This is basically what you're paying the extra money for.  If you get the electric presto, the only noise you will have is when the PC vents all the air out, from then on its basically silent

For me, I do my PCing in the garage where making noise aint a problem, but yeah if you want to make as little as noise possible,  you'll have to decide if its worth the extra $250 USD. Which if you are more monitarily abundant ($$$$$$),  that could possibly be chalked up to a sound investment

Apparently it's more energy efficient as well which is a bonus. Man, the idea of new cultivation tools is exciting

Is there an induction plate that is recommended for the induction style presto?

I got a hotplate once to try and move my presto out of the kitchen, but it never had the power to bring it up to pressure in a reasonable amount of time

This one works like a charm

I will say that with an electric Presto all you have to do is push a botton, whereas with a manual PC, you do have to put the pressure regulator on after venting in order to build up pressure, so... choices

But I'm not opposed to the electric version. However it is all one piece and contained and what happens if it breaks down or something. There's nothing more tried and true than gas/fire/induction.

I'm sure they have warranties. But I would hate for something to happen to the thing and then troubleshooting have to stop at whatever point you can't take the thing apart and see it's guts.

Without possibly voiding whatever warranties might be in place.

However if the plate stops working then that would seem to be a pretty easy and inexpensive replacement.. compared to scrapping the whole pc and buying another.

Things to consider.

Worth harvesting + punishing I believe?

Also dialled in my surface conditions

That's a really cool pheno on that top one. Were there any labels / any backstory on where you got it? (omitting vendor, obv) If you're set up to clone, that's a good candidate.

It's probably sporeless or nearly sporeless so you could let it run a little longer so the rest of them can fatten up a bit. Those bigger ones with the veils tearing are ready but another day or two probably won't kill ya unless they're feeling soggy and then sure, chop away.

Bottom pinset is looking great, very nice.

Are those regular 6qt shoeboxes or something bigger?

I am unsure of the variety in the first box, I got it by swabbing the gills of a dried mushroom that was purchased. I would be very interested to know what it is. It was a slow grower and took about 2 months to pin, only doing so when I realised it probably needed to be cased haha. Thanks for the info re harvesting I appreciate it.

They are 8qt shoeboxes. thank u very much for your reply, it is much appreciated.

The caps does look a lot like SNAPE, but I'm just guessing here

What id do with those plates is gar to grain 2x n transfer to more agar as backup n worst case I'd grains don't work out ul have a cleaner culture and also more comprehension of what type of contam it is possibly 😊

bloodssonnew said:

SO I have a question myself guys.

Can y'all help me get this stuff to field capacity?

Walmart near me stopped selling my jiffys mix so I bought some shit that might or might not work and I like to experiment + have old spawn jars I don't have much expectations for except to learn more about the cultures 😁

Pics of what I'ma make into a sub and need help figuring out how to get field capacity.

Agreed. Prolly worth the investment in the long run depending on the person.
Same  conclusion we came to during our discussion previously. If it's worth it for you then by all means.

I'm not going to get another PC until I absolutely need one.

But when I do I'm going to look into induction Presto with an induction plate for the sake of saving money. Enjoying all the luxuries of  controlled heat and automation.

Reasons for spores:

1- Restarting a culture that is underperforming
2- Trades
3- Crosses, you can use one print, and make multiple crosses by just swabbing some spores from it
4- a Cloned culture is not eternal, well, you can if you do slants I suppose. Spores are your longterm term genetic storage.


You are right, you are gonna get better end results from cloning, in terms of clusters/pheno/potency, well, you likely are if you choose the right fruits. Make sure to taste test your cloned fruits, it might look splendid but be a lame potency, don't waste time cultivating that.

Spores serve to try your change again at a lucky start (if you ever played a roguelite like Binding of Isaac, this should make sense), or trying to mix.
