Those plates appear to be in fairly poor condition, and it may be more efficient to start fresh. Based on the photos, there are signs of significant contamination. It’s possible that the contamination has become intertwined with the mycelium and if this is the case it's going to be extremely difficult to clean the plates up.

What transfers would you take from these 3 plates








The last plate has visible blueing, idk if this is something i should be looking for (more potency? it is ape genetics) or if i should just stick to whatever looks more rhizo.

Any advice is appreciated :smile:


no transfers from these plates. sorry.

There is mold and bacteria there to contend with.

Plates are cheap and cultures are able to be cleaned up. Really up to you if you want the experience. Spores aren't hard to get either and trying again is no big deal.

Also afaik bluing is an indicator of psilocybin but more bluing does not necessarily mean more potency. Correct me if im wrong TCs

I'll try both and determine if its worth the extra money and time. Im just surrounded by pasture.


That will come in handy if at some point you want to grow a stronger species that NEEDS cow poo to grow.

There are some non-cube (non-Psilocybe cubensis) species of psychedelic mushrooms that require cow poo, unlike cubes.

But they are not good beginner grows, not as easy. And really don't yield more alkaloid per tub, since they are smaller. But it's something a lot of people on here do eventually.

But I asked my friend and he hooked you up with some cube spores, I'd start with that.

If money is an issue, maybe get a friend you trust to go in on expenses in exchange for some shrooms. Especially if it means you can get a pressure cooker with a gauge.

There's something special about tripping on shrooms you grow yourself. And Since you live surrounded by cow pastures, it means you're not surrounded by masses of people, which is nicer for tripping outdoors.

When you eat some be sure to look at the stars. I recommend binoculars. (NOT with our star, the Sun!)

I'm looking through the PF tek here -  Updated PF Tek Guide

When am I supposed to remove the tin foil from the jars?

Just so I understand the process, it goes -
-Fill jars with mix
-Place foil on top
-Place lid with holes
-Sterilize
-Put in SAB
(This is where i get confused)
-Remove lid and foil
-Replace lid
-Inoculate

Right?

Never mind, I figured it out. The foil goes on top of the lid rather than inside of the lid

Hey guys,

Not sure if I should post this hear or the pub. Bit of background a friend of a friend sold me a pan cyan LC for my first grow (haha I know I should of started on cubes) and told me to buy an AIO bag (I didn’t know better at the time). He isolated it on agar. I have since made agar plates, LC and inoculated poo cakes and some grain. I learnt a ton from reading and I am wiser for the process. The mycelium in the Poo cakes, AIO and grains are slow as. 8 weeks for the AIO and counting. Probably 70% colonised after breaking and mixing twice (I know now I shouldn’t have done this to I was just following the instructions I was given). I don’t think he has tested it and the mycelium might just be slow. I have some golden teacher and penis envy on the way.

So what would you do?

1. Should I stick it out and send it anyway or chuck it and get to work on the cubes I ordered?

2. Which one would you start with, out of golden teacher and Penis envy?

I realise this is an opinion piece and will probably get a lot of  stick for it. But I’m interested what the experienced guys would do? Thanks for your time

Hey Nicko T  if you have something started and are 8 week in i would stick it out and see what you learn/grow.while you wait till you get you're cubes
And start with golden teacher first

Where's applying the dry verm layer in this process?

The holes are there to give you a place to stick the needle. Why are you talking about removing the lid? Pull tape off holes, inject spore solution, replace tape.

Resident Noob here.

I found that having a "permanent" place for my SAB lowered my rate of failure. Setting it up every time I wanted to work must have been stirring things up in the air. I probably wasn't waiting long enough for the SAB to settle out either. Mine has been setup for 2+ months now. It's nice to be able to go over and work without having to wipe everything down and blah blah blah.

I wanted to share my experience since I was overcoming these issues not too long ago. Oh and I started out with the wet method, too. Scrap it. I run it dry with a baking rack in the bottom so shit has somewhere to go if I drop it. One more thing... I got a clear rubber mat for under my SAB. Makes a good seal and nothing slides on the folding table I have as a workspace.



Some of us noobs don't have space for all that. And have to get out the SAB every time, wipe molded over agar drip out of it etc etc.

'But why do these rats live like that'

And even then it's pretty straightforward to do clean work in it.

And an out of place confession: I really want an inflatable SAB, just to take pics of it, for the sole reason of fucking around, and upload those every day. Make a sticker with '100% approved by the Pig', slap it on the side, upload pics daily. Only reason I don't do it is I'm a coward.

What the people above me said

Blueing is a direct response to tissue damage, certain compounds getting exposed to oxygen and changing color. The concentration of those compounds is correlated with actives content, but not necessarily on a consistent basis. It's not generally something people try to select for directly, because the amount of blueing you actually see is dependent on the amouof tussue damaged, and the time it has to go through oxidation reactions. So, for instance, I could pick a batch of fruit with no blueing, i.e., no damage, and rip them all in half (which is something I do as standard procedure). If I loaded half of them into the dehydrator immediately, and let the other half sit out for a few hours before loading, the half that sat out would have more visible blueing. But it wouldn't mean much at all.

In the case of the blueing on those plates, I'd just chalk it up to tissue damage.

I think you misspelled "Northern Europeans" there lol

A couple years ago, NYC mayor Eric Adams did a press conference where he "revealed" a "new rat control technique." Unveiled a garbage can, and said, you know, if we stop putting bags of trash directly on the street, it'll make a huge difference.

Completely overlooking the fact that many  New Yorkers literally have no place to keep a garbage can.

Yeah I can't have words hanging out of my tiny window, so abbreviated that for a bit.

Pff I volunteered to clean up streets today, but with 25 cm snow that made for a very active day. Very active.

I only struggle with the fruiting process, my jars are clean my PF jars look great. 2 batches ago I did of 8 only 1 got contamed and I tried to save it by scooping out the black mold of 1/2 the jar but it came back strong but the mycelium patches also grew strong and have held off the mold. I have a few big circles of mycelium marshmallows where I inoculated. The black mold I think came from the dry verm when I overstuffed my pot. I have actually used this jar as an incubation jar and I put it in the middle of all my other jars for some extra warmth. The amount of moisture that is going on inside this jar is crazy and it is sweating like crazy. I made sure I tightened down the lid good.

Last 12 jars I did I only did 3 at a time in the pot instead of 4 and so far no contamination. I don't use any SAB, I flip a big monotub lid upside down and wipe it down with iso before. I do this right on top of my bed with the fan off.

My panaeolus species is so freaking picky they want everything perfect. The jar part is easy, it's the fruiting part I am trying to dial in.
