Welp, glad you mentioned taking a pic because the condensation had really skewed my perception. Since writing earlier, it has started spreading towards the center.  Hope alls well enough..

Yea Im down with the LC line of inquiry


How dl you test without risking contam? I have 12 jars Ive test. 11 were clean.  But are they still?

Is best practice to aspirate into syringes all at once?

You have your still air box.
Then you got your individually sealed syringes.
I make my LC in the SAB.
Sanitize spray wipe down whatever.
Open your syringe package, open your jar, pull some into the needle.
Open your plate, drop a bit onto it.
Wait for results.

The only way I’ve heard to be able to tell if your LC is off that seems fairly consistent is turbidity.
If things went well in your LC, it should be almost clear as the nutrients are devoured.

Yes test you LC on agar before you inoculate grains. Your LC could "look" good but there are plenty of contams that don't turn your LC into a puke green or anything else obvious to the eye

I would always test. I’m just saying that is the only thing that I know of to look for.
Doesn’t have to be green either. It could just be kind of brown still like it was when you first made it and it never really cleared up.

If you're worried about testing on agar FIRST... you can do it LAST.

Since it's already opened for grain inoculations, after the last one put it to agar that way you'll KNOW for sure if at any point (say half way thru) you accidentally contaminated it .

  Or if you really want to get technical.
agar first-->grain jars(×n)-->agar last.

So if the first plate is clean but the last isn't you'll  know it was your technique.

Plus there's the added bonus you get if you succeeded,
CLEAN AGAR PLATES for next time.

This one's a little more expensive but it has the pre-filter. What do you guys think of this one? This is kind of the one I'm leaning towards.

Well, I can’t deny that I love the splash of color.
Everything appears to be in working order here. I like the clamps.

I also really like the price tag. Just make sure to really inspect it when you get it. Even one lil rip in that filter and it’s useless.

The MSS that I just recently got came with a very annoying cap on it. It's tall and Hollow and the solution and spores get stuck up in it whenever you shake it. I'm wanting to change it for one of the smaller black caps that normally come on it. Is it as easy as soaking the black cap and ISO for a little bit and then just switching them out inside my sab?

Here's the cap it has.



I Want to switch it out with this

Exact same one? With the pre-filter? Can you direct me to that link? I can't find it? I definitely don't need to pay $100 for color LOL

So I got this puny little guy that I finally just had to harvest. Is this "hat" edible it looks and feels like a straight up cotton ball?.

Starting to worry I put it in with the others in the dehydrator. And it's been in my watertub in it's 2nd flush.

Thats smart thinking right there. I've got what should be my first good LC and I also do not like the idea of drawing it with a syringe. Thanks for providing the goods!

So I was at the grocery store today, picked up some paprika and curry powder at the spice shelf, and next to them were sugars, sweeteners and different baking additives. And today I learned that they use agar-agar in baking too, as some kind of substitute for gelatin. Is that grocery store stuff suitable for our shroomy interests, or are the additives that make it unsuitable?


Just to return to this a bit, it was 5,90 € for a 60gram jar. Looked at the ingredients today and there were no additives listed, just agar-agar. Bought one for future use.


It's vegan jello. Gelatin is made from beef (usually). If vegans wanna make jello or custard or whatever you would bake with gelatin, they is that. Jello made from seaweed.

Have 2 tubs? One water tub and one sgfc. Or sell the perlite somehow. I bought a few things I can't use for sure. But you could do an sgfc it's just more work and more precise and hard to manage. Not worlds harder you'd just need to make sure to do specific maintenance everyday potentially. Knowing what to look for in micro climates and mycelial regeneration in substrates, humidity and fae is trickier for someone just starting out.


So water tubs are really great I did the whole grow in 99% humidity. Opened it once a day to smell check for contamination and visual checks. Then closed the tub latches again. I don't have a Hygrometer so I'm just saying the tub was always fogged up. I checked them once a day, away from the air conditioning door closed. 12 hours on 12 hrs off of a light that is from years ago and installed in a 1950s closet light with a chain with the light barely hitting it.

Sfgcs are fine though. If you wanna use that perlite I believe in you that you can learn every successful step in making and maintaining a Perlite sfgc. Just may go wrong more often.
