I know what the difference between Albino and Leucistic are, but what makes something leucistic?  Is there some criteria that separates a true leucistic from a lighter than average pheno, or are they the same thing?

Really appreciate the feedback I shall take a bit more time and consider researching agar because I have seen how much it is praised on here for the little extra effort, I just want to follow up by redefining my question is purchasing 2 lots of 10ml syringes to inoculate the spawn unreliable because it's 2 different syringes meaning 2 different batches and the genetics are seeing competition or is it a contam risk? Sorry if I seem clueless its all a lot of information to absorb (especially when learning a second language on the side)

Just to avoid any misunderstanding, by pf tek to monotub, do you by any chance might mean that you are planning to use crumbled cakes as spawn?

I personally wouldn’t do that (even though that was my first, and until recently only, grow ages ago too). I just don’t think the benefits actually outweigh the rewards.

I was under the impression it was still a successful method even with the extra steps and risk of contam with the crumbling of the cakes, somebody made the point about explaining that its extra unnecessary steps, I just heard it was more noob friendly for first grow I thought I'd start there, am I best just PF cakes directly inside the fruiting tub then instead for my first grow, agar and PC with grains will come later down the line for me

Not enough free air exchange. Sounds like you need more holes in your tub.

Ok. That kinda was the direction I was leaning in so thanks for the push. I had the holes plugged up but went ahead and removed the top ones and covered with a filter

Why the filters?

Well how clear did it run off at the very beginning?

I've found millet (for human consumption) to be pretty clean, compared to other grains like oats.

If it is pretty dirty though, It just take a little pre-gaming...

Fill jar with dry grain using your volume of choice, weigh it (jar and all)
Write it down or keep scale from auto-shutoff.

Rinse until clear runnoff, drain, & replace jar on scale.

The difference of the newly weighed jar & the dry grain is how much you subtract from the required H₂O that you'll be adding.

  1g=1ml H₂O
