What's the best way to inoculate BRF pucks using a spore swab? I've heard some people just tweeze off some qtip fiber, others just jam the whole thing in, and others use sterilized water to make a pseudo-spore syringe.

I'm a noob, so I'd appreciate hearing what people think the easiest method is.


I just did a few pucks with spore swabs. I chose to use the sharp point of my blade to tear off pieces of swab, then bury in the center of the pucks. I'm using my harbor freight set of tweezers next time, though.

You only need a small bit, then save the rest of the swab or section it out to your pucks.


Do the spores really touch anything and germinate if you do that? Do you wet it first?

Doing what he says above works perfectly fine. And there's no need to get it wet.

Yeah the smaller white ones that look like they never grew anything past pins. And those dark black ones. The ones that look like they started to become fruits but then kind of stopped. And then turned off black and ugly.

No they won't make you sick to eat them. They're just not pretty and those smaller ones I just tend to throw them out unless you're really trying to as much quantity as you possibly can. But once you get growing and you start getting better at it those smaller aborts and stuff won't really matter as much to you.

So my logic is if they're super precious to you go ahead and keep them there's nothing wrong with them. But if not. toss them.

Some people say you actually trip pretty hard off of them. I would say eat them and let me know what you think?


Oh and you don't have to dry them to eat them. But that much you should definitely dehydrate properly to store for long term.

Looks great, the whole point of a MS grow is to get a clone and you got a good candidate there.

Nice work

So if cubes are cubes then that should mean no variety(sub- variety)is easier or harder to grow than another variety(sub-variety) right?

The only difference is some might grow slower and need just a little bit more or less Fae and or misting etc?

The whole "beginner" variety thing is just marketing by vendors? Or is this not the case?

I believe there’s consensus that penis envy is harder to grow than most cubensis.

LOL I love that makes me feel really good then cuz that was my first grow ever and I was successful. The only thing was it took a really long time. But I didn't really think it was that difficult.

I guess I can't really say for sure though because I'm still in the process of growing other varieties. It could have been beginner's luck. But  I got a few other projects that are starting to fruit as  as well.

I guess I'm going to have to get some more and find out. But if that's the common consensus then I guess I shouldn't worry about getting any other variety.

Yes and no.

A cube is a cube you can grow them all in basically the same setup. But some might need slightly more refined technique. (Like with many PE types)

Anything that isn't a PE type I'd call beginner friendly.

I did not wet the swab first. I pushed it into the puck where there was enough moisture for germination.

Even within the same Variety (ie Maz)
You can have so any different phenotypes. And they all seem to be stronger than the last... had every shape, size combinations.

Was half the fun, seeing what's next.

That's whats happening to me with my pe right now I believe. I mean I think this is happening for me between 1st and 2nd flushes. Is that possible?

I'm talking more about different cultures....

But between 1&2  it's usually just bigger the 2nd flush. Also if highly diverse it may have multiple expressions fruiting at separate times.

If a bunch of petris start growing mold after a month of sitting around then the ffu didn't filter out the smallest particles or just slow mold?


Spores can work their way in over time, take a while to germinate, come in from gaps in the cellophane, or fall from the petri lid. Transfer away but don't bet on any plate surviving indefinitely.


Good to know. Thanks!

Oh ok gotcha.  Ya I just meant my first flush and second flush look completely different and shape and size. I wasn't aware if this is extremely common?

First flush-

So far from my experience, the further along the flush train you are, the more the tub puts all its energy into fruiting like a handful of really massive fruits, instead of the canopy or close to it on the first flush.

How quickly should PF Tek colonize, and if they were to stall when would I know? This growth is after a week, but I’m assuming the rate of growth will increase eventually

give it time, looks good for now - it can take even 1 month if you do not shake etc. everything depend on genetics, temperature of incubation and moisture content inside.
