Someone please help me. This been driving me insane.

I had strange looking growth so didn't transfers to BRF pucks. Growth looked much better, at least to me. Now I did transfers to new plates 7g mea 10g agar per 500 ml.

Same looking growth again. I did open a plate and the agar felt very hard. Only thing I could think would be a got new agar powder. Could it be that my new agar powder is making my plates to hard and the mycelium is having a hard time colonizing the plates?

I've got to run to work, but the concentric circles part of this is normal. Difference in variation.

Puffy one (3) that didn't grow far may be contaminated.

Someone else has time to chime in wit the rest?

First time grower here. I wanted to grow nats in 2 tubs.
What is the best room (in a small apartment) and setup to place the tubs in when they are fruiting?

Should I place a small grow tent inside the shower?
Above my fridge?
On the table in the kitchen close to the window for more fresh air?


Either is fine.

Grow tents are antiquated (caveman tek) and not needed. Grow in a shoebox plastic tub with lid upside down.

Read the one recommended (Hitchhiker'...)  plus read "from spores to trips" in my sig line.

Welcome.

Tents are overkill for domestic cubes but they're not antiquated.  Just not needed and not worth the investment, unless you plan to do gourmets or exotics too.

Sorry for putting this here. I can't post in the correct topic due to new account and VPN. But I got to ask.

Need suggestions for storing and hiding dried fruit 3.5 Oz or ~100g so that it won't be found during a surprise/unexpected raid.

Examples:
- Make frozen chocolate
- Hide in apartment complex
- Hide in the forest

...

If you’re That paranoid and/or have that much heat on you, this might not be the hobby for you.

If you have a cultivation question fire away, but don’t directly ask us to help you commit a crime.

Yea, if you're expecting a raid, dont keep drugs at your house.  Ive never once worried about a raid because i dont associate with people who would put me in that position. Most people aren't concerned about mushrooms

I tried using a proper sous vide with circulation and had similar result. Prob just need a bit more time or temp. 



A proper sous vide will properly prep 6qts worth of rye at 150F in about 100-110 min at my house. If the IP "sous vide mode" doesn't circulate, then it's just an expensive water bath. Use a brewing bag for the grain, start with hot tap water, don't start your timer until it comes up to temp.

tryptkaloids said:
A sous vide isnt the most even heating unless there's a good surface area. Try getting it well preheated before adding grain


A real sous vide has some of the most even heating available. I usually add the grain as I start it up, but it only takes 15 min or so to reach temp from 135F+ hot tap water.

Come on y'all, these things are under $100 US.

Hey friends, I'm about to toss some grain jars in the pressure cooker. Should I do the flat lids normally or upside down? Obviously upside down will make for easier inoculations but does it increase the risk of contam to any significant margin?


--------------------
Where to start?

Are your plates clean?

I was thinking about a loose pot of grain with them all settled at the bottom. Id imagine in a setup like that the top would reach temp before the bottom

If you do two piece ring and lids they will seal if you use them as normal.  I'm not a fan of unmodified, so :shrug:

By that point it might be multi-species :lol:

It's the same as if it was a fresh streak plate, very multi.

I use mine upright, but they have a full sfd blocking the seal. Haven't noticed much difference between modded and unmodded lids with that setup

They're modded. Doing bods easy AF. Went back and looked and saw they were all white side up in his pics. My lack of critical thinking astounds me sometimes :facepalm3:

Yeah, prying those seals up when you're trying to do sterile work isn't great.
