Awesome, Rev and Tree Frog, that's what I was afraid of.
Guess I'll see about 2h@<20psi in that case. With any luck they'll colonise before the ones I've got going. Because this freaking sucks...

Thank you guys for the input 😊

I did save prints. But it was your culture work I don't know if you still have that culture probably not.

I know I tossed mine when we thought it was a cube instead of the pan they meant to send lol. Crazy karma on these genetics.

Remember this is the one I mixed up too when I labeled it at spawn :lol:

Has anybody personally ever put a praying mantis inside their tubs to keep control of gnats/ff's?

I haven't had to deal with them for a while but last time I did it was a pain and I considered getting one.

Just get some BTI, solve/stir it in hot water and mix into your subs. It's solved my fungus gnat issues completely. If you have house plants, treat those as well.

Why would you add Bti to hot water? I sprinkle it on soil and mix it in room temperature water.

It dissolves even faster if I stir it in some hot water. When I just added the powder to the sub it didn't work as well.

No problem making tea with fruits that have stuck coir on them right? My mutant varieties need to be shaved off, and coir is an issue :frown:

Shouldn't be an issue if it's straight coir. Hell a long time ago in my early years I use to shroom in this dairy farm and once I knew I had enough to put out on screens and dry, I would go to eating them fresh. A lot more than just shrooms were in my teeth!

My Bti (Aquabac) comes on corn bits. I don’t know how bacillus would tolerate hot water.

That is old mycelium that has had an epigenitic flip switched and it is exhibiting new morphology and has become cannibalistic. This is not uncommon for cube colonies that sit for a long time.

I found an old plate with ~8 shrooms actively growing on it, probably contaminated. Is there anything I can do with them or should I toss it? Thank you in advance!

You could recapture your culture or even a new one if they dropped spore in there. Cleanup if need be is a sinch and worth learning anyway. If you have life in your dish, you can always move it and clean it up.

The cannibal stuff, toss unless you just want to save a bit on agar. There is no energy left in there and it will just turn to mold food if you expose it.
