@Beef haha! I hope I didn't divulge any state secrets! I'm headed home from work now to go see if my substrate is looking good enough to send my jars. Enough already! I want to go bulk!

Edit: I'm using Viagrow brand not Vivosun.

Anyone have experience with Viagrow brand coco coir from Amazon? It's pretty cheap and seems good to me. Just spawned my first monotub with it.

On the subject of coir has anyone done any side by sides on the results of coir prepped with boiling water vs cold/luke warm?

Super lazy ask. It's been a minute, I'm very familiar with oat prep. I ran out of my oats and have a ton of whole rye! It looks just like oats.

As I understand it all I need to do is an overnight soak maybe 10 hour??) till when I cut a grain in half it appears equally hydrated throughout. Then it's good to go for the standard boil till a few split like oats right?

My standard is measure about 40% a jar of grain per jar I want in the end aiming for a hydrated fill of 65%. (Idk what fill height people go for. I was reading on scientific papers that headspace plus filter disced lids was best for pans)

~Agar~ 1000mL water = 1000g water. use ~1% agar...1% of 1000g is 10g.  For cubes, use between 1-2% nutes (10-20g). For pans use 0.5% nutes (5g).

So 2 out of 11 jars are pinning like crazy right now, they are the only 2 that are 100% colonized.

I wanted to do like 6 jars in one FC and 5 in another, is it ok to hold these jars until I have a few others jars fully colonized?

What happens to the little pins during the birth and dunk?

For rye and wheat, I do 3 quarts dry for 10 quart jars filled about 3/4 full. Use a little less if you want a bit more room in the jars.

I never soak mine. Just bring them to a boil and stop when they're just al dente (a little bit of white left in the center), strain and let the surface dry out a bit (45-60 minutes, turning a few times if possible), and load into jars. Rye always bursts more than I like, but starting with colder water seems to help. A paint strainer bag (or a brewer's bag if you have one) makes everything easier, especially once you've figured out the timing so you don't have to keep opening the bag to check doneness.

Sounds good thanks, I'll try that, as well as a small amount as an overnight soak and see if it's worth it.

Whats the security like here?
Is it safe to post pics, explaining your process ect?
Could it be linked back to someone?
Any safety precautions to be aware off?

Has anyone heard of Whyte Gold? I just happened to get a free spore print of Whyte Gold was told it is a hybrid of Rusty Whyte and Golden Halo. Did Pastywhyte create it?

Also the South African Transki spores I got come from a mushroom that looks like this will it be likely mine will look similar?

It sorta looks like a witch hat and I been interested in South African Transki but this was the coolest looking ones I seen.

@libertycaps97:

Quick answer: 
there are many related posts that exist here - try the search engine for others. 

Longer answer:
The site strips of the EXIF image info from pics during upload, so the pics are not traceable that way, as far as I am aware.  Just so, I always do that myself on my phone before upload for my own pictures, just to try to be sure. On an iphone, with picture showing in Photos app, click the little “i” in a circle below the photo, then adjust location and set to no location. Not sure how that is done on other brands/OS’s.

when taking photos, be mindful of what is in the background of your shots that might accidentally dox yourself.

I think its generally safe to describe/take pics of your grows and processing processes, just don’t post about stuff linking yourself to  buying or selling drugs.

You’ll get a better feel for it as you spend time here.

Always worthwhile to use a private VPN connection for online anonymity, but many people do not.

Glad you’re here. Peace to you, friend!

So, I had a liquid culture in the refrigerator for probably like 15months. It actually looks pretty good, but who knows? Anyway, I pulled some out with a syringe and put a few drops on a few plates to test the viability. How long does it usually take to see growth, assuming it’s still alive?

Didnyou let it sit out to warm up for a couple days? The longer you leave them in the fridge usually the longer they take to get active again.

Ime cubes take 2-4 days to get going after being in the fridge,1-2 days if at room temp. After a week of no growth from a culture I write it off

Thanks guys. I pretty much went from fridge to plate on Sunday, so two days. I’ll give it a week. I had no idea it might take that long.

Cubensis right?

The middle picture looks too puffy and marshmallow-like. The top picture has grains pressed against the glass but not in a bad way. Same with last pic.

I've had lcs in the fridge for years at a time. Thebones that sit for that long tend to take a week or more to really get active after being in the cold so long.
