Hey mush fam!

Any chance to get some fruits from bacterial bulk spawn?

Best of luck to you all!

Sure, but it depends on how severe the contamination is. Look at this shit(picture below), now this is the third flush, but I knew something was up when I sent it, the thing is that I have been trying to clean that culture(Iceberg) for over 6 months, believe me when I say I've tried everything.

Nothing would get it 100% clean, but when I saw that it was pretty decent I sent it in hopes of getting a couple of fruits to print, this culture was gifted to me as a agar wedge and I knew after a couple of transfers that I need to get back to spores with this one, worked out though

To all y'all big players, yes I took prints long before the green turned up

What a nice answer again from Kloakk!

Thank you!

I just spawned to bulk and wasnt sure that the rice was bacterial, but after few days when the boxes was colonized , ill put them to fruiting and some sour smell came from
boxes but no visible mold or something, but lets see what comes out.

---

So I could already tell in the jars that it was bacterial, but just slightly, so instead of trying to fruit out the jar I sent it with a 1:2 ratio. The real signs came after I sent it(I go to fruiting when I spawn, with cubes, ochra and semperviva).

First sign was that it was colonizing the substrate slower then usual, second it started to smell off, it didn't smell sour at all, but not that fresh mushroom smell it's supposed to either. Third sign was when it started to fruit before it colonized the whole substrate.

I just let it ride and got my prints, then just watched them closely, as soon as I saw trich it was out of the grow room, so yeah just let it ride and watch them

I would give it a couple more bottom Waters or. even dunk it for an hour maybe( if you harvested everything). If  you're going to bottom water it to re hydrate. keep putting a little bit in and let it soak it up until it stops soaking it up and then dump it out. If your mono is kind of big this might be the easier option. Cuz then you don't have to worry about dumping the water out and your sub breaking in half or falling out in the process.

I will try that. I didn't harvest fully, but the ones I left behind because the veils haven't torn yet have mostly now torn, so I'll finish harvesting this flush tomorrow (probably mostly scraping the pins and microfruit into the garbage disposal) and give it another soak.



Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate the time.

Works great for shoeboxes.  I imagine you could also do it with a mono. I've never done a mono. So I wouldn't know.

I mean I know it's possible probably just a little bit more of a pain in the ass to deal with a bigger tub

What's the latest on metal vs plastic lids?

Peleus said:

Did you get them from the european amazon or the US one?
I'm debating whether to go with weck jars which have plastic lids (or glass but good luck drilling those) or splurging on ball mason jars, but have trouble finding em in Europe.

What is an indication that a tub is bacterial?

GenesisCorrupted said:

No, it's not.
I've seen plenty of examples of people slicing Cubensis that are solid all the way through and needed to be cut to be dried all the way.

Hollow stipes is not normal.
