I have some of those gray lids, unmoved, that gave me some issues with my last jar run. I'm going to drill holes in mine and add filter disks and see if that helps.


Right there with you brother, filter disk on all my next jars. It's a far stretch, but a little lost at the moment and willing to try anything. Read that nektar61 had the same issues with unmodded an stipe'n cap use modded lids, gonna try it, cuz I'm lost at what fucked me. Thanks for sharing.

I really like the cheap plastic lids. They suck for unmodded, but work great with a filter disk RTV'd on. They're $21 CAD for 24 of them.

Yeah, but I'm in Norway, and everything is expensive. But that said, I have filter disks and going to try that.. It's like walking in the dark, I have no clue to why my tubs are fucked, but I'm going to get thru this and make it work..  Thanks tho, appreciate it.

I'm in the same position as you. For the last year I've had trich show up almost every time. Before pins in the beginning, but now before first flush is done. The only good thing is that it has really helped me tighten up my process and learn new techniques.

I'm doing Cabin Sequestering and trenching to hopefully rule out/ eliminate bacteria and other hidden contaminants. My plates are always turning out tomentose, so I'm leaning towards that as a cause.

I'm also switching away from oats. Getting some Soft White Wheat and Millet tomorrow.

Not saying that is necessarily your cause, just sharing my experience.

Best of luck to you!

I think for unmodded lids you need to avoid touching or moving the jars as much as possible. You tighten the lid for the shake, unscrew it and then litfa until full colonization. I knew I wouldn’t be able to not touch and check them every day so I went with modded lids from the beginning :grin:

Have you tried changing agar recipes? I’m not saying this is your case, but I switched from brf agar to lme agar and my permanently tomentose cultures became pretty rhizos even at T1s in the new agar

Also do you have a flowhood or ffu? If you don’t, doing cabin sequestering and anything that implies having the plate exposed for longer and doing movements above it might cause some issues. If you are working only with a SAB, brf pucks with a 3-4mm trench are super useful to clean bacteria in my experience

I also use the cheap plastic lids, I use filter stickers, I will start RTVing them on soon. But after I inoculate the jar I've started using 1" parafilm around the lid edge and jar to make as good of a seal as my plates get. That way if I get contamination, it's either my grain prep or my inoculation without a doubt.

Funny enough, I started the culture with a trenched BRF puck.

I currently use .5% lme.

I am using a SAB, so far only one ended up with a mold spore on it. I tossed that one. Here's hoping the rest are OK. I've been on the road for a week so I haven't checked them in a bit.

What is the current consenus/opinions about unmodified tubs and just flipping/adjusting the lid for dialing in? What are the pros and cons?

I see a lot of praise for pastywhites ez dialed monos, but i like to keep things as simple as possible.


no consensus, just opinions and preferences :shrug:
(you can see both in my signature)
these are the physics illustrated and you can infer what could go south with unmod:

the only inaccuracy of the video, IMO, is that the FAE holes should be uncovered from day 1, for speed of myc colonization and to not let anaerobic prone bacteria get a leg up.

"flipping/adjusting the lid for dialing in" the issue is  precisely on dialing in when the farmer lacks the sensibility to do so :biggrin:

I've been working with some dirty spore plates and unfortunately some mold from them made its way into my sab and onto some other agar projects.

A lot of them ended up on plates that I have duplicates of so I'm just tossing those, but there are a couple that I would like to transfer away to a fresh plate. The mold has already sporulated in these plates

Besides taking a transfer from the furthest area from the mold spot, are there any other tricks I can use?

Would a BRF puck, trench, josex poke, or water agar help at all? If I'm remembering correctly those are methods for bacteria but I could be wrong.

Any suggestions are welcome.

I believe you’d have a good chance at success if you just transfer from furthest away. Try that first at least imo

Hi all,

I just did my first agar pour today! I did not inoculate them yet because I want to know if my pour tek was good. So I am leaving them uninoculated for a few days to see if any contamination occurs.

Where would you store them, the fridge or on a shelf room temperature somewhere? They are wrapped in parafilm. Would you also put them in a ziplock or something? The bag they came in got mangled by me, so I can not put them there.

Thank you for your input!

I’ve read Teks that suggest heat sealing bags for truffles making PRIOR to sterilization and I have read Teks that suggest leaving the bags open (not heat sealed) but still folded underneath the bag with a plate on top to prevent it clogging the vent.

What’s the difference between heat sealing the bags of grain prior to sterilization and NOT heat sealing the bags, if any,


No requirement whatsoever to pre-seal bags. This will explain in detail:





Thanks! He doesn’t mention anything about water & forked capacity, however. Is this video assuming that you have already pre-hydrated the grain?

Evening all.

Any idea what this is? I am in fruiting conditions on a grow. Are these Pins or just really aggressive mycelium? never seen a ring formation like that.

Thanks

I leave my plates in my SAB for the most part until I use them, otherwise a ziploc would be fine :thumbup:

I think I have oats in my brain for pans, but that probably came from something outdated. I'll give 'er a go.
