Giving back always comes to mind. I plan on doing that once I am able to.

Participate in discussions with integrity, and do your best to learn the craft.  Try to get to the point where you can produce clean spore prints, verify your technique by growing from prints you’ve made yourself, and once you are convinced your prints are clean, make extras to share with the community.

Pay it forward when you can, however you can.  This forum’s a great place to share experiences, ideas, and genetics with likeminded people from across the globe.

Conduct yourself with honesty and humility. A lot of new members seem to think bragging and chest-beating will earn them respect.

The opposite is true. There's a huge pool of people here that almost never grow tired of answering the same questions over and over again. Analyzing the same mistakes. They develop very sensitive antennae for noobs that are really eager to learn. And, on the other hand, for people who wish to learn but behave like complete assholes about it.

Most people here carry big burdens from the past, or life in general, and everyone is on drugs. Don't shame yourself for any weirdness in your character or upbringing. But please bring a nice attitude. Lesve your ego at the door. You know, we happen to cultivate just the right med for that.

And if you can miss it, buy a shitload of international stamps and keep the International Culture Exchange System running.

've not done shoebox before and I didn't use a liner for some stupid reason. Getting a lot of side pins and now bottom pins. I'm misting a few times a day (when I can see the surface is drying).

It's pure coir and when I tried the 5:1 water ratio is was way too wet and I had to squeeze water out to get it to field capacity. I felt at the time I might have got it too dry. But I could be wrong there and just obsessed about that.

I know it's too shallow too, obvs.

The boxes don't seal super tight so just got the lids on full and even then the surface will lose the dewy droplets after a few hours. It's winter here so have heating on, causing quite dry ambient RH.

My previous bulk grows were a very long time ago so I'm vague as to what everything, including the fruit sizes, should look like.

What do you guys think? Looking normal? If too dry, should I consider a bit of bottom watering? Thanks

Did you compress the sub with a tile float? Works great and I rarely see side or bottom pins the first flush, but it still happens from time to time, not a problem.

For field capacity you can multiply the coir weight in grams with 4,2, that will give you the amount of water in ml.

650g dry coir x 4,2ml =2730ml of water.

Tub looks fine, but if it seems dry, bottom watering is probably better now that the surface is colonized.

Everything looks good to me I wouldn't worry about it. Just mist to keep surface conditions optimal. I always used fae holes even in my shoeboxes tho.

How worried should I be about a crack in the bottom of an agar plate?

Edit. It’s for a LC test plate

Not worried at all. The LC growth on top will show up long before any growth appears on the bottom, if at all.

I seem to be getting trich on every single tub I send now. Not sure if its my DIY flowhood (all my agar plates seem to be contam free for the most part), or the martha tent I have everything in right now (due to space issues a.k.a. my wife getting annoyed that there is mushroom stuff everywhere). Just can't figure it out but its been waaaay too long since I had actual mushrooms growing and it sucks.

I guess I could take everything out of the martha and give it a good clean with some bleach cleaner but wouldn't all the bags, jars, plates etc have the trich on it

You could have literal visible mold growing on your Martha and that's not going to be the cause of the contamination. Post some pictures of your finished grain and some of your plates that you think are good as well.

Mycokyle, yes you can prep new coir over existing.

This was the plate I used. I don’t have pics of the grain obviously because I s2b. I guess I’ll come back here and post a grain jar I think is done just in case for the next one.

Plate looks ok. But spots like this can be concerning. It can be an indicator that it's trying to work around something.

Side question... Why does your ochra plate say "Poland" haha. Did you just get it from someone in Poland? But yeah start posting some grain pictures. This is really the most difficult part and crucial part of it all. This is where people fail the most and overlook.
