Is there anything you can add to casing, pre or post pasturization, to help reduce/prevent cobweb mold?

follow up: should you transfer faster if you have some contam on the og plates?


Anytime from big enough to before the plate is fully colonized is what I do. If it's a T0 spore plate I like to take transfers before the different germination spots merge.

And yes if there's contamination on a plate take transfer asap :rockon:

As soon as you want to, ideally before it hits the wall so you can still get the leading edge of the myc. But it depends what you're doing with it. If you're chasing rhizo growth, it matters more where you're transferring. Lower nute agar will pull the ropier growth out more since it has to hunt harder for food.

re contams: if they're on the same plate, and not touching, yes asap. If theyre on the current plate and fighting, sometimes the myc will outrun on a longer timeline and later is better, but you can always do one transfer now and come back for seconds later if things change. If there were contams on the parent plate but your current plate looks clean, meh, no hurry IMO.

So uhh is orangeish color natural for cube mycelium? Or some kinda bacteria hitchhiking? Something bad bad? It doesn't look like it would prevent it from fruiting as it's pinning on the plate ๐Ÿ˜…

I have a shoebox of Hillbilly Pumpkin, it has a few squat bulbous pins forming, but also seems to be blobbing a fair amount. Never dealt with a real blobby culture before this, my question is,

Is it normal for blobs to be accompanied by amber/yellowish droplets (look the same as the moisture beaded surface but with a hue) or is it more likely bacterial?

It smells fine.

Blobs are normal for some varieties, metabolites sounds like it's fighting bacteria, a picture would help.

Have you tried face plunges in ice water? The mammalian dive reflex is a great mechanism for breaking out of the loop for a moment. The rapid bradycardia it induces is impressive:



Itโ€™s not a cure-all, but it helps in critical moments (just another tool in the box). And if not... Do more PF-Tek!

It will pass, sending you all my good vibes. :heart:

Big hug, Cakewonder! :hug:

P.E.  ..., The envy of the peen lol or that is what it was labeled as it does very much look like the ones you showed but slightly different so I'm not sure it could have been mislabel it was not very strong and I see many ppl say pe is usually very potent.

Actually if you want that thing to be quieter.. what we do is add more to our jiggler.

Tape a couple quarters on top or use a few magnets.

It'll make it wiggle a lot less. sometimes even barely to none. But it's still releasing a little bit. just enough every once in awhile to be okay.

This will also raise the PSI usually up to about 18 is still very safe to run on our PCS. 

Now I've never used a hawk big boy. I'm speaking about my Presto
.
but I imagine it's the same concept.


Anyways adding weight and actually stopping the jiggle can make your PC almost completely silent after the vent.


Only down side I see is you don't have a gauge to monitor how high your PSI is climbing.

funny cuz it's if you don't add extra weight.  the gauge doesn't matter. They can be inaccurate anyways.

The wiggle of the weight does show that you're at 15 psi.

So I'm not sure how you monitor your rising pressure after adding weight without a gauge. And that'll just depends on how accurate or calibrated the gauge is depending on how many times it's been used.


However I would say that from the experience of everybody else I've seen and myself.  if you just go with two quarters you should be fine and shouldn't be getting above 18 psi.

But thats just what i imagine. Please take it with a grain of salt.



Oh but definitely crank the heat as low as you can while still maintaining pressure. After event.



great comment man, thanks

Yes my PC has a weight/jiggler

I have read about some people here adding a bit of extra weight to it to reach a higher PSI.

To be honest... the thought of altering how the PC was designed makes me a bit nervous. I have HUGE respect for PC man... call me a wuss but I am just too scared of something going wrong.

On my next run I will fully turn the heat down and see if that achieves a constant wiggle of the weight with not so many bursts/vents.

If someone using the same PC as me says they do the trick of adding extra weight to the jiggler and it works fine, then I would consider it.

But again, thanks for your suggestions!

It's completely normal, 0_tonin.

If you haven't used a PC before, itโ€™s pretty scary at first. I remember when I bought my first PC and yeah โ€” loading it up with metal and glassware scared the shit out of me. I thought the aluminum foil was going to block the release valve... And I was living in a loft back then, with the kitchen in the living room.

After a few runs, you'll relax. :paradisiscoolwhat:

Aupa!

Edit:
Hey, does anyone know anything about Matias Romero? I canโ€™t find much info, and some places imply it's the exact same strain as PF Classic.

Hey Langten, since you're the PE guy would you havest this guy? I noticed the darkening at the base of his cap and I dont think its growing any more. Either that or extremely slow.



I figured the health color of a cap is that of a goomba :goomba: and any darkening is probably more along the lines on an abort.


Whatchu think?


I personaly wait until only the exact moment that the veil tears to harvest it, and you only have to worry about the cap and stipe squishyness. If the cap feels very easily squishy (like you can put a dent in it with your finger) that means its past the point of growing and is an abort

Another telltale sign of an abort is the stipe color is a dark gray along with the cap being black (along with the entire fruit looking shriveled) then yeah it is an abort

If you see no change within days or a week then it is done growing, but that doesnt mean it isnt potent as hell, ive harvested fresh pins that have stopped growing weeks prior and ate them and they still give a good lil buzz. Pins/aborts are generally more potent per mass than fully mature fruits


I would give it more time until you can see the gills

We might have different kinds of PC, mine doesnโ€™t do the constant whistle, it builds up pressure and then releases it every now and then blasting steam of at quite high pressure, itโ€™s only these moments that it becomes quite loud. I can compare it to some super strong irrigation system. The sound resembles some powerful garden sprinklers, for the record, I have a Hawkins Big Boy 22lt PC.





Holy Shit 0_Tonin this seems aggressive, I'd be scared to stand next to it lol. Once my PC reaches 15PSI I turn the burner to 50% and then it tickles 15psi for the remainder of the cycle. You dont need to keep the Burning on high to maintain pressure. Crank the heat to get it to 15psi then back off to maintain it. I have the basic presto but i'm sure this concept applies to most PCs. Pasty is on point.



cool, thanks man. I will do another cycle soon and will make sure to turn the heat all the way down once it vents, and keep an eye on the weight to make sure its wiggling, this should mean its maintaining the 15 PSI. The least it vents, the better. Because this puppy vents pretty loudly and I hate being that noisy guy.

Thanks for confirming what Pasty said.


Could you possibly take a video of the process and how agressive the steam let off is?

i agree that once the pc reaches full pressure the burner should be put low/medium because all of the pressure and heat should keep it at pressure and the weight jiggling as opposed to being very aggressive

I will say that I do PC in the dead of night whilst everyone is sleeping and once i go outside my garage and close the door, you can barely even hear it after walking about 10 feet
