anticipated and are away from my main grow space. 3 weeks is tomorrow and I just noticed the smallest knots forming. Will probably see the first pin in a week.

Thanks Dal, no I haven’t tried them. Got my ass handed to me with Melmak. Probably the closest to ape I’ve had.
Roar, you must have got a great culture right off the bat. Lucky!

4-6 weeks would be crazy long.
I think around 3 weeks is pretty typical.

So I’m seeing knots at just under 3 weeks. Not too many but hopefully one of the clusters develops and I can grab a clone to work with. We’ll see what happens. I will post pics if/when there are pins
