Yea, I'll give cling wrap a try. Is that when you cling wrap 20 stacked up plates for example? If I needed to use just one agar plate I can just cut it with a scalpel or?
Double wrapping parafilm one plate at a time takes a bunch of my fuckin time lol.



You grab a new roll of clingwrap and just cut that one with a sharp knife into 1-2cm rolls. Then just use those rolls like you'd normally use parafilm :-)



Ok thanks. Do you think the agar plates I have with the rips are still good to use? I made a shit ton

Covid hustle culture has ruined things for lower income people. I need some dressers and other furniture, but everything on fb marketplace has been slapped with shitty paint and is being sold for a higher price than the press board cheap stuff.

Another question... Is it possible for shroom tolerance to stay high forever? Can your mind and body just get used to it? Because I took 12.5 grams from a batch I made after a month long tolerance break and I thought the potency was really weak and that I grew some bunk shrooms. So I gave some of that batch out to people and everybody tripped balls taking 2-3 grams. A couple months ago I took around 12.5 grams of the same genetics also after a 2 month tolerance break. Before I would only need an eighth or so for a perfect trip, or even a scary trip.



I get high like twice a week

I bought a new microwave. A lot of households here do not have a microwave btw so this is kinda new to me . If I am gonna pour agar but the agar solidifies can I just microwave it until it's liquid again so I can pour it?

Yes I was also shroomin once or twice a week for a year. And then I took a couple months tolerance break but my tolerance didn't go down, wtf.

Currently only agar and yeah ill need to sort out the grain problem after im successful with the agar, trying to work on a solution.



The only thing you're going to be doing with steaming is PF Tek.

If you want to do plates and grain you first have to get a PC, full stop.

I don't know what the fuck is up with the parafilm I get here but I double wrap my plates and I noticed half of the plates has some rips in them exposing the agar to air. I added another layer on them but I'm wondering if they are still good to use? Because it's a shitload of plates and I definitely don't want to waste them. The agar plates been sitting in the corner on top of a shelf, and if I had to guess I think the rips been there for like a week.

I want to add another parafilm layer to the rest of the plates because I see they are starting to rip but I had a long day and I'm tired af.

Idk if I get fake parafilm out here or old parafilm or something, but sometimes the parafilm is good, sometimes not. I'm gonna check Amazon right now to see if they can ship internationally. Shit's making me go crazy buying questionable parafilm out here that's causing problems.

Or should I just triple or quadruple wrap the plates



Do you have a picture of the Parafilm you're using? How do you store it? I bought a roll of parafilm 4 months ago and have plates that's been sitting equally long, they are fine. I bet you are either getting a dried up, old ass roll or storing it wrong and it's drying out.

I have mine stored in a ziplock bag and try to get as much air out as possible after using it and store all my plates in shoeboxes. I buy most of my "lab" equipment from an actual lab that delivers mostly to schools so I guess the supplies rotate fairly often.

Even tho I am team parafilm at the moment I've read others really liking grafting tape, it's cheap, comes in the right size and is like if parafilm and cling wrap had a child, might want to check it out.

once i tried clingwrap it wasnt worth it to use anything else, but thats my opinion.. grafting tape is more difficult to rip off, unless i just got some heavy duty shit or im a weakling but either way i now use cling and wont go back to anything else

i ended up getting a ratcheting pvc cutter so thats its just easy to cut clingwrap rolls off

Yeah sure just wrap em with clingwrap when you get some

And if they do tam out around the edges in a while you can write if off instead of questioning your technique

Grafting tape and parafilm would dry out and crack open on plates left for a long time to pin. I live in a desert, though.

So it is cling wrap for me. Pick a method and cut the roll into 1 to 1.5 inch(2.5 to 4 cm) wheels. I saw 1 to 2 cm above, but that seems a bit small for wrapping plates to me. ymmv

Hey all, back to bend some more ears.

I seem to still be having hunidity/hydration issues. My grow is going pretty slow, I first saw pins about a week ago and am still here...




I check the tubs twice a day, and never see any small water droplets on the mycelium, and the substrate looks dry/very light colored.

Should I mist? Open the tubs in fruiting chamber and let the humidifier do it's thing?

Thanks.

Probably a controversial opinion but I would honestly just fill the entire top of the cake with water, leave it for an hour or two and (gently) dump the excess water out

Done it before and it did great with dried out tubs (or for second flushes)

You can give it a light mist if the surface conditions aren't right

Try to do it from a distance and from above so that the mist falls onto the substrate in a fine layer and doesn't pool

What Throwaway said is an option as well and might be the better one in this case actually

Well shit, why'd you have to be all rational and kind about it, taking me back to my childhood traumas and whatnot :rofl:

But yeah I hear ya, and I admit, I have never tried clingwrap, might have to give it a go, I just know that the few times I've tried clingwraping anything(not plates obviously), all it wants to stick to is it's damn self and I get frustrated and roll it in to a ball and yeet it:lol:

I use a SAB and I was thinking that it would be easy to bump in to it when ripping the clingwrap?  How do you store it?

I actually thought about this. I will do it on one of the three tubs and compare.

Cling rips easier than the others in my opinion. Grafting tape was the worst but I've only tried grafting tape once so I'm not sure if I got a shitty brand or something. It was way thicker and stretchy pain to rip for me.

Cling almost rips too easy sometimes

I don't really store it any special manner I just leave it in my work area where I do transfers lol

I'm thinking you should either take a break or get better weed dude, you're not even close to paranoid enough being that reckless. :muppet:

Seriously tho, thanks for answering, I do like parafilm, but it's pretty expensive. :begger: One last question if you don't mind. Does is breathe or is that just not a problem?
