My coir bucket hasn’t been used for about six months. It still contains some old coir and vermiculite, which I’ll be disposing of. Do I need to wash the bucket before hydrating a new coco coir brick? There isn't any sign of green on the old coir/verm.


Neither coir nor verm have expiration dates. As long as there isn't anything growing on it it's fine to just use. I've had leftovers for months that I've used with no ill effect. I just hydrate a new brick on top of the leftovers when I need more.

Loose coir is stored on pallets in warehouses for months before it's even sold. I think my mother's been using the same 30lb bag of verm for a decade in her potted plants.

Golden Teacher and B+ are both beginner friendly cubes. As for gourmet, someone else will have to weigh in. I haven’t ventured that path yet.

How tight should the foil-wrapped lid be on a 500cc media bottle when sterilizing agar?  Air-tight or a little loose?  Loose makes me worry about a boil-over if it's filled to the shoulder of the bottle, but is air-tight safe?

Is it a media bottle like this?



You don't need to use foil on them. I just loosen the lid a tiny amount when pressure cooking and then tighten the lid when pulling it out of the pressure cooker.

It is, in fact, that precise bottle. Thanks for the quick reply!

The foil is to keep contaminants of the bottle as you move it from the pc to your work area

Makes sense. I've never run into any issues when not using foil but it wouldn't hurt.

Definitely don’t tighten the lid on a media bottle in the PC unless you possibly want to clean a mess of agar and broken glass from it when you open the PC. Best is to back off the lid a half turn from when it just seats on the bottle. Use either a piece of autoclave tape or loose foil to hold the lid from vibrating and opening more or closing more. I prefer the loose foil because I can grip the foil and close the lid when I’m removing them from the PC.

Are these pins? These tiny lil baby guys?😊 I'm a first time growers, all the time anxious person lol. I thought I shouldn't expect pins until the entire surface had colonized. Is this anything to worry about?

Yep, knots and pins, congrats!  Whether the surface gets fully colonized can have to do with how much pseudocasing you used and how tightly you compacted each layer--and genetics. If it is something bad causing it to pin early, there isn't anything you're going to do about it now, so just let it be and enjoy the fruits of your labors :smile:

I might start doing this with LC bottles too. Dust shield type of thing can't hurt. 🤙

Sooo.... I just did a sterile agar run, poured a sleeve of 20 plates and then inoculated a stack of 10 with a smash wedge of sporeless GT. I'm totally stoked that I got this far!

I'm noticing a ton of condensation in my plates, however. Is this going to be a problem going forward? Or should I just power through?

Edit: I followed BOD's Tek for cooking and pouring agar. I think I may have put the plates into the fridge a little too soon and next time probably won't do so at all....
