Poke it? Like, with my finger? What does it mean if it does disintegrate or doesn’t?

Just looks like something under the surface to me and usually when there is something under the surface that has come to the surface or bruised the surface it's a soft spot :crazy2:

Hard to tell from pics though but it doesn't really look great to me

Is CV with hydrated lime or calcium carbonate if needed okay to use to case PE? Or does it have to be peat moss?

How thick of top layer did you give?

Plain Verm would probably work, without having peat on hand.

I’ve never found decent price peat moss here…
Had good results with letting the mycelium surface and topping it with a good 3cm of compressed coir.
1cm casing of 60/40 cactus soil/verm with a tea spoon of lime per cup of cactus soil also worked great 👍
Happy dick chopping :muppet:

I actually have some spagnhum peat moss that came in a couple weeks ago. I have no experience with peat moss casings though. Is it supposed to be a little hydrated like this? I've read somewhere that it should be dry. This is the only peat moss I can get here.

What's the best way to pasteurize 50/50 peatmoss casings in your opinion? I'm reading a whole bunch of different teks and some people even sterilize it in PC.

Agar 2nd try questions:

Just poured oatmeal juice / starch syrup / agar into 6 disposable condiment containers in my SAB. They're cooling in there with open tops, condensation on the walls of the SAB. That's all fine right?

I've seen that some ppl leave the agar plates for a few days to check for contam before inoculating. Is there a majority opinion on that? I was thinking of inoculating with spore from a fresh spore print today.

Newbie here. Rehydrated cakes after first flush. Rinsed off and knocked off aborts, soaked in purified water for 24, rolled in dry verm, double caked top with wet verm, sprayed cakes and lid with diluted H202 and set cakes in plastic tray, up out of bed of wet verm to help with moisture, in a very dry climate and struggle with humidity. Question is for the immediate, should I seal the monotub holes with plugs or utilize filter tape? Still spray daily or let it chill for a few days and then start monitoring conditions and spray as needed?

My Carmel popcorn tank has fully colonized but has not fruited, save for a small number of side pins, any advice?

Note: I did not case, I've been misting it every couple days or so, and the sub is straight coir.

You leave agar plates, alone for a while when you’re questioning if your methods were sterile. If there is contamination growing in your plates, then you weren’t ready to move past that phase anyways.

You shouldn’t seal it so there’s no air exchange. But you shouldn’t leave it open either because you don’t want too much drying out the tub. You shouldn’t need to miss at all once you’ve properly hydrated it so just leave it alone.

No buddy, the lid goes on right away.  Your plates are likely toast.

Also I'm not sure where you're getting your agar recipe from, so I'm just going to leave this link here:

Thanks stipe, already using it.

Can't really help without pics as that setup doesn't sound like any pf tek fruiting chamber I've heard of?

What tek are you following?

in that case, what do you do about condensation forming? I thought I read others saying to leave open for a while to avoid that ... just mis-remembering I guess? :confused:
