Do exotics ever turn blue on agar? I swabbed a samuiensis print and just the center of this germ point is blue. Or am I just growing a pretty lil mold?


EDIT: I did some researching and I think its a type of mold. I'm going to let it keep growing just cause I think it is pretty.

Does anybody have trouble getting enough FAE with these types of lids?



Shoeboxes from target. Can never decide whether to pop the lid and let it just sit on top or snap them and let them be. Or even just pop one side.

How does it look inside? If you think it’s too wet you can always snap it open and see what happens. Everyone’s experience will be slightly different due to climate and other factor. I personally keep the lids snapped on and as long as the coir is properly hydrated things don’t need any attention at all

Was more worried about it just not getting enough air. Not worried about wetness, and dryness shouldnt be an issue since theres condensation on walls and lid.

Hard to tell exactly though as the casing layer isnt fully colonized yet.

Nah don’t worry about air. If it’s not airtight it’s alright

Thought so. My other tubs have done great on subsequent flushes with the lid snapped on. Just trying to get things perfectly dialed.

Does anyone know of a quick reference page that lists a bunch of varieties, their relative potencies, and basic cultivation info like growth speed, need for casing layer, and so on?

Obviously you could go nuts with the details on any one of them... and stuff like potency can vary a lot... but a big picture overview like that would be super helpful if it exists, even with those caveats.

Maybe it doesn't exists because we'd all fight over the summary info, haha.

I heard somewhere that the target brand shoeboxes actually had the best lids for proper FAE as is.. I bought a huge stack, lol. I like that they are shorter than all the other brands by over a 1/2", and was the only cheap 6qt container that would fit in the longer skinnier mono tubs (also found at target, the 100qt ones that fit 4 shoeboxes perfectly!) that I picked out, but without pushing into the walls like the longer lids the sterilite ones have with handle sections do...

I think it would be a little pointless considering factors like genetic variety and most of the processes remaining the same across the board regardless of species.

The main things you need to know when it comes to different species are their preferred temps and what substrate they grow on naturally.

Most of the processes are the same, keep your nutrient rich things sterile and keep your pasteurization temps in range.

I personally would case everything but most cubes and maybe nats
(Gourmet being the exception)

Crab and pineapple with a few sprigs of tulsi and coarse fresh cracked pepper and some red pepper flakes. Maybe some lime juice if the pineapple is sweet. That's if you do it right and the steak is raw or close to it.

Is this cake too dry?  It's 14 days after s2b. Introduced fae 1 day before planned after noticing pins. The cake seems a bit dry to me but I don't want to damage the pins. Should I mist?

If mixing up pre made MEA agar powder, for doing batches of no pours in the IP, does it really need to simmer long enough while stirring to gel up properly first, or can I just mix it right in the measuring cup with boiling water to start with, and then pour it right into the pp5 containers. I'll be using a hand blender btw. Will it still gel up enough when they cool off a bit, at least enough to set in the pot without sloshing around if I skip cooking it a bit longer?

It's gonna boil for almost an hour again while being sterilized anyway right?  Should I mix it in a separate pan with extra heat, then pour into measuring cup, then into the containers? I was hoping I could save time & a mess by skipping that part, and just put boiling water from my portable electric kettle into my new silicone measuring cup. Then pour in the MEA powder and mix it with the hand blender for a minute, and pour directly into the containers, but without actually cooking it as I mix. I won't be working in a kitchen with a stove or microwave, so yeah? :stoned:

This gets argued about plenty. 

Personally i find that simmering in a pan helps homogenize the solution but ive been told that isnt neccessary but when i tried to skip that step it was disastrously sedimenty.

My last run i actuallly simmered while using an emersion blender and it came out really nice. 

Bod always just threw all his shit in a bottle and microwaved it and seemed to have crystal clear plates and I still havent tried that.

personally I think homogenization is ideal but ive been known to make some ugly agar too.

For no pours I just put everything in a pot, bring it to a boil, then pour directly from the pot. The only thing that needs cleaned is the pot, all that touches the measuring cup is water.

Where's the mess?

Same. I rinse the pot in hot tap water, give it a quick boil, dump the water, then wipe any residue with a paper towel. Easy.

Whizzing with an immersion blender helps. Go for a full minute or longer. That made a difference for me. D3’s clear agar tek was illuminating.
