Water apparently oxidizes it quickly. If you are storing it for hours, bad idea.

If it was immediately, should be good.

Orange Juice might be a safer option.

What is the Whispy stuff exactly? I found more plates with it Shit...


The whispy unorganized growth is usually mold



Interesting mold that doesn't looks brown ore yellow just white.

I ask myselfe what goes wrong I pressure cooked the Agar and the dishes hmm.... Bevore this tek I pressure cooked the dish with the agar in the same dish so not seperat... Tomorrow i make it again with hopefully no mold transfer again.

I find it very common, or to be expected with some cultures but not with others. It's like some cultures always get too eager to pin and then they figure out; ups, no go ... I have one ape culture like that, lot's of pins, but only 1/3 end up actual fruits. At the end the result is stil app 50g's harvest per 1L of spawn.

A lot of molds start white and then turn colors once they sporulate, or rather, they start producing spores that are colored. It does look like the mold is eminating from the rim of the dish, so it's probably from handling the plate during your transfer/wrapping it. I wipe my hands with ISO very frequently during SAB sessions in an effort to minimize physically transferring contams with my hands.

Ime that's why i clone for medium fruits. From what ive observed theres a link between water supply and abort ratio for t thirsty cultures.  Try a bit more bulk sub on that ape culture and report back

Re: Ask Quick Questions, Get Quick Answers [Re: tryptkaloids]

Hello all, I'm a beginner cultivator, and after reading many threads I have some questions...

For context I have cultivated once before using the uncle bens tek (I know I know) and after being pointed to this site I want to cultivate the "proper way" using agar, grain jars, etc.

It seems like everyone has their own way of doing things and I'm not sure which route I should take...

Here are my dumb noobie questions:
For agar should I use plastic or pyrex petri dishes?
Which type of agar should I use and does it really matter?
Especially dumb question: When inoculating grain with agar, do I just take a small wedge and drop it in the jar? Or do I peel the entire culture off the plate and drop it in?

Also, I currently have a golden teacher LC syringe, but I'm curious about growing other species and varieties in the future:
Is there some kind of database or thread that compares the effects and feeling of different species and varieties? (I have heard of some mushrooms producing more visuals, less visuals, more goofy trip vs more introspective trip etc. etc.)

Thanks in advance

Guess I'll elaborate too

Use plastic petris, glass is expensive and cumbersome

Try and get telephone brand, but anything additive free should work

Dont use the whole plate, a wedge or several small chunks will do

Not sure about the last one, trips are subjective personal experiences, and cultures can very widely. Seek out ones that sound interesting and see how they effect you

Plastic is a lot easier if you are new, glass is a lot more hassle, I use glass because i like a challenge

Use just straight agar agar like these, make sure it has no additives




And yes, you take a wedge and drop it in...super simple

What is the challenge is to make sure that you use sterile techniques when innoculating, practice makes perfect

And I recommend browsing the Psychadelic experience forum and using the search bar to search for specific effects of each variety of shrooms

Both are fine. Mostly people use plastic and for a newbie I suggest plastic as you don't have to deal with sterilizing them.

Doesnt matter. But they do differ slightly so you might use less or more.

You throw in a couple of wedges, like 1/3 of the agar plate. More will equal in faster colonization.

Regarding subjective tip experience and different varieties, idk if there is a thread especially about that but I'm going to say one important thing; it's more clone specific then variety/strain. But I do agree that psilocybin and psilocin content isn't all that defines the subjective experience. You can have to clones, let's say one is GT and another is cambodian, same potency, but different experience.

Depends... Tons of exotics the mycelium can look very similar to wispy white mold xd

Though if he's growing cubes it's compost junk 💀

Hm, myb. This particular culture doesn't leave the sub dry and shrunk like PE usually does for instance. When I throw the sub out it's still very much moist. That's at a 1:3 ratio. But I'll give it a 1:5 ratio just to try it out, tnx for the suggestion.

Is this just mycelium growing into the air because of the high humidity?

Mycelium is always looking for more energy. I'm sure it senses the moisture and decided to go explore. Unless you see bruising or discoloration around it, I wouldn't worry.

So my GF wanted to grow "Blue Meanies" she was talking about Pan Cyans. I hadn't heard of Pans yet and I got conned into purchasing P. Cubes  Blue meanies.

Anyone have any experience with these guys?

My ignorant self started with Jedi Mind Fuck, PE, P. Cube Blue Meanies, and Pan Cyans.

Everything I've read or absorbed from conversations here is JMF and Blue meanies are just cubes, PE is the only special cube, and pans kick ass.
