Thank you!

They look so unlike the pictures of cubes I've seen so I was confused to see them growing like that. I'll definitely be taking some spore prints in case they end up being potent as well.


Spore prints are cool, but clones are cooler :laugh:


I was gonna say... Unless you have gone many isolates down isn't going from multispore, fruit, then back to multispore essentially a crap shoot on any time of phenotype or potency genetics you're hoping for? My understanding was you are simply going back to square one and multiplying your available spores.

Whereas, clone, fruit, and do that several times, and MAYBE you can hope your print is somewhat similar to your clone.

My posts are long winded and dense.
Supplemented coir experiments< Currently ongoing spring 2026.

~Agar~ 1000mL water = 1000g water. use ~1% agar...1% of 1000g is 10g.  For cubes, use between 1-2% nutes (10-20g). For pans use 0.5% nutes (5g).

Everything I have typed is purely fiction, and is purely for personal amusement.
All images I've posted are not mine and I am simply posting interesting things I found on the Google.

Hi all.

What causes these darker discolored areas on the caps?  Stargazers.  They are in a humidity chamber.



Thanks in advance


oh no, thank you. Thats the postcard picture. Whatever you are doing, keep doing it :thumbup:

Thanks.  Question, though - those marks are on the top of the caps - how do the spores get there?  My airflow too fast?

Spores, indeed - clear purple powder on the stems.  Don't know why I didn't see it immediately.  Still don't know how they got on top of the caps, but it is what it is.

Can anyone help me figure out why my no prep millet jars coming out this way? Fill jars up to 150ml with millet then add 75ml of water. Mix then pressure cook for 90 minutes.  The bottoms are cooking.
Have the jars up on a trivet with the water just barely touching the bottom of the trivet. Let pressure cooker come up to pressure then turn heat down to almost off so it maintains the pressure for the 90 minutes. Let the pressure release on its own.



Same quantities, same time. Unhulled millet with a bit of vermiculite added.

Convection currents carry them up then they hit dead air above the cap and fall onto the cap. Happens quite often when you let them mature to the point where they eject spores.

An issue that can arise with the no prep for millet is that you can end up with the millet on the bottom getting so overcooked it turns into a block of grain. In my experience it is a result of uneven hydration.

Find a reliable no prep tek or do a soak for your next batch

He's not wrong though, that guide of Yoshi's is great but that doesn't mean you don't often end up with a puck if you don't shake when hot.

Prolly gonna sound like a dick but I don't understand the obsession with overcomplicating a one ingredient soup.
No prep works ok but I think it's usually more trouble than it's worth. Unless you're working at large scale it only saves a little time/effort and untill you get it dialed in just right you end up with mediocre grain and jars that are a pain in that ass to wash.

I like the "no prep" millet. But I blow all the hulls off with air compressor, much, much cleaner. I'm doing 265 grams millet and 150ml water, shaking them right out of PC is required. Let them sit for a few days, voila!!

Funny that I thought the same thing but in favor of low prep. So much less time and materials to just put the right amount of grain and water in jars, pc and done. Whatever works for you.

To the original question, I found that reducing the water a bit was the key to avoiding pucks in the bottom. But that assumes that the millet is not hulled. As in the hulls are still on the millet. (Why does hulled/unhulled have to be so confusing?)

Shaking when hot does make it easier if there is too much water, but mine shake fine the next day if I let them cool over night. A little clumping, but not full on unbreakable pucks.

If you are blessed with a very clean millet supplier, no prep is great. My millet is filthy, so I just make Scemi’s one ingredient soup and be done with it

That's fair. I use the germination lids to rinse my jars of millet and now millet/wheat before the pc cycle.

And to be honest I could do the same. I could rinse it. But part of me likes prepping grain because it’s a guaranteed 5 hour cycle where I can’t be bothered by anyone because I’m busy. No sorry can’t come watch TV while you smoke weed, gotta prep grain.

No no sorry, can’t go to your dinner part I have to prep grain.

@Smelly, Love this so much.

So, is a shelled peanut not in the shell because it has been shelled or in the shell because it is shelled like a painted car has paint on it?

Hulled and unhulled really has that "irregardless" energy that gets under my skin.
