I can be a little obsessive and meticulous, so I studied and studied until I was sure I had it down. I got a ms syringe grew it out on agar to make sure it was clean, took myc from agar to make LC and then used the LC on rye berry quart jars. Waited for 100% colonization and spawned to 50/50 coir verm with a bit of gypsum and waited.

Awesome. My previous grows also were a couple PFs in the late 90's/early 2000s. But I came back and did the updated PF first. Working out fairly well and my first bulk attempt from mss->agar->grain is in process with agar going and some grain jars colonizing. You are an inspiration. Well done!

Thank you, I appreciate it. I was doubting myself most of the way through and I had to really practice patience. If in doubt search and read until you're sure and then do your best to follow the directions of the growers that know. If we mess up look at it as a lesson learned. Good luck on your project, I hope it turns out well for you.

Nice job, killed it for your first time! I was the same way, just studied and read tons of threads and that can get you far.

Just be sterile, take your time and don't cut corners and you'll do fine. My 2nd tub is starting to pin right now. I'll throw some pics in soon.

Amazing for a first time mono grow!! I’m pretty sure gypsum is outdated info for cubes, but if it works it works I suppose. Congrats!!

 I attempted a no liner because I read a tek that if surface conditions were right you didn't need one. Live and learn, I'll be using a liner from here on out.
