Hi all. Does anyone know the cause of this? It kinda looks like the cap is breaking apart. It’s only affected a couple pins so far but I grabbed them out in case it’s more serious. Bacteria? Overwatering? Thanks

Looks like rosecomb mutation, have you been spraying your fruits with iso by accident

It also looks like you're growing Toque genetics, if that's the case many of them are highly unstable and will throw mutants often, should be fine either way

Here's a question I've never considered.

Let's say you've got some jars 100% colonized and consolidated. you break and Shake before going to bulk. So that you can watch recovery and make sure nothing's hiding..

Few days later.. you've got great recovery.

Is it now okay to go forward with going to bulk ? Or are you supposed to wait for it to fully colonize again.

I feel like I always just went for it at the sight of good recovery.  and never waited for full colonization after that final b&s.

But I've been away for about 9 months and can't remember.


Ps. Looking for people that do a final break and Shake to check recovery before going to bulk to answer please.

---

I usually do the final break&shake check at around 95% instead of 100%, so if they recover like they should I just let it colonize everything and spawn, to answer your question, if you know everything was colonized before the break&shake test you can spawn as soon as you feel confident they are recovering like they should.

no im not confusing, im dealing with P. ochraceocentrata and they need allot more oxygen vs most cubes.
and its very known that cubes grow much faster with free airflow vs restricted.

I've grown Ochra's fungus friend, not much different than cubes. Pans NEED air, Ochra's are simple in comparison.  Fruiting conditions, and agar slant conditions are two different realms, and aren't the same thing. 

Simple 6 qt, nothing fancy.

Noob here, down the rabbit hole we go! First attempt at agar work.  How are these looking? Samples taken on 10/10. There starting to get a bit fuzzy, Am I correct in assuming the vertical  fuzzy areas are  contamination?








Would you consider these the correct area to transfer to new plates?







Thank you all! If I hadn’t found the shroomey I would still be fumbling around growing Tric in my spare time. Agar is fun stuff!

There are no guarantees in this business, but the Parafilm is fine, I've never heard of a species needing air on agar, you might be overthinking or confusing FAE with conditions for fruiting, not a slant and or plate.

I disagree. I guarantee that I will spend more money on cult supplies than I told myself I would. Haha but I agree. Ochras should be fine in a slant without extra air.



I got a new dehydrator $25 second hand, but only used once. The excalibur I found had already been sold unfortunately.


Also friends, what should I do with these ATL7 stones??? I don’t want to create rocks dehydrating?  I have made stoned gummies, I could do that again but try to only use the amount of water needed for gummies so I don’t need to dehydrate the water to make active tea or whatever it’s called? Idk what to do besides that?

Nice come up there, a friend of mine gave me a dehydrator that I rarely use, but it has settings and dials and everything the Ronco doesn't have, but simple, and effective works, and No noise, other than stinking up my garage from drying fruits. 


Fresh stones last for months in the fridge in a pill bottle or any sealed container.  I microdosed them for a few cycles, great at .8 fresh, or as high as 1.2, but felt a touch of the body high at 1.2.  I have a healthy Cannabis appetite, and the stones cleared my mind up being foggy from being in the clouds.
