How do I get spores from penis envy’s?

I noticed that my penis envy’s don’t drop spores u like my goldens. How do you collect a spore print from PE’s?

Thanks

I don’t know much about growing but I’m assuming if it’s a strain that doesn’t drop spores you’d have to clone it, right? Now I’m curious if there’s another way.

Never Assume it makes an ass out of u and me

QQ: how does everyone store their dry malt extract? Does it turn to a brick or stay as a powder using your method?

I wasn't paying attention and bought LIQUID LME by mistake. I beat myself up a lot over that mistake, but after reading all the caking comments I feel better .
And yes, liquid is a pain to measure out.

So they do drop spores?

You use swabs.

Derrayld and others answered your question, look into spore swabs as opposed to making conventional spore prints.

Been wanting to upgrade from mini round style no pours for a while, and would like to buy some glass plates.

Are any of the cheap glass petris on Amazon/elsewhere worth the $3-6 a piece, or should I bite the bullet and pay for Pyrex ones? Seems like the cheapies are very hit or miss, where the Pyrex are consistently good.

I make enough waste, and my needs have just never warranted buying hundreds of disposable plates at a time. Might just be a buy once/cry once situation.

If you go glass, buy quality glass. They’re expensive but the cheap ones aren’t reliable. When it comes to gear like that the price tag is there for a reason.

I figured as much. The spendy ones look fuckin sick too

Shout out to boiled potatoes and pp5 sauce containers though, we had some good times together.

About how long from full colonization do you see pins with semperviva?

If I go glass again, I will go smaller. I use the 100mm celtreats and can handle those well enough, but I found the 100mm pyrex difficult to manage. The tops are a fair bit larger than the 100mm bottoms.

don't listen to the haters, the cheap amazon dishes are perfectly acceptable. i've had about 50 or so of them for over 2 years & have only broken a few here & there due to me dropping/mishandling them. iif you can afford the pyrex, by all means buy those, but i haven't seen them much cheaper than $8 a plate anywhere, where as i've seen the cheaper ones for $2 a plate with prime shipping. if any show up broken the company should replace them for you. sure, they'll break if you knock them over, but just be careful with them.if you drop them or smack them around a bunch yeah they might crack/shatter but they aren't gonna just randomly explode sitting on your shelf just because they arent pyrex. i highly recommend using glass dishes as no pours for this reason too; one less chance to fuck things up & knock over a stack of glass. you could get a single pack of the cheaper ones, see how you feel, then order pyrex for the next batch if you feel you need that bump in quality. but even the amazon dishes are a huge upgrade over traditional no pours

glass petris are a bitch to clean if you're a lazy fuck (read: me) & let 40 of them pile up, but if you're disciplined enough to wash dishes you're done with right away & dry em with a microfiber cloth you'll be fine

i have 60mm, 75mm, & 90mm dishes. the 75mm are by far my favorite. i know people on here like their huge ass petris, but like you said the larger glass ones are more difficult to handle. plus, 90mm+ feels like a waste of agar to me. 60mm is just way too small imo. my 75mm dishes fill out quite nicely, they work great for doing general clean up transfers since i'm not waiting for a plate to fully colonize anyway & it's no problem sending a full plate to 7 separate quart jars.
