B positive 3

 B+ LC injection into 5 pounder, day 1 I didn't even want to do another tub, I wanted to focus on one at a time but got pressured into a second run. Meanwhile the lc arrived by post and sat in the box for 20 minutes after drop off, the registered temp out side is 4 degrees fahrenheit. When I was handed the parcel it was super cold to the touch. The syringe still had fluidity and a bubble would easily go up when flipped. The contained mycelium would move within the suspension when agitated. I didn't even bother taping off the rubber port like I typically do, not sure if even needed for "self sealing port". Im mad at myself for giving into doing another run, and ordering biological supplies when a freezing artic blast of air sits over the territory. I don't really care if this successfully grows out. There's sterility, there's passive cleaning prep, there's laziness, there's rawdoggin it, and finally there's straight up malfescense. About the only other thing I could of done was soaked it in the toilet, the dog was curious, I figured what can it hurt. Not sure if the barrel in the bag is visible, oh yeah be positive

Lol , did you shoot that whole Lc in :P . You could of just saved it in fridge.
The lc might have frozen, Lc and mss aren't as forgiving to freezing temps. Spore prints are safe. Ya i would of waited till this artic weather passes for most the northern world in next couple weeks.
Currently have my own Too much spawn too many tubs moment. I Recently got gifted unemployment so I decided to do a "few grows" 17lbs of dry grain later lol..... I don't even have enough coir lol. Got 5lbs dry for 25 lbs of spawn left to go ... You can always dry and store. I've been just giving out to people i barely know :P. Never know how you can make a casual acquaintances day lol.

Hello Silentraindrops, yes it was all shot in, till the plunger bottumed out. Had quit a bit of mycelium too, about 4 C's worth. I've seen people complain about the quantity in barrels but this one was mucho thick. I'm pretty sure it got frozen killed, the barrel and plunger were frigid in me bare hand. Also in the PNW, it's freaking cold out. The only thing I hate about the winter here is we have to put the cats shit box in the house, they won't go outside. Come spring I pitch that nasty thing and they go outdoors to relieve themselves.

Raw doggin' it would be a step up in the world. This straight up consisted of feces germs and my hairy assistant 🐕🦺 lol. Thanks for the upvote, not sure what it means? I'm almost at a 2 year membership and just added a avatar last month. Still figuring this out

it's the freezing that kills it I believe. Cold is ok so long as it isn't frozen.

This is from the same vendor that got my hands on a my current run lc (PE). That stuff is going great and it didn't have half the amount of suspended mycelium. This one was pretty fat and have no doubt if it wouldn't of gotten deep freezed it would of been explosive, who knows maybe something will come of it, b positive. Disregard, someone edited previous
Silentraindrops, I forgot to add, bravo for comping folks. Your good gesture will come around to you. I want to give away shroomy chocolates and lc in the future.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better! 
Edit: not trying to rag on you funfarm. I think your techniques are wild, but I really do hope to see you succeed.

Hello AndImTheHighOne, why thank you much. The following is not directed at you, just pointing something in general out. I feel guilty as to how the mycology game has changed drastically over time. For example just the use of the internet for reference and learning, the ability to order prepped grains or substrate, down to ordering spores or lc via e-commerce. How about those old timers, the saltier growers, people registered on this very site for over 20 years. When spores had to be acquired thru the back of a high times magazine, you had to clip out a add and send in cash. People where forced to make their own spawn and sub, if you had questions... Forget about it, you had to go to the public library and check out a book. I have taken advantage of the technology, what it offers, and was not ever made to learn, bypassing the learning curve and hard work required to succeed. It's a sham that someone with no experience (like me) with a debit/credit card, internet access, and literally only a few dollars in Walmart supplies can successfully grow shrooms. It's not at all what it was like for cultivators of yesteryear, like it is today. I point the finger at myself, I'm the guiltiest. To be honest, it's a slap in the face of any old time grower, with what I do. I mean hell I push goo into a bag, modify a storage tote, spread horse shit in that tub, and whammo shrooms. I do 5% of the work a shroomer did 20 years ago and I think it goes unnoticed. If anything, I get mycelium out of this frozen B+ it only serves as a testament to how far we have come. Again not directed at you my friend, thank you Edit, thank you for upvote

I 🤔 think your right and Im surprised. It appears at day 4 from the shoot in there's early signs of white fuzz beginning to show face from rye kernels focused in one spot on the back of the bag. Maybe premature happiness but I'll be back with the Cyberdyne systems model 101 for sure updates of the rawdog toliet bowl inoculation. Pretty pleased for a person who didn't want to run 2 tubs at a time. This B+ specimen is tuff because it came in from a super cold box at 4° f.

Yep it's definitely mycelium @ day 5. She blinded me with science. It's poetry in motion She turned her tender eyes to me As deep as any ocean As sweet as any harmony But she blinded me with science She blinded me with science! And failed me in biology, hey

I've decided to get another single pound bag of rye to add to the existing 5 pounder. It looks like there will enough room for the whole amount in one bag without encroaching the fae patch. With a total of 6 pounds rye mixed with 20 pounds of substrate, it should get me close to a 5 inch thick cake. Of course this ratio presents a 1:3.3 ratio by weight. Its been a goal of mine for some time now to achieve a 5" tall shit cake.

 Day 10 from LC inoculation, new bag sealer should be here today via the Amazonians. Will combine the two separate bags. Again the #'s, 6 to 20 for 5".

 As soon as the brown truck guy dropped of the new sealer, I got to work. First there were 2 and then there was 1. I was worried about not having the interior bag space to shake and break up. With rolling action and vigorous bouncing I think we got it mixed up decently. Just as I was dropping the contents of the 1 lb into the bigger bag.... Like clockwork or being summoned by the contamination monster at the perfect time, here comes grandma walking thru the kitchen with a dirty dander filled king size bed comforter. Passing 1 foot from the kitchen counter with open sterile rye bags, I swear I think she did it on purpose. She's at her kung fu gym right now and I feel like throwing a dog turd in the washer with her dang comforter. If this young B+ colony survived another environmental pitfall, I'll be all to excited to see how it fruits, while right now I'm more concerned if it will come back without bacterial growth. I spoke with the rye vendor today and they are making up to 10 pounders now in oversize bags! Right on, next up the 10'er, and it's got to be a white surf board run (albino tidal wave).
