If you get enough of these, you'll never have to buy disposable ones again: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9551NSZ

The 60mm ones fit perfectly in wide mouth mason jars for sterilization. The 90mm ones need different handling if you strongly prefer that size (foil or mycobag or some kind of canister).

Can anyone recommend some up-to-date teks for Pan Cyans and P. Nats? Are there any other exotic species worth checking out that are suitable for indoor cultivation?

Check out the link to everything in my signature there's a ton of good links there. You'll have to scroll through and click on a few. Definitely some good pan information for sure.

You can also check out the official pan thread. You'll also find that in the link to everything in my signature.

https://a.co/d/5uSPZZx

I use these holy grails. You really can't beat them for the price. $20 for 50 and they last you forever.

I really like the screw tops as well. I don't wrap them with parafilm or plastic wrap anymore.  So Easy.  I love them

I also put them directly in my PC and fill that sucker up without any issues.



The only small downside is there a lot thicker than typical Petri dishes. So they take up more space. But the upside to that is it's really nice to use the sides for labeling. And if you're like me you can pour them extra thick.



Also I noticed I stopped losing a random plate to contamination here or there. And I think it's because when they finish in the PC. I screw them down immediately after they've cooled and that's it they're closed from then on out. Until they're ready to be used again..

Srry for the extended answer

Word, thank you for the encouragement! If I could ask one more question about the PF Tek. I read that, when I add water to the verm at the beginning, I should squeeze some in my fist and, if more than a few drops come out, I've added too much water. Should I be squeezing lightly or should I be squeezing hard? I can imagine that, with a given amount of moisture in the verm, a light squeeze would result in a few drops while a hard squeeze might result in a lot of water coming out.



Honestly that part of the tek is really confusing. You should just ignore it. Stick to the recipe as long as you you do that you'll be good.

(I wish they would just take that part out of the tek. It's an issue that comes up and is covered frequently with noobs)

Put the verm in the bowl add the water mix it up it should feel damp.

Tilt your bowl up like you're going to pour the mixture out and scoop all the verm up to the top of the bowl if you get any water dripping out to the bottom of the bowl then that's too much. You don't want to see any water on the bottom of the bowl collecting.

Then start adding your brown rice flour a little bit at a time and mix it all together. When that is done put some of it in your hand and squeeze it. When you open your hand you should be left with what looks like a little compact nugget of barley damp sand.

Before you squeeze it though. It will  almost likely appear to be too dry and fluffy.. that's okay. Thats perfect.  As long as when you give it that squeeze you see that it's now can pack together you'll see that the moisture content is there. 

Typically if you go for what Field capacity is supposed to be. in that mixture. it's going to come out too wet and every time you PC or steam them you're going to have moisture issues.

So yeah just follow the recipe to a T. Your end result should be light and fluffy sand. That  packs together like a little egg in the palm of your hand.



Ps. For all other applications like preparing bulk substrate then you're going to want to be giving the Field capacity squeeze test and that means grabbing a handful and giving it a real hard squeeze. And you would only want a few drops to come out.

Is that a decent FFU? I been getting a really large amount of contamination in my SAB 3 of 5 agar plates developed contamination. I poured more so far only one looks contamination but its a little early to tell.

Its high enough I can use the jars I like (32oz) I should be able to pour 10 plates of agar with it without so much contamination if its good.

Dont bandaid poor technique with equipment.

A majority of the mushrooms I've grown in my life came from a sab.

Thats probably not the option id go for, but without testing it I cant say.

I'm trying to stretch out my coir and picked up some vermiculite.  Usually I weigh the block around 600gm and multiply x4 for 2400mL on average.  Should I weigh my vermiculite and use a mL of water for every mg? 

What kind of recipe/ratios are you guys using for bulk substrate?

Don’t buy that.  Spend the extra $100 and get a proper h14 2x2 HEPA.  Something like this https://a.co/d/0DBAkS1

I just add verm till field capacity. I swear everyone's need for a recipe is taking the art out of cultivation

Noob here. This is my first promising grain jar. Is my grain ready to spawn to bulk? Anyone see any concerns? inoculated on 12/24 with GT. B&S on 1/13.

Also when picking a box to s2b in, is it okay if I use an old takeout plastic container? I have some nice ones that are the perfect size and cleaned in the dishwasher but don't know if there's too much risk with extra contamination at this point. Thanks!

Take out container like shoebox size? Should work, if you get the right air and moisture balance,  good surface conditions.  Certainly won't increase contam risk if your spawn is healthy. Only one way to find out for sure :rockon:

Looks good! I wouldn’t worry about contamination in the takeout container. If the grain is completely colonised and the culture is not contaminated already, then it can fight contaminants in the takeout container.

Welcome to the shroomery!

Jar looks pretty decent. I’d send that.

As far as the container, you can pretty much use whatever you want. Just make sure it allows you adequate air flow but no so much that your sub goes dry. Check out some shoebox teks or ziplock/zipblock teks.

Good luck!

What exactly are "Isolated Spore Syringes" that some suppliers offer? Are they liquid cultures or are they spores?  They are described as having "high quality consistent genetics" but how can that be achieved if there are lots of different spores in the syringe? Or are the genetics most likely from a clone? They are advertised as being much faster growing/colonizing as well which would suggest the spores have already mated/germinated? 

Thanks for helping me understand this.
