What brand tent?

It's a Secret Jardin, Lodge 160, but I believe AC infinity and others make them as well, in different sizes :awesomenod:

I only use induction, works just fine. My 10 L PC works on the 1900 and 2100 Watt hobs, I just don't set them as low as possible once the correct pressure is achieved. Like, with gas I'd turn down the knob to the lowest setting. But with induction 'stationary' is 6/9. Otherwise pressure will slowly drop. 5/9 is enough to boil water, so I guess there's just a very slight output difference between 5 and 6.

I'm loving my induction plate. The timer built in is amazing too. Didn't feel like pouring agar last night so just left it on warm setting with the timer 😎

Let’s never use ChatGPT as a knowledge source. Plenty of real resources available.

ChatGPT is trained on a lot of things, but one it's known to be trained on is Reddit.

Reddit shroom threads have constant misinformation all the time.

It's because no one there will correct a wrong statement, and if they do, they get shouted down by noobs because they like the phrasing or user name of the wrong statement, or some such thing.

I've seen a well written, detailed tek here on Shroomery get 10 likes, and on Reddit, I've seen a totally bullshit shroom post written by someone who sounds like they've never even grown a shroom get over a thousand upvotes.

A lot of people on Reddit live for the upvotes. It's not such a big deal on Shroomery (thankfully)

AI is going to weight the upvotes as some indicator of "correctness", so....yes, let's not use ChatGPT for shroom tek info.

I'm not anti-AI, I'm anti using ChatGPT for shroom tek info.

This is my first grow. It's Machine Elf in a ziploc.

Are these ready to harvest? Largest fruits are about 5cm/2in high and 2cm/1in thick.

I'm not exactly sure what this variety is supposed to look like or how to tell it's ready. Any tips would be much appreciated!

congratulations!

Tents are great! I use mine as a clean room and have two sets of dreamer tubs inside I can set up and run or just put monotubs on the shelves. Mine is a Gorrila 5×9.

I have always wondered how you guys get the agar pieces out of those punches. Do they just pop out with a little side tap or do you have to push it out from that opening?

Usually they just stay on the plate and you then pick it up with the point of your scalpel. If it sticks in the punch, you just use the tip of the scalpel to pop it out back on the plate or to where you’re transferring it to. I flame sterilize the punch, but be careful because they do retain heat. I usually alcohol wipe it, then flame it for a few secs with a torch lighter.

I've always thought that using those punches for agar just seems like a pain in the ass.

It's just more things to clean and handle when i can do everything i need with a scalpel.

Just seems like so much extra to me.

I agree with that it is an extra thing to handle and it can be a pain. However, I love the way the round samples grow so uniformly round on the plates receiving the transfer. Also 8mm rounds fit beautifully into 2ml cryovials.

Sorry to selfishly bump this, but was hoping for an answer. 🫣😶‍🌫️

ACC. A genetic that produced a 210g specimen that a fellow shroomerite sent me a wedge to work with. Put it on agar, then A2G, then 2:4 ratio to coir with a 1/2” of coir top layer. Got some pins and never worked with anything like this before. What am I looking at, pins or blobs? What do I do next?

I seem to get round growth from clean transfers so matter what shape i cut them in. I've made this argument before :lol:
