Best way to clean a Media Bottle of left over agar?



Microwave it to melt it, pour it into the sink with your cold water running. Use a brush if you can to scrub inside the bottle



Media Bottle won't fit in my microwave :-(
Won't cold water help solidify the agar and maybe plug the drain?



Heat in hot water bath until liquid,  pour in trash or on the ground outside, wash the bottle with a brush and warm soapy watter or scalding hot your choice.

62mm would be too small, HGs are about 70mm. But that link you posted has a 75mm that should do the trick. Thanks!

I pour leftovers in the trash for this reason.

Place it in a pot of boiling water with the neck sticking out and the lid off.

Personally I let it solidify in the bottle and I have a jet sprayer attachment that goes on my sink sprayer that comes out in a single jet stream specifically for washing bottles. I spray out the agar with warm water into a fine mesh sink strainer and then wash out the bottle with soapy water and a bottle brush and then toss everything from the strainer in the trash. No agar down the drain, and easy peasy.

Ok Fam, I have this 16 qt tub of Hillbilly I sent the grain to bulk in on June 16th. The grain was healthy and smelled beautiful. It is now July 24 and I have no pins, but I have myc. There’s no contamination and the tub smells healthy like fresh shroomies. Today although the conditions in the tub were great, I was concerned the sub may have been a bit dry, so I injected it with 80cc of water, 10cc in 8 different spots. I took these pics after I injected the sub, so any yellow you see like the top right corner is some of the water that seeped up from the sub. Any idea on how long Hillbilly takes? Or what can I do to get this to fruit?

I picked up one of these sterilizing canisters



a while back and it's just been sitting around. I'm ready to use it though.

I know there's a few people out there I recall that have mentioned they have one.

Just curious if anybody that uses one of thes could  hook me up with any tips and tricks they might have figured out when using one.  so I don't have to do as much trial and error.

If you have one of these do you have some sort of method that you have figured out to make the best plates when using it?

Or is it just as easy as load it up and sterilize it and that's it?



The best part is there really isn't any tips or tricks.
It's very straightforward. Loaded up as full as it can go. Load it into your PC  as  flat as possible.
There should be little holes that lineup with the inside and outside when you put the cap on.




Awesome. How about the cool down. Do you just leave the cylinder in the PC until it completely cools down as well as maybe wait a week or two before opening it to let condensation dissipate?

Or do you pull them out of the cylinder at some point and let them rest somewhere else?

These are the tips and tricks I was kind of thinking I might not know of. But if none of that is necessary load  in PC as flat as possible and leaving till its cooled down is what I was hoping for.

I almost mentioned this as well. The only reason I didn't is because they're not as tall so maybe you couldn't fit as many in it. But yeah for sure check out the sterilizing boxes. They're all over Amazon as well might be able to find one cheaper than one of the lab supply website.

Search for stainless sterilization trays or boxes


Shoe boxes would work too

The one that I posted that I have is for 100 mm. I cannot remember where I got it from though. I thought it was Amazon but it doesn't appear so. I'll keep looking around if I can find a link I'll post it for you.




Cheapest I found so far. Ebay



https://www.ebay.com/itm/385833869298?


Here's one. 



Stainless Steel Autoclave Rack https://a.co/d/9RXHBge

100mm canister.  But it's fucking expensive. I do not think I paid this much. I'll keep looking for you.


And then this is just a rack. Without the canister. You could probably wrap it in foil Maybe but it's cheaper and definitely usable.

if it were mine i would mist it and keep it glistening with the tiniest beads, let them evaporate and mist again..
inject water? im not sure that was necessary. it is nicely coming along.
leaving it in peace now can be tricky but worth it :wink:

Thanks! Leaving it alone is pretty much what I’ve done. And yes, I’ve been injecting water through holes I’ve drilled in the sides of some of my totes and covered them with self healing injection ports. It has been paying off for me so far with each grow that has them. You can see one in the 2nd pic.

I’ve just never had a tub that went this long without fruiting. It’s a few days shy of 6 weeks now. The agar 100% colonized the grain in 19 days!

Please help me identify, was sent an unknown strain. The fruits were mushy but not hollow. They weighted arround 1g dried at most. The caps look like melmac. Could it be an albino melmac clone? Tnx!

Do the caps get a blue spot as they mature? I have a Casper culture that kinda looks like those, see pic in my signature.

Folks have bred probably over a hundred different cube strains.  And morphology will vary based on nutrients and conditions.

The one posted very likely has some APE genetics in it.  But outside of that :shrug:
