I'm just curious, what's with the recent fad in punches?  Can anyone give me a reason why a scalpel is not sufficient for agar work?


It's definitely sufficient. It's just for jerking off to beautiful even-looking plates like the ones on D3's thread

Also convenient if they allow you to cut, pick up and do the transfer in one smooth motion. Not sure that leather punches allow you to do that bit though

Im curious about your Hobby R/C Monster Truck rubber tire. So its my understanding that you beat your colonizing grain jars with it like soft brass knuckles?

I purchased 2 metal straws at the coffee joint, but think they may not work being so long and can't make the mycelium pop out


Oh yeah, straws didn't even cross my mind. I guess you could get some stiff metal wire to pop them out through the other end.
I was originally looking for some kind of piston thingie that would do it in one piece so we wouldn't have to fuck around but the piston part is always plastic in everything I've found

Asian markets are the shit btw, they have so much stuff. You can even find PCs for pretty cheap there if either you can't find one in your country or have stupid ass regulations (I think my country doesn't even allow selling ones that go above 10 psi)

Ok, here's one from me (haven't received them yet):



If you want to mail live culture you can use those tiny PP5 centrifuge tubes and shove them in the PC. I plan on using those to send stuff to shroomery people, sterilize them open in a piece of foil and just put a little bit of colonized agar in there. They come in a bunch of different sizes but you can just fit a bunch of 1.5ml ones in a padded envelope. They are cheap as hell, a few cents per piece. Cost me something like between $1.5-$2 for a set of 30.


I’ve been using this little things. There fairly small and you can fit a ton on a bubble mailer like you said. To sterilize them I pop them in a little mason jar with a GE lid to do a bunch at once. Close the lid when done and ready to use. Open in Flow or SAB in my case. So far people have had good luck with them that I e sent to.

I'm curious what type of pens ya'll use to label plates and jars. I spray the shit out of everything before it enters my flowhood and a lot of times it causes my sharpie ink to bleed.

Anybody have a solution for this? I've tried postage labels, same thing. I was considering using clear tape over my writing.

I use a sharpie and do not label anything until after the task is performed.

Same. Just gotta remember what you are doing, step-by-step, especially when working with different genetics. And i just use Microban, which is much more friendly to use overall.

I tend to just write down the work I'm planning to do beforehand, and cross it out as I go. So like:

"Culture ID + Transfer #: 1 to water agar, 1 to regular agar"

Transfer to W.A. and cross out the "1 to W.A." as I take the dish out the SAB, go back and do the other, then cross that one out. And I either label it at that point and cross the whole line, or I keep the plates stacked in order and then go through the list line by line at the end.

Not so much of an issue for 3 plates, but when you have 20 cultures to take care of...

Thanks. I am going to read through your build.  I figured this thing would have to be modified, I just do not know to what extent exactly.

Anyone know if you can boil the grains in the brewers bag?

Just bought a couple of those bags for making grain mash. From what I read it should do just fine if you keep it off the bottom of the pot. Be extra careful if you use gas, the side of the pot can get too hot as well.
