Ah man thanks, you just reminded me!!

I gotta make some newer jar lids.
Simple but annoying stuffing and pull through polyfil through a nail punctured hole in the lid. But it works! :stoned:
...and I got photos to prove it XD

I’ve been using the stickers, which mostly seem fine but sometimes get sucked into the jar during PC. I want to start replacing my lids I made early on with the SHIPs in them. I never use the SHIPs and figure it’s just one more contam vector.

My LC syringe from vendor also had little black spots. They explained that it was from the rust of the metal lid where the ports were drilled.. so far no problem on my side.


Dang sorry about the bacteria. Mine doesn't have any contamination so I figured its just the rust you were talking about I did a bunch of jars hopefully it will turn out alright. I have been thinking about making my own LC but I have never had success with LC ever before.


If you want a peace of mind then just message the vendor to confirm. What are you growing now? I am trying to get golden teacher going. How come you've never had success making an LC? It looks very easy to do and it's something I will attempt sooner than later.


Its Tresure Coast I tried making LC from spore but it didn't work out. When I have mycelium on agar I just throw it in grain I got 7 types of cubensis, 1 Panaeolus cyanescens and 1 zapotecorum currently but I plan to try way more in the future.

I would spend 3 weeks building LC by then my grain can G2G if I used agar on it. I just find LC not necessary but premade stuff seemed appealing.

Speaking of LC, when you put LC onto agar to make sure that it's not contaminated, what's the best practice? Just one drop in the middle or quadrant streaking or smearing it?

I've been thinking about this question a lot. So much that I'm starting to wonder if I've already asked it but if I did I don't remember the answer so forgive me if this is a repeat. 🙏

Hm.....sounds like they sent you a spore syringe that germinated in the syringe....are they black spots? Or rust colored spots?

are those things ptfe?  how thick?

looking at the reviews pictures they look like very thin filters.  do they seem to be very re-usable?  my other ones lasted 10+ years, still running

They are the thicker ones. Like a mm or 2

They're small and irregular shaped.

Kinda looks like spores to me, but usually if I leave asyringe for that long where it's c9lonized that much, you don't usually see the spores still. Spores can be clumpy and stick together so they can look weird shaped.

Hmmm I don't know who to believe now. Can you tell if they're truly spores by looking at my plates?

The spore company I get my LC from has this info on their site "I have started adding activated charcoal to my LC syringes. Activated charcoal is anti-bacterial in nature, extends the shelf life of the syringe, and helps stabilize the mycelium inside the syringe. Be sure to shake your syringes before use"

I don't know if that is correct, it is what they do. You might want to ask where you got yours if they do something similar.

Even if you fail, success is the knowledge gained along the way.

Leave the lids slightly loose, hold them in place with a small piece of autoclave tape, cover loosely with foil to protect the filter from liquid pooling on the lid, let cool in PC until depressurized, move to SAB box with gloves, let fully cool in SAB, remove foil and tape and tighten lids inside the SAB. Since I started doing that, I haven’t had single sticker get sucked in or damaged and haven’t had a single jar contaminate before inoculation. I have jars sit for 3 months before using them.

Edit: I also use the plastic lids with the silicone gaskets. Sone people toss the gaskets.

i mean that is nice advice to get by with what y'all have, but with a full wide mouth sfd and 1/4" hole drilled in a mason jar lid, i haven't used any tape or tin foil lately.  sounds like a lot to tape and foil.  I used to do tin foil and re-use it for a long time, until I realized I didn't need to, and stopped. 

am i the only one to just put the lids on with sfds and the water content seems just fine.

I would just use one drop, squeeze the barrel, not the plunger to have control. Wrap the plate and that drop should have already streaked itself :lol:

There’s definitely more than one way to skin a cat. As long as our spawn is clean, whatever lid tek we use is largely irrelevant, though always debatable.

I like the simplicity of the stickers. They work well. But I was going to buy some new plastic lids so I can get rid of the black SHIPs. I don’t inject anything into my jars so they are pretty much useless. I was just asking about the SFDs because I was reading a couple of Kloakk’s statements about the GE being crappy with the stickers. I think I saw Beef mention that, too. I’ve had faster jar colonization with unmodified lids, so I think they are right about the GE being poor. Both of them grow better than I do, so I figured I’d use their preferred lid tek.

Makes a lot of sense. But just to be clear, the idea is to streak the plate in one way or another so that you can make sure to pick up a really clean colony to subsequently germinate?

Yo astro,  sup punk?

I get my sfds from shroomsupply.com

They are great quality and not expensive at all. Can get them in all sorts of different sizes as well.

You can get them  pre-cut to whatever size you like. They also have the really good quality sticker ones as well.
