2-4 drops of spore to a plate too much??


1 drop of MSS should be more than enough. Using so much liquid on a plate increases the chance of spreading contamination around the whole plate.

Do you ever go back to streak plates more than once? Eg, take transfers, but later other colonies grow out, so take more? Or as a general rule do you just not want to dip into a plate more than once?

Going back more than once to a plate is always an option.

Whether there's a good reason to do so, is entirely up to your judgement!

Most commonly, with a multispore plate, people are just hoping to take away something clean and healthy.  So most people probably don't keep those around.

(that's the one most likely to have unwanted passengers lurking)

Yeah the problem with the tall jars is mostly gravity. They take longer to colonize allowing water to accumulate at the bottom. Typically causes a stall. If they begin to stall you can gently flip the jars over and let the water get pulled back into the substrate.. but I would only recommend it if they start to stall. Otherwise leave them be and see how it goes.


Keep in mind that the dry layer at the top is your filter and turning jars upside down isn't always your best choice. Cakes start to shrink and verm slides down the sides. Wouldn't want to spread any arrested contams in this layer.


If that's happening you're all making your cakes wrong. :crankeyclaus:
Too fine of verm and not taping holes. Probably too much brf if it's shrinking that bad.
I brag about my cakes because they don't do any of this. They rarely ever just fall out due to shrinking and I'm usually pounding to get them out lol. Verm layer moves just a little sometimes. That's the hardest part. :lol:


Now I don't want anyone to run around the OMC saying TCO says to flip your cakes all the time. I said when needed. It's an old school stall revival trick that I think has unfortunately fallen into the "debunked old info category".
I think there's a few things in that pit that have been misunderstood as the generations come and go.. like fanning. It's always been just a word. Only a few actually fanned with the lid and a few tried those little hand electric fans. :lol: but the majority were just lifting the lids when needed. Same as we do today.
The natural human need for improvement sure has caused a strange evolution in cultivation. :rofl:
A topic I should probably start a rant journal on and stop derailing the thread.

We’re about a week after pinning, my sub has been glittery but slightly dry on the sides, I’m wondering what’s causing them to grow somewhat frantically direction wise and if the blue cap in the top right is an abort- if so im wondering why.

IMO use the 280 ml jars. A light and fluffy substrate is key here. Too much/little of anything will ruin a grow.

The glitter is a slime mold. Not toxic so I'd just push them for everything they're worth. You'll want to pick them before they get slimey dark blue.

Honestly it doesn’t get much apart from when I check it due to where it is, I read most mushrooms don’t need the light to grow but it does aid in giving them a direction to grow in, should I implement a 12/12 cycle?

@TCO by glitter i meant sparkly as in moisture on the surface, but I’ll make sure to keep an eye on the slime and bluing. Thank y’all!

Ah. What I'm seeing is on the ledge of the tub wall. Unless it's verm from the sub or a light trick lol. The mold can cause your fruits to look like that sometimes. Thus my diagnosis. Could also be verticillum.

See, I didn't know "fanning" started out as just kinda burping the tub with lid removal either. Things get taken literally, especially when the majority of us started out by trying to learn through following explicit instructions. That's just how it goes when you have no foundational knowledge to work from.

Tbh, I've only recently begun to feel confident in understanding the principles enough to deviate from "coloring by numbers", so I get it.

Which actually leads me to a QQ that's related:

Adding a bit more air to a box with half developed fruits - I've seen it mentioned as a way to mitigate the added humidity held by the microclimate of the fruits, but if my fruits seem to abort, is it likely I'm overdoing it or is there something else at play?

Upon further inspection I'd say that's vert. Still not toxic. They're air chasing a little too. I'd put a light right above it. 10-12 hours a day is fine and it doesn't need to be super strong so I would keep wattage low as to not affect temps.

Give it a real good look over and make sure you dont see any warping, bulging, pitting, etc. It's important to not lose sight of the fact you're building pressure in vessel here, so any weak points are a no go.

Check the seal too and make sure it looks healthy. Looks like youre missing the rocker or is it just not pictured?

QQs:  To initiate a second flush on BRF cakes that seem a little light;  After a dunk & soak do you reapply the verm or coir layer on the outside?  Is this layer considered a "casing"?
