Yeast looks like little dots (often yellow) on agar - not much different from on grain.

Definitely not from how you handled the jars before PCing. Yeast dies at boiling temperatures and AFAIK doesn't even produce anything like endospores. So it was most likely already in your culture (but you'd probably have noticed it) or introduced at inoculation.

I haven't tried to spawn a yeasty jar. Hopefully someone who has tried can say whether it worked for them, but it seems to me if the mycelium is otherwise healthy looking, it's worth at least top fruiting the jars.

Thanks for the tip! No sign of that on agar, and the jar looked perfect that's why I used it.

Maybe I didn't use gloves or wasn't showered when I did that batch.

On another note, are horticultural grade coir bricks of 5kg considered a bad idea here? I've been trying a few different brands, HollandBasics was the last one, I've used Mother Earth as well. Tbh, I've been having contam issues after first flushes.

I had ran out, bought a 3pack of Exo Terra Plantation Soil, and I must say I really like the growth that my current tubs are having with it.

Just tried a new brand, Plantbest BeatsPeat. It's saying to hydrate it with 7.6ml per 1g which is looking way too high for field capacity. I guess I'll do a test. at 5 to 1.

They don't produce endospores, but many of them can produce biofilm and that shit will not die by boiling it. But as with endospores it shouldn't survive 120°C :rockon:

I don't think that is the case here, just wanted to share the fear I have as a homebrewer :muppet:

Starting to work with glass petris. I left them in the PC overnight until the cooled and there's major condensation inside. I guess I should be moving them to the SAB while they're warm?

If you move them while warm, they may still be liquid, and the sloshing will ruin them.

You did it correctly. I put them in the sab cold, remove foil, and let them sit in Sab a couple days, until clear.

So I have this qt sized BRF cake (reishi), from vendor LC that has been clean on agar - turned it into quickie LI so I had more juice to spoot:


QQ: Will 6c of HWFP make enough substrate for this cake to thrive in a 2 gallon bucket? Is this a terrible plan?

I am looking for some decent bags for cheap, but I'd like to get this cake fruiting if I can.

I'm cross posting this to the medicinal forum, but my questions there have not been answered in the past, so fingers crossed.

Ive been doing bags with 2lbs of hwfp and 1qt of spawn and its not enough to fill a 2 gallon bucket. (I haven’t used my buckets except to hold my spawn bags :lol: mainly because I don’t know how much hwfp it takes to fill it. I’m guessing between 2-3lbs though)

Very cool though, I have some small cakes of oysters going to fruit as cakes for fun.

and I hear ya about the gourmet side, there’s like 1% of action of this side bwahahaha

Right on, thanks for the info. I suppose I could have weighed the 6 cups. But we shall see,

I've got some blue oyster culture as well, planning to do those outside.

Not sure if you went with the model suggested, but I was using mine today for a marathon PC session and wanted to pass along one tip for it: set it to 1800 in watt mode to heat up at quick as possible, then once you pass 15psi (or whatever you're going for) set it to 800 watt. For me that holds the psi pretty steady so then I set the timer and just check it every 30 min for bags/jars, for LC and agar it's set it and forget it.

Hi!

Hope everyone is doing okay!

A few questions please :

1. For a 32quart monotub, how much coir (dry) and oats (dry) do I need?

2. For PF TEK,  If going coco coir, you rinse the verm then let rest 24h, then roll in coco coir right? You do not put any more verm right?

3. For PF TEK, if going coco coir, how much coco coir (dry) for 20 cakes?

Thank you!

Hi everyone my question is: does this look like yeast contam or can it just be grain bruising after B&S? Talking about the white spots on the berries of these 2 bags. they are only in this very small spot close to the colonized mycelium grains so im not sure.. first time growing too..

1. For a 32quart monotub, how much coir (dry) and oats (dry) do I need?

This is about 1/2 the size of a traditional mono, so I'd say half a brick of coir (~300 - 325g). Oats double in size (1 cup dry = 2 cups prepped). 2-3 quart jars of spawn is enough for your 32q mono, that's 3-5 cups dry oats.

2. For PF TEK,  If going coco coir, you rinse the verm then let rest 24h, then roll in coco coir right? You do not put any more verm right?

Iirc, once pf jars are fully colonized, you dunk in water for 24 hours, birth your cakes from their jars, rinse them off, then roll in either coco coir or verm, your choice.

3. For PF TEK, if going coco coir, how much coco coir (dry) for 20 cakes?

If you're talking about rolling the cakes, IDK how much, but you could start by prepping 2 quarts worth of coir.  Everyone's coir is different, so you'll have to experiment with yours, but for me 125g dry coir + 500ml water = ~2 quarts prepped coir.

I've never eaten ovoids.  Pans are very potent, so if you're eating them rather than making tea or gummies, you're consuming less chitin.

Which contributes to the nausea.  Or less nausea in this case.

That said, I still occasionally purge on pans. Especially if I don't make tea and I'm already feeling emotional about other things.

I always make tea when I trip and microdose with capsules. Feel like shit half the time either way so idk, maybe just sensitive to it compared to others. Never tried gummies/chocolate for microdosing tho..think I'm gonna try eating them whole to get a slow release.
