You sure about this?



positive

if youre reffering to "identical twins" you might wanna look into that.



You can't have identical children... But you can have the same child twice... At the same time.



Ooh. This is a clever way to describe sexual vs asexual.

What's the technique for unmodified lids? I just sterilize the 2-piece lids and flip the cap upside down, and leave the threads a little loose?



The way I saw milky do it he just used the gray plastic lids and basically just have them tightened just to where the threads begin to catch



A 12-pack of metal modified lids with filters and injection ports is the same price as a 12-pack of the plastic lids. ($23). Wouldn't the modified lids be a bit better because they would be safer from contam and could also be used for LC?



that wasnt the question.  the question was how to do un modded lids.  you dont use 2 peice lids for unmodded

modded lids are better but 2 piece lids always suck.  i wouldnt do those.  the sticker filters are kinda garbage and have to be changed all the time and SHIP's have their own issues.

i dont recommend lc for new growers. modded single piece lids with a single SFD and agar inoculation is what i recommend for new growers.

Okay... the answer is... the angle of elevation of the sun at the time of local observation divided by the square root of strawberry rhubarb pie....


:solved:


I don't know if the question has been asked yet but there's the answer. Hope it helps. :bongload:



Thanks, that really is helpful information, but I'm afraid I'm still seeing a lot of side-fumbling.



Did you make sure to secure the gerter spring to the rear part of the propeller shaft by turning the tungsten locking collar counter clockwise until it clicks into place? 

Sometimes it feels like it clicked in but if it's not fully secured then it will effect the gimble inverter.



Ah, no, you're right, I didn't.

My tungsten locking collar keeps rubbing against the squigules on the propeller shaft. Do you think lubing it with gypsum would help?



If you're all out of corn starch then it should be a suitable replacement. Remember, you want to apply it as a dry powder.

You don't want to end up like one of the assholes who wets it first. :lol:

Hell ya.  Just found a feed store close by with $12 wheat bags and $15 oats. 50lbs of course.

Not sure which one I should go for. What do you guys think? I mean maybe I'll get both. I am planning on getting in on some Tamp Stones so I just heard yesterday oats are really good for that.

If it weren't for that. Im wondering do people prefer wheat over oats?


Ps. I have never worked with either.

I’ve found that I would get larger stones much faster in coir rather than in leaving in grain jars. At least with the particular pollock culture that I have.

The jars are already inoculated and partially colonized.

I do have some healthy myc agar plates ready to go. Only about a 2-week setback I guess.



I'd get the air exchange and give them a good shake. If they've got life left in them that might be enough to get them moving again

Taking a tissue sample to agar is called cloning in our circles, but realistically is often a sampling of many different cultures cooperating. It’s not like taking a plant cutting, which is an exact dna match to the parent plant. See my post above about mono and dikaryotic pairings.

Edited to add - if you want the exact same performance, I would go back to the LC you used originally, it should contain all the same genetic info even if it represents many individual genetic lines.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking, that is was like taking a cutting from a plant. Apparently not. I don't know if I can wrap my head around this part of mycology.

Science for the win.  Also both grains for a perfect price in the same place. Might as well try them both out myself and get a definitive answer on what I like best.

I think it was on Vice. An episode on "Hamiltons pharmacopeia". I watched a  about the main leading truffle producers in Amsterdam. the  "truffle brothers". They do all of theirs in big bags.

I don't remember how big they were but definitely not as big as you have in the pic above.. I think they were more of a manageable size for distribution value and bag appeal. They may have been bigger and just broken up though. I really don't remember that well.

Anyways no point really just a little tidbit I thought was interesting.

Maybe I'll give all three of those methods of shot as well.. jars, bags, and spawn to coir.

Hey Henry

how exactly did you go about putting those in coir?

Just a quick step by step start(from innoc) to finish if you don't mind.

Just prepped a jar of grain (millet in my case because that’s what I had) LC>Agar>Grain.
Once fully colonized, not waiting for any stones to form in jar, I spawned to straight bucket tek coir (I believe I did 1:3 on the pictured shoebox). No vermiculite if you use it, it’s a pain to clean off the stones. (Ask me how I know :lol:)
 
Then just let it ride. Once the stones were breaking through the surface and large enough for my liking I pulled them out and then smoothed the surface back over and cased. Then waited for fruits.

thought you were at the start, just being dumb. those same jars? I'd personally loosen the lids a tad and let some air in. probably not dead :shrug:

doesnt matter what side you put the transfer down.





circling back to this just for community interest.

I did two transfers, one with the mycelium side up, and one with it face down on the agar.

the one with mycelium facing up is growing more uniformly, as the one with the mycelium face down seems to have focused on growing upwards and populating the rest of the transfer wedge.  it's growing in 3d vs the non-inverted one growing in 2d across the plate.  I can post pics if anyone cares that much.
