I'm new to bags and trying out some stuff with PE Uncut in them. Finally a bag with spawn and coir starts to fruit. A bit... I don't have a fruiting room. Only normal living rooms available with +-19 Celcius and humidity ranging from 40-80%. I went a bit on the edge here regarding ratios btw: 0.5l spawn on 3l coir.

Is the right approach to let these bags top fruit by poking holes in the bag?

And what about making a cut in the side?

Can anyone point me out to some info that better gets me on track?

Can anyone recommend or link a good brand of 50ml self-standing centrifuge tubes with proper caps that will withstand multiple autoclave cycles? Glass or pp5 is fine around that size, as long as the lids won't deform or melt.

I plan on modding the caps, by drilling a vent and adding small filter pads. So I can use them as plant tissue culture seed rescue/starting vessels. I also wanna be able to sterilize the TC media right in the tube, so basically doing no pours.

Does it really matter what material the cap is, if I plan on venting it that way anyway? Or will they just deform quickly?

All the brands I see listed on amazon selling bulk packs are misleading about the material of the cap. Most don't even say what it is, just that its "leak proof", etc. I can't find any that specifically use pp5 for the caps too. Only the tubes, but many ads makes it seem like the cap is pp5 too. Some of the ones that say you can autoclave (up to 120C) claim to use PE plastic caps though, so I don't really trust it.. Do they mean with or without the lid on?

youre good.  i think recognizing correct surface conditions is going to be  more critical than what kind of tape you use at this point.

also, do not snap that lid tight.  you need SOME air exchange.  maybe even open up a few hole.

creating a high humidity high co2 environment is a certain recipe for bacteria to run rampant or worse, trich. 

fahts taught me youre better off with lots of fae from the get go for this reason.  mist if you need to, but never choke it off.

Better to mist, then choking them out, got it.

So now, I'm back to freeze tape again and I put it on 2 out of 3 holes on the long side and 3 out of 5 on the short side. I'll leave it like this for a couple of days and see if any condensation will appear.

Should I mist the walls of the tub to see at what rate it evaporates? Any other advice?

And also, I can't post pictures and get the message: "out of space", anyone got a fix for that? Fixed

Surprised Faht passed this one by, try this, same thing really.

Thanks! So should be good now. Maybe to be added a bit more holes. Which I'll add today.

Anyone havind experience with making a cut on the side with cubes? I'm running that situation now also, but maybe someone could already get me out of an incorrect fantasy...

I also made an attempt to grow in bags now to do smaller grows and more variety instead of always running a whole tub.

I had a lot of side pins and blobs (PE and ESS). Im guessing it would have helped to compress the surface mor but i used very tall bags and that made it a bit difficult. Also after i added a casing ayer i couldnt really compress and level it out like in a tub. I would try putting an elastic band around the bag just under the fruiting surface or tape around tightly to help prevent sidepins. I initially just opened the top of the bags and gave them too little FAE which just dried them out i think. I then drowned the sub in water for some hours, added some generous holes & slits in the bottom and then got some nice pins finally. Definetely had a hard time though getting the conditions right. Will try again with ziplocks like in Fahts TEK. Just had these bags lying around and thought they look like theyre made for this.. turns out the filters really didnt allow much FAE
ESS          -          PE

Do you get a bunch of water pooling in the agar plate?

80 is fine for vegetative growth but remember the inside of jars will be warmer than ambient temp.

Also the higher the temp the increased potential for any unwanted organisms gaining a foothold.

Noted. Thanks for sharing

21 days after grain to spawn with SFF shoebox tek.
Is it normal to have little puddles like that?
I kept it close and latched the whole time. Should I supply it with FAE? because the moister seems really high
