Why is this pin split?

Also deos the rest of the cake look healthy ?




I noticed the wall of the closest to the split has no water droplets on it.


Splitting on the stems in my experience is a genetic thing.

Sometimes caps split if they want a misting. Surface of the cap gets dry, growth continues, then they split. Can also be genetics

Your grow looks good. Just keep the course and it'll work out nicely :cool::mushroom2:

Take the lid off and snag a pic please. Let's see those surface beads of water. A quick picture with the lid off won't hurt anything:rockon::mushroom2:

It's just when someone went to a thread to share a picture but also wanted to reply to someones post. They reply and then they say tax to point out the rest of their post is unrelated to the reply. It all just avoids double posting which we really shouldn't do.

Contamination, you won't find uniform growth like that from spore streaking. Since it's laying outside of the streaking is another give away.

yea not growing from the streak was what i was thinking too.
but i sure can hope right haha.

fuck man 70 plates and still nothing. getting kinda frustrated. the beginning i had plastic loops so i thought it’s that.

but i just cant get anything to germ. maybe cause the spores are so old aswell. very discouraging. just poured some more plates let’s see how we go.

That's super frustrating, hang in there friend:hug::mushroom2:

It's going to get better, you are putting a lot of energy into the craft, at the very least your sterile technique is going to keep improving which is a major win.

Sounds like it's time to order some spores or get a new print off the marketplace. You deserve to work with fresh genetics that will give you germination.

When I first got into this, the first LC I got gave me growth, but it was so entangled with some kind of mold that it never grew any fruits. No matter what I tried there was no separating the contamination. I threw away dozens of jars, and well over 100 plates. It's heartbreaking when all you want is a little success.

You got this my guy, time for a fresh start:mushroom2: I'm happy to hear you are remaining hopeful:rockon:

Type tween 20 in search engine. There's a tek here on shroomery to germinate stubborn spores 🙏

I highly recommend doing some BRF pucks. Touch a sterile swab to your print- just a touch- and jam it in the puck. Here's the Rev's Pristine BRF Puck tek.

If the spores are really really stubborn here's Stipe's Polysorbate 20 (tween 20) tek Bloodsson mentioned.

70 plates with no growth and only that one plate has shown contamination so far? If that's the case, then your spores are pretty damn clean at least! Take a cotton swab and cover that thing with as much spores as possible. You want it very spore dense! But that swab underneath the agar and leave it there permanently. You want it fully submerged. Smash it in good! Wrap your plate up and set it aside.

Spores don't all go dormant together, at the same time. So maybe you have a spore print with only 90% of it dormant. Well spores, in numbers, help spores germinate. So you really want volume here. Set it aside. It could take upwards of even 3 months to germinate or more.

Other methods mentioned as well can work too; tween 20, BRF pucks. Even a warmer plate incubation has helped before, but it's also perfect for contamination to thrive too. Nothing is ever guaranteed of course. I've had success and failures with all these methods.

I have a question:

My house is contam Disneyland. We have a shower leak and theres some serious water damage to the floor around the shower, which has lead to the carpet on the hallway next to the bathroom to always be wet. I also found some serious mold, or rotten carpet in a closet that hadnt been opened in months.

The question: Should my priority be getting a LFH? I also want a pressure cooker but money is tight and I need to pick wisely what to get first.



Thanks lovely strangers from the internet

If I were in your shoes, first I'd disinfect every spot of contamination you can find — for your own health.

After that, I'd air out the place really well.

Try to fix the shower leak — I'm sure you'll find a way.

And finally — I'd go for a PC before an LFH, because a flow hood won't do you much good if you can't sterilize properly. You shouldn't have any issues working with a SAB.

Hugs :heart:

Yeah I tried cleaning the house, but its never ending until the shower issue is sorted.  I moved in here in March and Ive been doing what I can. Its 2 of us living here, me and a mate, his family owns the house.

But they are clearly slacking taking care of the shower, which will only end up in more damage.

But oh well... The amount of ISO I use every time I do some transfers or agar to grain is insane. Yeah I use a SAB with a decent success rate. I did 14 grain bags last time and 3 ended with contam. So around 80% success rate. I am a noob so my technique could be questionable too.

Thanks for replying man! I will make an effort and do a deep clean around the house this weekend =)
