I am new to cloning. This is a clone from a huge fruit. I made 2 clones from the fruit. The other plate I made transfers. The plate below is looking clean to me.. if I let it fully colonize can I just drop this one into grains or is it better to make transfers?

If you take clone material properly, the resulting plate is very often clean. That one looks good. You could drop it to grain any time.

QQ: what differences are there comparing hemp hurd and straw that makes hemp the preferred substrate with exotics?
When I look for manure-free recipes, hemp frequently pops up, straw not so much.
Thank you!

Hemp has a lot more moisture holding capacity. The inside is a similar texture to cat tails. Highly porous and soft. It also adds better structure.

But it's expensive if you can't buy it locally. Mostly I use composted manure/coir.

mystery genetics. what are thoughts on when to harvest something like this? the caps started opening 2 days ago but they have doubled in size during this same period and they've not sporulated yet.

edit: harvested it and it was just over 1/3 of a kilo.

I have had pins for about a week and yesterday one of the first ones (which was opened up from the start) turned dark grey, it didn't look right so I cut it off, is because of too much water or not enough, I try to keep it quite moist, first time grower pleas help.

I don’t see anything wrong based on this picture.
It is kind of blurry.

It looks like it was starting to abort. We could be a lot more help if you gave is a picture of the whole tub, rather than just the bottom of a tiny mushrooms.

Anyone have any tips for cutting plexiglass with a scalpel (it's all I have)? Is it ok to heat the blade?

Wtf thats all you have?

How thick? But I'd image that's the only way you'll be able to.

Unless it can be scored and snapped but I don't know about that.

Have any buddy's in construction?

With a new blade, and you don't cut it on a cutting board.

Holding it, the new blade can easily slice through the cotton. An old blade will just tear it but still effective.

No, the last time I cut some I used a Dremel with grinding disk, works well.
If you must use the scalpel, do some experiments first on the section you will cut away.
Good luck.

Yeah, that's what I had to work with. Most of my tools are in my truck.

I did get it though. Score and snap worked, just not 100% cleanly.

Run some sandpaper on that edge. It’ll cut you.

it was only about an inch tall but it looked like it was rotting so I picked it, any idea why it would only get that tall, is it to wet? not enough FAE? this is my first time attempting to grow so it been a real learning curve, here's a picture of the whole tub, looks like a few others are doing the same thing, any help would be greatly appreciated.
