First time tackling pans (ttbvi). Got a spore swab and absent mindedly swabbed it on 1.5% plates, only later remembering that lower nutes are reccomended for them. I’m probably good and this isn’t anything to overly worry about, right? And can later just transfer to lower nutrient plates.

getting thru my divorce was rough almost killed me, damn near lost my legs too, been stable on methadone now for about 2-2.5 years.

Feel for ya mate. Been through so many shit relationships that I am SOOOOO thankful my testosterone has dropped low enough I'm not interested anymore. Greatest thing about being an old man is that I cannot be swayed by their womanly wiles. I now have 5 years and 5 months clean from most destructive addiction I ever had, women with BPD...

Congrats, keep us posted about the cloning

Took a few samples today. However, the stipes were hollow, the inside of the stipe was the outside of the stipe, no isolated center. So, more than likely I'm bringing the bacteria with them. I took a few just to increase odds.

I cut off all the caps and I'm hoping to get 4 prints. I wiped the stipes with 3% peroxide. I followed Fahts Easy pan cloning but since the stipes were hollow, I just did what I could with one plate just having a whole stipe thrown on it cuz fuck it lol.

All are on water agar. I plan to put all transfers through a cabin, 2 if needed.

4 drops of blue coloring to remind myself hat the plates are water agar.


- Thank you Baba & Faht for recommending Water Agar
- Thank you kloakk for recommending to leave the plates in the SAB for a few days unwrapped for condensation to evaporate. These are the nicest plates I've ever poured.

i really do miss growing im hoping im able to get a few tents running over the winter all depends on how much money im able to pull in from my AI systems as i need to re up on manure and i can no longer get the kiln cooked manure as needed i have to send a full dumptruck about 2 hours away to pick it up so it costs about $500 to get it and the right manure really does make such the difference lol ill prolly need all new cultures by the time im ready i doubt any of the ones i have will still be good.

Some interesting results lately. Both of these are the same genetic culture - TTBVI that fruited on agar and was cloned. Oats was used as the grain for both.

Two cultures were spawned to coir, horse manure, composted cow, & verm, and fruited in 2 different types of warm water bath fruiting chambers.

Two others were spawned to coir, verm, and worm castings and fruited in an unmodifed monotub and an unmodified shoebox.

Manure sub, water bath FC (81 degrees) with holes in lid + sides of tub, and automated misting every 30 minutes for 5 min:




Manure sub, unmodified water bath FC (81 degrees) with lid cracked sideways. Hand misting once or twice per day:



Worm castings, unmodifed monotub with lid cracked sideways. Temperature kept at ambient room temp (75), hand misting once or twice per day. First pins appeared today, after about 7 days, which is 50% faster than the other tubs. I expect to see this covered with pins in the morning. No signs of overlay:




Worm castings, unmodified shoebox. Same as above but lid lifted to allow a small gap around perimeter rather than cracked sideways. First pins about a day behind the monutub. Picture is prior to casing, with first pins poking through:



These results are very unexpected and I wonder if the difference is the Worm castings instead of manure. I would not have expected the FC with high temps and max airflow to have perform the worst and the FC with everything opposite, perform the best.

Hope it's working out. Mycelium can even grow out of a bacterial blob.
