So I got a culture of Jack the Ripper (JF x Albino Riptide) and it colonized grain slowly. I spawned to a shoebox on 6/17 in 3.5:1 CVG with another half quart pseudo casing. It still hasn't colonized through the top today and I'm wondering why. Should I be concerned?

---

Still looking for input on this.

---

I had a Jack Frost tub that never really colonized the top and put out pins a month after spawn. I had pretty much counted the tub as a goner and a month later I got fruit

Probably no real answer to this, but the edges of my shoeboxes (not sterilite, off brand, ) always dry up first while the center is still wet. I can try to selectively mist just the edges but it works only kinda so-so since I need to get up close and I lose the fine mist effect.

I always get funky stressed myc drying up at the edges, and that's always where the knots first appear.

Wat do

Tape em shut, couple strips outta do it.


Some smaller tubs work best stacked up, i used to throw a book on the top of the stack to weigh the last one down.

I know I can fit 10 jars in a presto23, but can you fit 10 in a AA 21.5qt?

Thanks

According to ozzysmygod on this thread, the AA21 can hold 10 jars. I don't have one to verify though. And they also say the AA930 can't hold more jars than the AA21, even though the AA930 holds 14 jars.

Thanks

Do you not use a trivet? I use one maybe 5" off the ground & just above water level & can fit 7 1L /1Qt jars max. I thought it necessary to keep them out of water.

Not true? ..would be cool to fit an extra 3 each cycle as long as I'm not compromising

The stock one on the bottom.

Ah shit, should have specified that I'm getting this once I unlatch the lids for more fae. If I keep them closed for more than say a week, the surface beads get too big and I have pools on the sides from the water running down the plastic or from falling off the lid.

So I'm kind of stuck between either letting the edges get too dry or making the center too wet. I'm exaggerating a little bit, I can get the mist to mostly land on the edges but it's kinda janky.

Do they sell micro fine spray misters lol

QQs:
Is Melmak as potent as PE?
How much more potent is than let's say GT or B+?
Is it significantly harder to grow Melmak than "normal" cubes?

---

Melmac can be pretty potent. Potency depends on many factors. Genetics for 1 can give you a bum potency, a melt your face genetic, or somewhere in between. So far they have never given me weak fruits.
Growing then is easier then PE since it rarely blobs, and doesn't require a casing. It takes a bit longer to grow then cubes but same conditions since it is a cube. So not harder just a longer wait. They usually dwarf other cubes. The Mac TP I was growing averaged +50g wet for each fruit. Get a good canopy and imagine you yield. These were my last ones each weighed over 60g wet. Mac 118


Melmac is the OG PE. SWPE was an isolation from melmac. Over all I love melmac. It was the 3rd variety I grew after Amazon, and b+. And it blows gt and b+ away!

Any reason why I shouldn't use 4 mycoquarts of grain that I hydrated and have been in the fridge in their quart jars since Sunday?

Leave em clipped and put a small fan in the room. Point it away not directly at them, the extra airflow will help the subs dry a little more.

What they look like?

This is fresh out of the fridge with the condensation from the outside of the jar wiped onto my shirt. I took them out of the fridge and shook them 2-3 days ago to redistribute moisture but did not shake them before this pic
