I would. Jars should be close to finishing up in 2 weeks, even with only a little piece of agar.

I just started a new bag. Have a girl coming through in November and I need to get her zooted for first time on shrooms and my supply is getting dangerously low.

Sounds like youre more in need of some RU-486 rather than shrooms

I really think the issue with grain prep is people like me (noobs) go based off time only for proper preparation when we really need to be utilizing it with a visual/physical inspection as well. Perhaps some grains are more user friendly? Sure.

Yeah, yeah.

Definitely the case. I've overcooked wheat many times no issue as long as you dry it all the way. Never really got away with that with oats. Perhaps I never dried them enough.

Where do you buy wheat? Do you have endospore issues with wheat too? I am struggling with bacterial contam I think


At a local feed store.  Ask around and you might be surprised at whats available in the small mom & pop shops.  I get mine for $10 a bag less than the TSC oats and it performs lightyears better.

I'm convinced that the issue I'm having is with the oats I'm using and it's not something else. Idk wtf it is. I buy my oats at TSC. I followed Bod's guide (this is my third try, second try I thought I was being too annoying).

What other grain teks do people use? When I looked for WBS at TSC, all of it had sunflower and cracked corn and peanuts


Lots of people have issues with those producers pride oats. Try a different grain. I suggest pennington classic wbs from petsmart. 24 hour soak 15 minute simmer

Or you can waste months trying to get them to work and never succeed, like I did.


I have no issues with that exact source and grain. Fwiw.

Edit: they do come with lots of crap — and I think I’m going to switch to millet — but I kind of like oats as I’ve had only success with em for the most part. Not perfect but they work.

Are some genetics more contamination-resistant than other ?
A good clone can express traits like good pinset, solid stipe, fast colonization... is contam-resistance a characteristic as well ?

I gathered (from no knowledge or experience, just purporting) that mycelium, even selected for rhyzomorphic growth, can show tomentose growth in grain sometimes. Additionally, there I feel I've read there's no true benefit to one vs the other beyond rhyzomorphic is prettier and more easily distinguishable as your mycelium vs contam.

To reiterate my supposition, one isn't better than the other, just easier to read. No clue if thats true true, but I've been fine in my several grows with tomentose boys.


Thanks for the input

I would imagine that some genetics could be better at fighting off contams with metabolites. It's not something people really test for, and it would be hard to test.  I think it's easier to just get clean spawn.

Speed is the only real genetic trait that will help with contam resistance.

I'm sorry for the repost but don't want to throw away good agar plates (or inoculate grain with bad ones)

Do these plates look clean ?

Or is the uneven growth an indication of something hidden ? It is Transfer nr7 made of a very clean looking culture (more even growth than this) I thought just to make one more transfer just to be sure..









Thanks for the help .

I guess the features are a little uneven, but the overall growth is very even.

I'm also interested in what TCs would say about that.

You can definitely get fruits from worse agar than that, so I'm sure it's plenty good enough to use.  Whether or not it's perfect is what I don't know.

mmmm oh I've ran worse than that but I've gotten much more picky. To me it looks like something is hidden. There was this discussion about "enmeshed" bacteria that had me thinking I should buy a microscope. But until that time I really like to have perfect plates

Thanks for all your input, if you all aren't certain about it, I'll keep on transferring. They vaguely made me think about these LocN9ne's plates from the hidden contams thread.



I probably have to do g2g after this so I rather be safe than sorry..

Thanks!🙏🏼✨

Quick agar question, total noob. If I order pre poured plates (malt extract), how long can I expect them to be good for kept in which conditions? If I grow mycelium successfully on agar, how long can I expect that to stay healthy, and is there anything in particular I can do to make them last? Thanks

Any idea about what's going on with the top right side of this tub. At first I thought it was just drying out so a Misted that area once or twice. But now it's looking bacterial.

depends on how thick.  pre poured plares are always paper thin.  i find them to be shit quality.

i pour like 1/4" thick and they last months.  many months.
