Just got to be careful that your propane burner isn't too powerful. Like one of those turkey cooker burners is way too many btu. Maybe something like an outdoor camping Grill. The kind that has foldable legs but it's actually thick heavy cast iron or something


Just make sure you check how many BTU the pressure cooker is rated for so it doesn't warp and break it.



Good point, you definitely don't want a turkey fryer for this. My PC - a Mirro MIR-92122A - needs to stay under 12k BTU according to the directions, a camp stove type burner is good there. But sometimes I wonder if the biggest burner on my gas stove is more powerful than that.

Ships are fine. Use hydrogen peroxide on them for a few minutes. It works better than isopropyl.

That being said, I still top inoculate. So take it with a grain of salt 😂



Thanks!! Guess I’ll try with both methods and see which one works best for me. As soon as I spawn my first A2G jars I will try them with LC

Hi, quick question
it's my first time with psilocybe natalensis and i got a fully colonizated spawnbag, with few blue'ish-green'ish (or oxydated psylocybin color) grains, it isn't spreading or look like a casual trich. Should i toss, or just isolate it from other tubs and look how it works?

Hi guys, anyone still using SHIPs on their LC lids? I know faht uses them even on spawn jars but he has his steam gun to sterilize them. If I can’t sterilize my ships is it better to just go josex poke method and just pour the LC into the open spawn jars?



Ships suck, just another contamination vector.

All my lids have SHIPS but I no longer ever use them. I have had way less contam issues by simply opening the jar lid and inoculating from there.

Thanks! So you inoculate using a syringe or just pour from the open LC jar to the open grain jar? If you pour it, do you discard the LC after that or you can close it to use again later?

I don't pour. I still use a syringe to extract LC. I never reuse LC though. Before I inoculate ANY grain my first couple drops go to a fresh jar of LC. Then I knock up my grains. As soon as the NEW LC test's clean the old gets tossed.

I'm going to be making my first ever spore prints tonight! My QQ is about the roll of foil. I understand it needs to go into the SAB, but do I need to wipe down the foil box with some ISO? Should I remove the roll from the box entirely? And I guess once I get my foil off the roll, then I should let the air in the SAB settle a bit?

I don't want to noob this up too badly. Thank you for the wisdom you all will provide.

Just take your foil off the roll like you were using it for anything. If you’re taking them in the SAB you can let the air settle.

I take my prints in Tupperware these days. Takes up a lot less space

This is interesting, what size/shape are you using? This first batch will be for preservation's sake, so it doesn't need to be compact for mailing.

So, I’m following the PF Tek that’s suggested in the Hitchhiker’s guide.  It says to leave the cakes in a sealed water tub for 48 hours until the mycelium has come through the layer of vermiculite. However, it’s now been a week and I’m just getting the tufts that you see in the pictures below.  Should I go ahead and start with FAE and misting or let it cook?

Need some insight.

New here btw. Hopeful to get some support in my shroom journey:)

I’m attaching two pictures of my two b+ grow bags. I’ve had yellow liquid in the past but not to this extent… not even close. What am I looking at here and are my grow bags trash?

Anything helps. Thank you so much.

Just anything, really. I think I mostly use these small 4 cup glass tupperwares but whatever you’ve got that has a lid is fine

Well If I wasn't out of prints I would say try my BellCaps but anyone in the Semp thread can get you good genetics. I sent a bunch of prints out but have yet to see anyone say they finished a grow with them.



I have posted a few grows of them as well.
A third flush without the ideal pheno but still some pretty ones.

Proper pheno in a jar


And I have not posted this one yet. Started pinning 6 days ago. Going to try to keep the conditions a little more ideal instead of my usual neglect tek.

Thanks for the genetics and here is to hoping for more of the pretty ones. :cheers:

And to add, if you want cleaner prints, double print. The following print is always cleaner than the first from the same cap. Regardless, it's hard to mess up domestic prints and we always have agar :smile:

started using pucks to clean up cultures, realizing a little late you still need to make transfers or contamination can still win. but some pucks given time will produce plate pins. how do you judge how long to leave a puck alone in hopes of pins vs letting contam catch up? do you just make transfers early and leave the rest in hopes of pins, covering all the bases? or do you treat cultures differently depending on how contaminated you think they are (the worse they are the sooner you transfer?)

I usually place the inoculant on one side of the jar and and do a transfer when the mycelium on top reaches about half way across. Then I recap the jar and wait to see if it pins, too. But if I see signs of contam after getting my initial transfer I don't keep the puck any longer. I don't much like growing mold.

It's been a while since I've done oats, so I am not sure if this is normal or not. Note that the millet and oats from these bags where at the very bottom, had diatomaceous earth, and pantry moth larva/eggs/etc. Pced at 16psi for 1:40 mins.





Is that some yeast, or is it small tiny bits of mycelium taking hold?

One with red rice, super sticky.



Here is some millet with idk what. Yeast, or is it just digested hulls from the pantry moths or something?



Found this that looks like trich so that jar is a gonner, I think.
