Ok. I have stir bars in the jars and hit them every other day. Never did this before. Expanding some syringes I bought just for the experience.

Does the culture stop growing at a point?

Pull clean, and oil the gasket, if there is any steam coming out of the sides of it (unless the manual says thats how it's supposed to work [one of my old Mirros did]) there is a problem.

Careful with your kitchen bombs kids.

Is this growth normal for semps? Inoculated 28.06, shaken 02.07



Used a plate that looked like this one but more even circular growth. This one seems to have stalled and isn't colonizing more of the plate.






Looks good to me. That's what my jars look like. I had some that were also thicker and I've seen thicker but mine looked like that and I was given the go ahead.

It's still pretty early though. My jars you see in that picture have been sitting there for 5 months. I expected them to be a lot thicker but maybe it's just a genetic thing. So I don't know if letting them sit longer will make them look thicker. But it is said that it'll help them pin quicker the longer you let the jars consolidate. Not proven but seems to be the case for the most part.

I guess it's said consolidating for an extra month or two could be the difference between two to three weeks in pinning time.


Your agar looks perfect though too that's definitely how it should be looking. Here's a pics of mine. Check out the last one that doesn't have food diet. Looks exactly like yours.











The jars you see on the rack are all semp.

The very last picture was one of them broken up. You can see it scared the shit out of me cuz it looks all black and moldy. But I was told that that's normal and not to worry. And they were right cuz it recovered perfectly and that's the one that gave me my badass tray.

Thank you, that's a relief. This is my second go around, the first time was just 2 jars and I didn't wait long at all after they were colonized. The tubs molded out very quickly after I spawned them so I wasn't sure if I was just growing mold on agar. Sounds like a long term project so I'll use the remaining plate from the photo to start more jars.

Where there's a will there's a way, I guess the hardest part would be sterilizing grains :uhoh:

I replaced my rubber ring on my Presto 16 quart, model 01755,
after 4 years. I replaced it about a year ago. 

I've had to tighten a few things on the PC in that time too. Had leaking steam out a vent, which was fixed by tightening the vent inside and outside the lid.

Use a wrench but fold some paper towel or use a hand towel to grip it, that metal safety vent on top of Prestos is soft metal and will deform if you wrench it without that.

If you oil the rubber ring it do NOT use machine oil. Use mineral oil. It sill still smell like burning mineral oil for the first PCing, but that's not as bad a burning machine oil smell in your kitchen / home. 

I think the model number should be somewhere on the PC, or the lid. Get a rubber ring specific to that model. Check amazon / ebay.

Do you mean without them knowing?
Maybe.

Or do you mean without all their people germs contaminating the grow?
Not an issue if you do it right.

Or do you mean them sneaking in your room and stealing them one by one?
Possible.

Need help detecting contamination. These aren't growing in a uniform pattern or look weird in some areas.

Reishi

x7x+






x7x+ I'd transfer from plate 3, from between 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock. That looks best and is even a little rhizo (which is easier to tell from fluffy, so I prefer it.)

I too have never grown Reishi but from a general mycleium point of view, I'd transfer from that anywhere from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock.

Fastest setup to grow minimum mushrooms?

Basically I want to speed up colonization as much as I can and get a small flush fast. Fruits are for spores so idc about how many.

I’ve seen fhats bags kinda wanna try those, but is pf tek faster?
Obviously a shoebox your looking about a month from spawn to harvest.

I’ve thought about just putting coir on the top of the grain jars and putting a bag over it.

Thoughts?

No as long as your filters are adequate.


If you’re opening the jar up and shit and the filters aren’t proper you may have some issues but if everything right you’re all good

A+ and AA+ are not albinos but leucistic.



A+ also drops spores.

As for the albino question, I don't know. I find albino shrooms very firmly in the Uncanny Valley.

I want to like them, I'm proud of y'all for growing awesome tubs of them, but they're creepy to me. Like fucking ghosts.

This is what my brain thinks a shroom should look like....which look much like the ones we used to pick on cow poop in Texas in the 80s.
