So one of my Pf jars had pinned early and i thought it's a good idea to top fruit it as seen in Bod's easy AF cheapest way to get started by yourself no need for a pressure cooker.



I have a question though.

When adding new verm, should i pour so much that it fills the gaps between cake and jar or only put some on the top on the actual cake?

The pic shows a verm layer only on top of the cake but this feels kinda wrong.

Whats the pitfalls of WBS and what do you want to avoid? I feel like it was high concentration of corn or sunflower seeds. I feel like there's something to avoid. Thanks.


I'd also agree about several good washes. If you can, avoid the brands with a lot of cracked corn. Those are still usable, but the corn tends to make things starchier in my experience. As for the sunflower seeds, there's no need to remove them.

because its the wrong rock for the job.

verm expands and works like a sponge perlite is all rocky and holds water in little pools.

its colonizing leave it alone. make sure it can breath and its not all tape shut or in the dark or anything like that.

Pearlite does not retain much water, it's more for drainage and aeration.

The lid is flipped right-side up right now with he handles up for a little GE and just put a 5000k LED light on top. All the holes are taped as I fucked up the placement so running it unmodified atm

Just posting this again:

Question about plating:

1. I had issues with contamination with my oat grain so I plated fresh spores
- I plated my Penis Envy spores which I had (several months old, January 2023) as well as old Golden Teachers which I had (several years old). I plated 6 plates each of the two
- Only 1/6 of the Penis Envy plated. The remaining plates for both the PE and GTs are empty... is this normal? The growing plate looks normal but I am planning to sector and isolate over the next several weeks

- Several weeks ago I made plates. The plates I did not use, I just left in the SAB
- I ended up purchasing new Penis Envy Uncut and Golden Teachers because I thought maybe these won't grow
- Yesterday, I plated PEU and GTs on the remaining plates I left in my SAB. I have no growth but I also think it's unreasonable to think that I will get growth in one day?

- How long are the spore syringes (which I purchased from Sporeworks) good for? Where should I store them?

Thank you

I'd expect to see growth after about a week with spores. A day or two would be unreasonable. You can use softer agar to get better spore germination as well. You can also make some pf tek and clone the fruits to agar.

Syringes are good for quite some time. There have been numerous cases of people finding syringes inside a drawer that they had forgotten about for like 5-10 years. They work fine.

You can do short term storage at room temp. For long term, I recommend a fridge but who knows how much of a difference it really makes. Just a cool dark place Ideally.

Been tearing my hair out trying to fight the ol' green monster. I'm no noob, I've been cultivating with great success for 4 years now, but I'm truly stumped right now. So I'm swallowing my ego and asking for help.

Culture on agar looks perfectly clean, but I usually transfer again to another plate just to be sure. Grain jars look and smell perfectly clean and I wait a few days after it is fully colonized to spawn. Coir is properly pasteurized (I've even tried PCing it out of desperation). Everything looks fine and the substrate fully colonizes with healthy and fast growth. Then BAM, green spot pops up out of nowhere.

I just dumped my 4th tub in a row. It has happened too often to be bad luck; clearly something is wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Is it the same culture? Enmeshed contamination that is pretty much invisible has been the bane of many a cultivator. If it's different cultures, you must be doing something new.

Does anybody know any good links off hand you could share with me about testing LC on agar and what they look like when they are contaminatedโ€ฆI mean..some are obviousโ€ฆIโ€™m pretty new still tho and itโ€™s really hard to tell sometimes..Iโ€™ve been using a syringe and dropping a few drops of LC on the middle of the plate. Of course the LC kinda swishes all over the plate and I end up getting little colonies of myc all over. I used an inoculation loop on my last test and I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m going to go back to syringes ever. Much easier. But I still have about 20 plates filled with LC Iโ€™m testing and some I really just canโ€™t tell. Some are growing nothing at all so I was assuming that was a good thing and I only got the liquid not the actual mycelium chunk onto the agar..which I was assuming meant my liquid around the myc isnโ€™t contaminated if nothing is growing. Everything growing is white lol. I just want some reference pics of LC on agar of what itโ€™s not supposed to look like haha

What grain are you using? I've come across some who have had problems with oats for example.

It's mostly cultures derived from the same swab. I did get contam in a tub from a different culture but it looked a bit bacterial in the jar anyway.

I don't think trich or penicillium spores would be able to stay undetected in agar and grain, though? Surely they would germinate, spread, and sporulate by then? I do have a theory that there is some other embedded contamination that weakens the mycelium to the point that other contamination like trich can overtake the mycelium. But the mycelium spreads so quickly and strongly, so it's hard to imagine that it is being weakened.

Brown rice. I've used it for a while now and it never gave me trouble in the past.

Better for Beginner: Monotub or Martha Tent [Re: Nichrome]
    #28311657 -

Hi friends, sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm a first time grower (long time user) and I'm trying to figure out what setup I should go for. In terms of potency, is there a major difference between the two options, or can you achieve a similar level of potency regardless of your growing method? I understand that Martha tents give you the ability to grow larger batches and have multiple strains growing at once, but those aren't really concerns of mine at the moment. For this first grow I'm more interested in just getting some potent shrooms that get the job done. Would anybody be able to advise me as to what direction I should go?
