When you guys are in a session. And your sanitizing your scalpel what do you set it on to have it cool?
I’m imagining like one of those wire soap holders.
Just curious if someone has a better suggestion.
Or maybe a metal toothbrush holder.


In the SAB I set them on a shot glass, and I have a magnet on my flow.








That's really smart tho.great thinking "scemilope"

Hey Genesis just curious were you talking  about just cooling the blade down after you use it or were you looking for a place to set it in general so you can work and do other stuff and come back to it?

Cuz he had a great idea. If you're not looking for a place to set it and just cool it have you tried dipping it into an extra agar dish? Just wanted to make sure if you're already aware of this or not?

I’ve been trying to dial in my set up and I’m getting close.


Get a stainless steel table, problem solved.

This is what I wanted to do, but even used ones are pricey. Im also then having neighbors seeing me haul that mf into my apartment, which is a little more eyebrow raising than most supplies.

No it’s not, they won’t even think about it.  Most of them come in pieces in a box anyway.

I’m seeing lots of them online at places like home depot for prices ranging from $120-200.  I have a cheap one we got from fred meyers years ago and it works great still.

Tbh, I never even considered that a new one would come in a box, so thanks homie. I may have to give that some consideration when funds allow.

So easy to clean, no burning or melting.  Plus it makes me feel cool and that is the most important part.

I don’t know that magnets looking real sexy as a solution.
Set directly in front of the fan, so it cools the fastest.

Can someone help tell me which one of these is a better deal?

Each brick of Eco Earth says it makes 7 to 8 L of substrate. There's 12 bricks.


The Coco Bliss is 10 lb for basically the same price. I have no clue how to do those conversions.

Which one of these ends up weighing more?







Go with cocobliss. I will never use eco earth again after I had plant seeds germinate and 3/4 boxes contaminate. Cocobliss all day, amigo.




Seriously? Just curious how long did you use it before that happened and you decided you will never use it again?

Cuz all the search I did last night on here shows pretty much everybody says eco-earth is the best. Like that was the common consensus it came down to Coco bliss and  Eco Earth basically being the top two preferred Brands if you're looking for a brand.

Too late! I already bucketed, should have waited for the millet to be more colonized but it looked so white on the outside.. Turns out 20 days is not enough 😅



I have faith in this myc though🤞. I have some fruiting after separating it from contaminated spawn and just covering it with verm🫢

I haven't seen anyone recommend eco earth in years.  I have seen a lot of people say to stay away from it.  I haven't had bad results with it, but I've read horror stories.  When I run out of my current coir (which is neither) I will be switching to coco bliss based on recommendations from other cultivators here.

I thought I had it figured out, chasing down pretty myc and taking subcultures.

Now I've got plins everywhere in my earlier plates. I've taken some pins to new agar, especially if I haven't taken that variety to bulk yet or achieved a nice looking transfer.

My question is basically about not using too many damned agar plates. What is preferred, taking plin clones or chasing the clean myc through transfers from T0 onward?

Cooling the blade really isn't necessary. It will cool on your first cut, and there will still be millions of live cells in the rest of the piece you're cutting.

If I'm transferring to agar, I'll often cool the blade in the receiving dish. Otherwise (when going to grain or to baggies for trade or cryovials for backup) I just let it sizzle on that first cut. Never had a problem with it recovering.

What he said. I cool my blade in my first cut. Let sizzle for a couple seconds. Transfers grow fine.

I never let it cool, just cut. The transfers always recover, you’re not giving the fungi enough credit.

Hey Thurman, show that Pic again of your eco earth coir sprouting seeds.

I have 8 bricks of it and I'm pasteurizing every bit of it. Then, I'm switching to cocobliss!

Fuck eco earth. It killed some shrooms and the leftovers are currently killing a plant in my autopot.
