I’ve been having great pin sets recently. But about 50% of them are aborting. Why is this happening? I’m guessing I’m not using enough grain when I s2b? It’s driving me nuts. I’d rather have a nice healthy flush than a half aborted canopy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :thumbup:

Could be genetic or moisture related.
I had a pe6 culture that 100% aborted regardless what I did.

Often it's as a result of the substrate not having sufficient moisture to support the pin set.
Bottom water can help this bit not always.

Thanks for the reply! I thought the field capacity was sufficient In this last tub. It’s nutcracker and it seems to be growing exceptionally slowly with about 50% of pins aborting. It’s probably just me. :shrug:

Maybe it’s just a second flush sort of guy.

During SAB work? Of course not. Otherwise it doesn’t really matter too much.

next time I build a SAB its going to be made of wood and plexi glass with a build in dimmable LED light strip. my sterilite is much better than the first I ever made but its very small :tongue: ive decided laminar flow hoods are not worth the money atm

leds make quite a bit of heat.  heat makes currents. this is not advisable unless its clear outside of the sab.

good idea I would mount the led's on the outside of the plexiglass lid that hinges down to the wood frame.

I dont know how people use CAD software. I used to use blender and Ive since forgotten all the keybinds. Will be designing using good old fashioned grid paper and pencil

what if I put circular sheet of silicon over the arm hole, cut the sheets with relief cuts towards the center so my arms can press through. that would be a good sealed barrier and not create a tight vacuum/glove box

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and also a beginner in mushroom cultivation.
I started inoculating my substrate two weeks ago, and there's already some progress.
I've noticed something and I'm not sure if it could potentially cause problems.
There is water accumulating at the top of my container, which I believe is condensation.
My containers are placed inside a wooden box, with about 3-4 cm of space between the heating mat and the bottom of the containers, all maintained at a constant 25 degrees Celsius.
Oh, and my wooden box is also inside an aluminum case.

Read the guide he posted, essentially you shouldn't grow in the dark in a sealed box with a heating mat.
That's all wrong for starters.

Are no pour agar portion cup plates reusable?

I'm using pp5 lids and containers and get near zero warping on the first cycle.  What warping I do get I attribute to pressure (I don't bother with GE holes).

Mosty concerned about how much garbage I produce if I don't reuse them.  Sitting on like 500 containers and lids.

At the same time I'd hate to melt one and end up with a mess of agar in my PC.

In the first place with a SAB, if your holes are too small you can create a plunging action when you put your arms in and take them out.  I think you would end up with the same problem.  I think it's best to just have something to cover the holes when you're not using it.  I just use the plastic from a sheet protector and some tape, but I'm sure you can find a more elegant solution.

If it's all polypropylene then they are fine in the PC.  If they are thin they may eventually deform a little, but use them until you're not satisfied with them any more.

What are the ideal fruiting conditions for Psilocybe Mexicana? I can't really find any specifics on what the rh should be and how much fresh air they prefer. Should they be fruited in conditions similar to panaeolus species or do they perform better in conditions similar to cubes? Or somewhere in the middle?

Somewhere in the middle.  They like it warm like cubes but more fae.  Similar humidity did fine but I got a lot of very leggy fruits from lake of fae.

I'm pretty high I hope that makes sense.  As much fae as you can get and like 90% humidity for fruiting.  Mist to keep humidity higher during pinning probably would work.

Are you putting them in a growtent or a tub?

I've used pp5 portion cups and lids before with mixed success. The good thing is even if the lids did get sucked down to the cups while cooling in the PC they never spilled into the PC itself. I switched back to Holy grail plates after noticing more contamination in the portion cups. I am not sure if it was from moisture trapped around the ring of the lid would get shattered when removing the lid, or needing to leave the lids offset while PC'ing so they didn't form a vacuum and implode. Also though they do survive a few PC cycles, they eventually became more fragile and ended up cracking as I removed the lids.

Tree frog. In the process of building a greenhouse designed with pans in mind but was hoping I could grow Mexicana in there too. Maybe try to place them in a spot with a little less fae. I have both species on agar right now and I'm about to put them to grain and while colonizing I need to finish the greenhouse which I already have framed. Thanks for answering my question btw.
