When I try to suck liquid culture into my syringe, it's a real struggle to overcome the vacuum and for a good ten seconds afterward it automatically squirts out the needle. I'm using a 19-gauge needle and 20mL syringe, because that was all I could find at local pharmacies, and I'm wondering: is it the too-small needle or the too-large syringe that causes this problem? In the past I've used a 10mL syringe with a 16/18-gauge needle and that worked just fine, so I figure it must be one of those things. Either that or the negative air pressure inside the jar after removing some liquid, but the LC jar has a synthetic filter sticker which I believe should let the pressure equalize quickly.

Related: any Australians know of a good place to buy 16/18-gauge needles and syringes? They don't seem to be listed anywhere I can see, I had to go into a pharmacy in person and ask for them, kept behind the counter. And the medical supply shop I called only sold them in packs of 200 for $200, which is a bit excessive for my purposes.

Fastest setup to grow minimum mushrooms?



Several people on this thread say x7x+ is the fastest growing variety. Grows especially fast on agar, and I think that's what you need it for, doing experiments with a microscope and telling them to "KISS! MAKE BABIES!"

3 giveaways in my sig line. This one includes a bonus variety.

Hell, get one of each and look for genetic differences in different people's grows, if you're pheno hunting.




It’s been in the works since I messaged you that one time lol.
This is my X7x+ master plate I got out because she gon get some action tonight 😛

This is why people use stirring bars.
That way, you can pulverize your LC into tiny pieces before trying to pull it into the syringe otherwise it almost immediately clogs. It pretty much always clogs, but it takes longer. And you don't have to apply as much force to get it to start pulling again.

What happened to your 16 gauge needles and 10 mL syringes? They’re easy to sterilize and reuse. I’ve worn the graduation lines off mine.
I use 14 gauge transfer needles. 4 inches long so I cut them down to whatever length I need.  The picture is of my MacGyver’ed biopsy needles. It’s the only picture I can find.

Any idea what this is?
I did G2G from the same jar of grain to 8 jars of fresh grain. The other 6 jars are perfect but these 2 have this black stuff in them.
Why would only 2 get contaminated out of the eight? All jars were hydrated and PC'd at the same time. All transfers were done in the same SAB at the same time also.



Aspergillus niger. :thumbup:

Four 330ml PF cakes to 3 L coir and 1 L top layer. Day 15 today.

Yesterday



Today



Doesn't look too dry? Need more FAE?

Today I noticed these little green-gray dots you can barely notice them.





What type of mold is this? And can something be done without making it worse?

I'm always listening to aggressive music. Work, hobbies, commute. The only time it really changes is when I'm hanging with the family.

Usually psytrance, instrumental psychedelic, or a storytelling podcast if I'm deep in it.  Headphones required.  What do you listen to?

Usually Tool. But I listen to Tool enough for my gf to accuse me of being autistic. I'm not one of *those* Tool fans though, so dont worry.🤣 I'm surprised I dont hear more mention of them around here, considering how hard it slaps while tripping. 10/10 would recommend if you're unfamiliar.

I listen to pretty much everything. From the girliest pop to metal to rap to musicals to Divorced Dad Rock to punk to 2000s EDM to country etc.....

Driving for a living really forced me to step out of my music comfort zone.

It led me to something like this:

Usually psytrance, instrumental psychedelic, or a storytelling podcast if I'm deep in it.


Also a big psytrance fan.

I also like audio books and folk music.  But mostly I listen to the hum of fans, foggers, and flow hoods while working.  Along with the sound of my gears spinning up my next project.

Speaking of, does anyone know if experiments have been done using bottom layers?  I remember the old res tek with verm on the bottom.  Read something similar was done with agaricus.  Grains on top of perlite that were cased.

Planning a pan bisporus experiment (as usual).
