dude for 5 days you look great. LITFA. could still be bacterial but i’m not seeing anything concerning. congrats on sick genetics


I should still wait for this spot to colonize before adding the casing?


i usually just do a compressed top layer at spawn for PE so i'm not sure. i think you're fine to case but i'd double check that with some searches on here

Dude totally gonna make some more jars tonight and try it out. I think I’ve been overthinking unmodded lids.


I do unmoded lids also, but with an SFD sandwiched between the lid and jar rim. The only difference is you can tighten them down and still get clean GE.


I don’t have any SFD…I’ve been using syringe filters…so I think I’m just gonna take the seal out of it and go straight unmodded for this batch. I’ve actually never used SFD…a friend showed me syringe filters years ago and I thought it was the best way so I started using them for LC…I’m having contam issues and I’m really not sure what it is…but what I’ve been doing isn’t working all the time so might as well try something new

I’m assuming I would do the same thing with agar correct? Except instead of LC use agar of course lol

If you take the syringe filters out, is there not a hole left in your lid?

it'll work totally fine without the SFD

LC could be contaminated tbh. i'm sure you have by now, but have you been testing on agar?

came across this tek for using SHIPs. faht doesn't open anything really so he's almost exclusively using SHIPs from what i understand. if you feel like the actual inoculation through the syringe filter is giving you issues, this might be a fun thing to try out. but it's more likely the culture i'd guess. hard to say

Yea I learned the hard way to def test your LC haha. Won’t make that mistake again. And I have been. Of course I’m new still but I don’t see any signs of contamination. I mean a few of them yea and they got discarded and remade and retested. I’m actually inoculating through the SHIP and was using the syringe filter for GE. So I basically have 2 holes in my lid. One for the SHIP and one for the syringe filter. They are all sealed up with high temp RTV. I mean syringe filters DO work. I’ve used them for years and have had successes. But I’m not 90% successful even right now. Probably closer to 50%. I don’t know…I do have wbs steeping in water right now tho haha. Gonna try out a batch of 10 jars with unmodded lids. And to the previous comment. Yes it would leave a hole but I have brand new ones also that I haven’t drilled any holes through yet that I was going to use for the unmodded ones.

Edit. What about LC jar lids? Do unmodded on that as well? Let it grow and once it’s done tighten down the lid and refrigerate?

I’m also not sure why I’ve been so determined to make my  SHIP and syringe filter work…I guess cus it’s what I’ve been used to. I’ve had like 4-5 people throughout my shroomery adventures recommend I stop using them and go unmodded…I’m usually really good about taking people advice and going for it…not sure why I’m being so stubborn. Im wanting to change now tho. I really like my SHIPs…they are just easy for me…and they never seemed to be an issue really…but something is the issue…and i can’t keep doing the same thing expecting different results.

you can do unmodded for LC but i prefer using polyfil or another type of filter. no real reason i guess i just like having the lid down tight for LC. just leave em on the shelf unless you're trying to store them for a few months at a time

Why does polyfil freak me out so bad? I feel like it’s just not enough haha. I mean plenty of people use it..I feel like I wouldn’t be able to get it tight enough…I guess I could continue using my syringe filters for LC. I usually only fill a jar up 1/4 to 1/3 up so there’s plenty of air in the jar also. I haven’t seemed to run into issues of GE in my LC…it’s always something different..last one I fucked up I know exactly what I did haha.

Skip the hole. If you use an entire SFD like that, the hole is unnecessary.

So that gap that the SFD makes between the lid and the jar is what will give you the GE and also filter the air?

Exactly. That’s what I do, but I use unmodded one piece plastic lids.

Can I put a colonized monotub in the fridge, and stall it like a jar, until I'm ready to fruit?

Yes. I do this with shoe boxes at 7°C.

I don't like skipping the hole. The hole is multipurpose.

I use those lids with that exact design.

I spawned a mini monotub and realized I have no idea how long it'll take for it to pin/fruit 😅

It's comparable in spawn amount to a shoebox, 1L WBS spawn & 2L coir with verm with a 1L coir pseudocasing layer. How long would it take for something like that to start getting some pins/mushrooms? A few days? A few weeks? Over a month?



It's taking me all my will power to not look at it every hour lol :dizope:

Ratio of 1:2 it’s possible you’d see fruit in 2 weeks.
Maybe 3.
