Quick questions:

1. Is this too much water and if so should I wipe the walls with a paper towel?

2. Should the lid be cracked like it is in the pic or just flipped upside-down evenly on top?

3. Will little cups of vinegar keep fungus gnats away?





1. No.

2. I would go upside down even. Very easy to go too dry. 

Never had gnats, sorry.

I know that apple cider vinegar is used for fly traps that I think also work for fungus gnats. In that case I feel they can be counterproductive because they end up attracting the gnats close to your tubs.

Around here something people do to drive gnats away is cutting a lemon in half amd sticking a bunch of cloves in them and keep them on the counter for a couple of weeks. I did this but I dunno how effective it is.

Kind of a dumb question:

When dropping agar to grain jars using a scalpel or knife, how do you do it cleanly? I feel like I'm missing a third hand. What do you do with the jar lid? If the agar is sticking to the container how do you take it off? How do you unstick it from the scalpel to drop it into the jar?

😅

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to throw some apple cider vinegar away from the tub by the entrance points of my house and I'm grabbing lemons today. Appreciate the help!!

For a single wedge it's relatively simple:

- Loosen jar lid
- One hand opens the petri lid, other hand takes the wedge, put lid back
- Open jar lid, put scalpel over jar opening, do the magic movement that drops the wedge
- Close lid.

:laugh:

I usually flip the scalpel upside down and do a flick of the wrist, like push towards the grain and the snap it back out, it should fall off.  Or just flick it downwards. Sometimes it doesnt fall off and you just flail like an idiot thinking about all the contam you are putting in the jar (did that exact same thing a few hours ago when I tried to take multiple wedges on the scalpel in one go)

Just use the edge of the jar, should be sterile since it's been covered with the lid and you'll put less of the scalpel over your jar.

You might run into the problem of agar sticking to the sides though but I've found the best way to get it moved down into the grain is to hit the bottom firmly against your hand in a downward motion. They'll slide down a bit with each hit.

Momentum and all that. Like hitting the breaks hard in your car and going froward in your seat

Hi there I just got done with removing my main mushrooms from my first flush about week ago, I left the immature mushrooms and pins to develop more but I'm not seeing much growth, should I just clear up all these pins and soak my substrate to get ready for my second flush?  Or is there potential for them to grow? Thank you!! First photo is from my first flush on May 14th, the new photo is today on May 19th.


Thank you! I'm a new grower and urgent help is appreciated.

Do you wrap it, then put the lid on, like a sandwich… or put the lid on and wrap over the top and bottom together?


You close the lid and wrap the edge.

Like this :




Amazing, just what I need to know!

Ok, next question is, do I really need a sterile scalpel, or can I get an Xacto knife with the triangular blades which is cheaper and all metal?

Had to pluck a couple early today, my dehydrator I thought worked didn't. Won't be until tomorrow or the next day until I get one. Can I store my fruits in the fridge until then?

I use an Xacto with #11 blades, cheap unbranded units at that.  They get uncomfortably warm after a few flames when doing multiple transfers, so I use two and switch when one gets too hot.

Can I vacuum seal scalpels, syringes, and needles to sterilize in a PC? Or does the moisture from the steam need to reach the surface of the item? If not vacuum sealed, will wrapping loosely in foil then sealing it after it’s cooled work??
