On agar, I'd agree with that statement. When you've got contam on a substrate surface, that would be a different story IMO. Some you need to toss the bin and burn your house. Some you just keep an eye on.

But generally, it's because they are noobs. You were a noob too at one point.

I was more so wondering if multiple popular vendors were all using the same source for something as ubiquotous as B+

Those little fuckers look tree stumps. How are they in terms of potency?

Which… do you need to burn your house/bin over?

Okay, kind of an exaggeration

But anything that sporulates you definitely want to remove from the room immediately in my opinion.  Anything bacterial is generally not a huge deal.

Can hoogshagenii be spawned to plain coir/ verm or does it need additional nutes?

Inoculated same agar dish with left over MAZ and RW prints. Will I get a variation of the two or will they come out normal? Please and thank you.

Heres a quote from RogerRabbit that might help you

Quote:

If you want to cross two strains(I'm using 'strain' in the sense it's usually used here, that is naming a print and calling it a strain), simply print one cap right on top of the print left by another cap.  By then using the resultant print, it would be nearly impossible to not get several crosses.  You'd want to do it on agar and isolate the strains as they differentiate, carefully labeling each one.  when you fruit them, you'll be able to tell which is a cross or not, provided you used two distinctly different parents.

Giving your question a bit of a bump, since I don't know the answer but would be interested. I haven't even seen this strain offered by many vendors, though I know that Semperviva is a variant.

I would assume then that it would favour the same conditions as Semperviva, but would like to know from someone with more experience. This is a strain that I'd really like to grow myself too, given it's fascinating history.

Proposition 122 said:

I can't even grow contams!

In my effort to track down why things are not working I reconciled myself to the fact I have to learn agar To eliminate the possibility of me making bad agar i purchased pre-made agar plates off the internet. I inoculated one with Penis Envy (LC Syringe), another with Golden Teacher (spore syringe), and left the other open to the air for one minute as a control.

Since NOTHING grew, including contams, I suspect the agar is bad/non-existent/corrupt. Would that be the right conclusion? Should I try again with different agar? What next?

EDIT: stored at a consistent 70-degrees, intermittent light.

They should dry out in about 12 hours or so

After browsing the forum a little bit more i found several posts suggesting that you should let the print dry for at least 24 hours.

Are you sure that 12 hours is sufficient?

---

Smellyhobbit said:

12 hours is probably fine. 24 hours is DEFINITELY fine.

---

As Smellyhobbit answered, 12 is good and dry and 24 would be +12 hours more dry
12-24 is what you'll always find mentioned.  After you've removed the cap and placed a cover back over to dry, then you're good to close the foil up at 12 or so if you want.
If you have time and don't mind waiting then 24 hours would be 100% dried as opposed to maybe 95%? 
All just a general guesstimate of course, I find them dry often before 12 hours too, this all may depend on print size, dark/thickness, and general humidity in that room too.

It's fun to identify stuff growing on plates.
