I've never had an issue without dye myself but I could see why some like contrast




The middle is my LME plate (fairly translucent) and the first one is BRF (basically white) ... mine is terrible compared to yours, I do use homemade BRF so that could be why.

How much total substrate will fit in a shoebox for ideal depth?  For example I have 3 quarts of spawn and will do 1:1 coir. Do I need 2 shoeboxes? 3? 1 sweater box?  Also do shoeboxes not use a liner like monotubs do?


Dump QTS of water in and count them till you reach your depth , you don't need a liner but they don't hurt and make cleaning simple

2 at.  2:1.  3 at 1:1 will work out fine.    I normally make three. one qt jar per shoe. 

3qts should make one good mono also


Ok thanks. How many quarts would a 650g brick of coir be equivalent to?

Also, I made a 66 qt mono according to pastywhyte ez dialed tek for when my 7 quarts are done colonizing. You think I could use 3 quarts of spawn in a tub that size or were you referring to a smaller size?

This plate you posted. Just curous. Does it look tomentose on top and rhizo from underneath?

Ive got two plates that look like that.  The green ones I posted about last night. 






Is that the case? Is it both at the same time.  I wassnt sure if the fluffy top was somthing unwanted? Well i mean up until you said they were fine last night. So are they just in transition to rhizo still?

It's not just tomentose or rhizo it can be both and or intermediary as well as there's morphologies of mycelium that dont fit into either category really

With cubes it's usually gonna be rhizo or tomentose or a little of both but I have had cube cultures that look like mold and it was just a weird culture 

Genetics , nutes ect all factor into how a culture is going to express itself

Good to know.

@PuffM4gicDr4gon.

Lol.  Damn that's no good.  I definitely always ask before I toss when it comes to this hobby. Anyways that's why I  love this website.. We just helped each other out and didn't even mean to.

@cronicr.    Can you please link the malt and agar you source for your recipe. There's so many different brands and options to choose from I'm just trying to take all the guess work out for a noob such as  myself. Even though I'm sure it probably doesn't make too much of a difference?  I hate wasting money when I can get it right the first time.

I like .6 grams of brf to 500 MLS water 10 grams of agar
Or .7 malt gives a nice amber colored agar




You really only use .7g malt?
Thats such a HUGE difference from all the recipes saying use 10gs.


Is mea better than pda?
Is it just preference? 

Do any of yall do  pda?

Depending on strain it's more preference and or ease. If you get agar and have potato's, you can make pda. If you have money and/or a source for malt extract, it works just as well. Some strains do better on one vs the other but it all works.

I want to try dogfood agar and some people doing wood lovers use sawdust agar. It's like fishing tackle haha

It really is, different values of nutrients allow different things to grow. Mycelium grows on so many different things, so does contamination haha.

Catch yourself a tub of "Large Mouth" on a nice jig.

Just get some agar agar, a nutrient, and distilled water and you'll learn enough in a few months to understand what to do.

Hey fellas,

I made some millet grain spawn today, first try. Followed Stipes youtube instructions. Concerned I may have too many burst grains. What do you guys think? I have plenty of LC so I am not concerned about wasting it for the most part. Just don't want to waste the time if the odds are low.
