I've heard that B+ just has issues with highly variable potency, but hearsay ain't worth much. Especially for something that's been around as long as B+, coming from goda knows how many different sources. It's best to do the agar work and taste-testing yourself regardless.

Well, in my experience it's true, but my cultures typically prefer their coir lightly sauteed in olive oil with a bit of minced garlic.

when im doing transfers between plates do I want to invert the inoculant wedge so the mycelium is face down on the new plate? 

also still looking for guidance on cloning dry fruit.  otherwise Im just gonna soak something in clean water and put some of it on a plate.

doesnt matter what side you put the transfer down.

ime i could only clone dried tissue from non dehydrator fruits.

I didn't apply a top layer and I notice there is pretty good fae and evaporation taking place before full colonization. I don't want to reduce FAE and I mist as needed, enough for little droplets to form on the mycelium.

Question is: Can this stall colonization?

So I bought a bag of producers pride oats before I knew how shit it was. I've been rinsing multiple times and then discarding all the floaters.

Doing this a 50lbs bag is probably gonna end up being like 25lbs of usable oats. Anyone using producers pride? And if so is this along the lines of what you are doing?

I'm super new and still figuring this out BUT I have these oats. I have washed them in a mesh bag 3x to get them clean using 3-hour oat prep. Also, I have put them in jars with water, shook them, then strained 2x to get clean using Yoshi's low-prep grain tek. I left all of the extras in. We'll see where it lands. 4 jars are ok so far. 100% colonized using leftover metal two-piece lids with 4 holes and 2 layers of store brand micropore tape for filters.

What up SpaceDawg! As a newer member, welcome back. I use PP oats from TS too. I soak them for about 12-15 hours first. It gets rid of some floaters. Then I rinse the fuck out of it because it is filthy and dusty AF. I rinse it in a mesh strainer that holds about a quart at a time. Then I pop all the clean oats back into the pot fill it with water and stir it up real good and make a couple passes with a smaller strainer to get rid of the floaters, grass & hay. Out of 6-7 quarts of dry oats, I loose about a wet quart, give or take, of oats. It’s not that horrible. I find a few pieces of corn too here and there after a 20 min simmer. I also use 50% oats, 25% rye and 25% wheat. It has worked for me for everything I’ve put to it so far. Including pans, ochra, stones (ATL7/P Mex Gal) & TTBVI. I also prep the rye and wheat along with the oats. So in short I do like the PP. Also I had an issue with weevils earlier this year, but it was basically because I left it in the bag it came in. I tossed that, bought a fresh bag and vacuum sealed it in 5 pound bags. No weevils since.

Thanks for the the tips guys. I've been using BOD's Easy AF OAT prep tek I've  noticed most the floaters are just hulls with no grain inside. Figure its just better to get rid of those. I could very well be wrong though.
I've also been finding a decent amount of dead bugs and other shit in my bag :lol: I'm going to check out the teks you linked Gil. Maybe give those a go next time.

I like the idea of the 50/25/25 oat/rye/wheat AZ. might give that a go. Better get to experimenting!
But you're right It really isn't too bad. I used to use WBS which I feel have equally extensive prep.....If not more?

PP is so cheap I'm gonna run through this bag and reevaluate.

My prep is just as I mentioned. After I simmer, I drain the grains, then I lay out a towel on my counter and pour all the grains on that. I spread them around with a large serving spoon (that I also stir the grains with) and let them steam dry themselves while the towel soaks up any excess water. Then I just load them into quart jars with modified plastic lids. I leave the lids loose, and use a piece of autoclave tape to hold them in place, foil the tops loosely, then load ten into a 23 qt presto. I pc them for two hours. Then after they cool in the pot overnight, I take them out and immediately tighten the lids, breaking the tape and I dry them. I move them to my SAB where I remove the foil & remove the tape. This is just to check that filter disks are all ok. Every now and then one gets sucked in slightly and I have to replace it, which is done in the SAB. However since I started using autoclave tape to hold the lids, I haven’t had that issue. I also taste my grains before I turn off the simmer. I check to to see that that are firmish outside with a pop when I bite, and soft and moist inside. They kinda taste like oatmeal and rye bread!

How did you get it wet? I figure its splash proof but not soak proof. Same with sfds



They use it to wrap houses that are in construction. To protect the wood from all sorts of weather/elements including heavy rain.

I don't know if there's a difference in that tyvek or the one you are using or the ones they make paint suits out of or not.

But I imagine it should be able to withstand water pretty well as long as it's not like submerging in it like trip stated. And should also dry off pretty quickly.

I mean if you read the rest of what I said I actually stated there is absolutely no proof to back up what he's saying it's just his words. And also that because of that there is no reason other than I read it and I've been following it. I also stated boiling water is in fact completely unnecessary.

All I was trying to do was show you why and where I got my reasoning and info from.

The whole time I have agreed with you.
Basically saying the exact same thing as you including definitely a bold  unsubstantiated claim by him.

Lots of people trust the TC's around here.  Just as I trust what you're saying right now.

His happened to be the first thing I read and I followed it ever since because he's highly respected and he does it this way and his grows.  are good. Lots of people follow teks around here specifically for those reasons I just stated..

hence why I started following it. And as well as why I recommended it.

Honestly I think the only issue with everything here is the insulated cooler costing more money than a bucket. so other than that who really cares about all of this it honestly makes no difference other than hotter or boiling water helps the coir expand quicker I believe..

I am actually curious though do you have any proof or evidence to back up that boiling water/"cooked coir" is in fact completely  unbeneficial and unnecessary 100% like you are saying there is none to prove that it is.

Cuz if not then you are also making just as much as a  highly unsubstantiated bold claim.

And the only point to this conversation is the insulated cooler is more expensive than the bucket.

Well...the fact that people have been using cold water for years now sorta supports the theory

People have also been using hot water. Those basically cancel each other out that's not really good enough to support a theory. I'm asking for evidence like he was saying is all. He told me that boiling Waters completely unnecessary and un beneficial. So I'm asking is there actual proof of the opposite. Otherwise yes we all have been using either cold warm or hot water and it all works.

And if there's no proof of either then both of the claims are very unsubstantiated and pointless.
