Has anyone experimented with double trenching?

Ive been battling ttbvi with a biofilm. The biofilm actually made it through a cabin. So far ive found that Trenching gives me slightly more time to transfer before the biofilm shows up.

While not pictured in this post, I also have been taking way more aerial transfers. Aerial transfers to trenches have been my jam lately.

Clone to water agar > cabin > 2nd low nute cabin >low nute trench > low nute double trench.

I'd say more fresh air exchange could be beneficial. I had my lids flipped and slid back creating a big gap while fruiting last flush and it turned out great.

I'm a noob too though.
Welcome to the shroomery.

The coir will get lighter in color as it dries out, it looks fine from here though. After looking at the tub the air exchange should be fine for colonization, but it will take a little longer and you would need to increase some when it's fully colonized I believe.

So 65Β°F and restricted air exchange will slow things down, but shouldn't stall it completely, take a picture every day so you can compare them and determend if it is truly stalled or just slow. If you take off the lid once a day for a picture you'll also change the air, winwin :awesomenod:

You could do as Mystikal recommend, just watch the coir and surface so it doesn't dry out.


Cool thanks all!

Just saw your message - I'm using an SAB. Where to put the tool for 1-2 minutes or something where it won't get contam? Sorry if I'm being dense...


Small, easily cleaned rack of some sort where it will rest and flamed part doesn't touch anything. Or how about your hand? you aren't doing anything else....

I just make my first cut the one that runs parallel to the leading edge. You're not contacting any mycelium so no need to worry about the hot blade, and you're not opening your receiving plate an extra time and jabbing a tool into it an extra time, the blade is cool by the time you go to make the next two cuts of the wedge. Workflow: optimized.

Many thanks for your thoughts! I'll forgo the punch unless I can think of a place to cool it without it getting contam, which I can't think of any place at the moment.

And dunking in 99% iso is definitely a no-no to cool it, right?

Thanks again man!

Mike


I can't imagine anything living in 99% iso, so if you flame sterilize it first, maybe, but then you would have to wait while the iso evaporates and you might as well wait for it to cool.

If you really want to use a punch then cool it in the receiving plate and then do the transfer or use a plate just to cool the punch :awesomenod:


:recordscratch: no no no. 99 iso is too strong to sanitize, and even if it could sanitize like 70 does it can combust from a hot tool, and sanitizing is a backwards step from sterilization. Certain things can absolutely resist alcohol, especially stuff so pure. 70% had just enough water to trick cells into absorbing it

Question: My new pressure canner just arrived, and I used it to sterilise my reusable polycarbonate plates (Vabiooth). When I took them out of the pressure canner, I noticed that they had warped and become slightly bulged. As a result, they no longer stack properly and keep falling over.
I’ve sterilised these same plates many times in my previous pressure canner without having any issues. I used exactly the same sterilisation method and procedure this time. The only difference is that I haven’t overclocked the weight on my new pressure canner yet, so the pressure was exactly 15 psi instead of about 17 psi.

What could have caused the plates to warp?


It may be a thinner pc.

Quoting myself from a different thread, bc maybe here is a better place.

jonkerston said:
Cubes, wheat, coco coir. Spawned 2 weeks ago, my tubs are ~13-15l, 1:3 ratio (1l spawn, 3l sub), total sub thickness is ~4cm. My lids don't fully lock, so i've decided to start with lower fae, only have 1 extra 1/4" hole the wide sides.

The mycelium is spreading, but it seems to have stalled colonizing after a while (see pics). The colonized top layer is shiny, the beads are small, maybe perfect but might be a bit on the bigger side - but i don't yet have enough intuition to judge.

I suspect low FAE but not sure. What's the best steps forward?

Sorry that pics quality not best, couldn't make any better.








Now i wonder if surface conditions and air matter at this stage at all, would it just depend on spawn and sub composition?

Well that was my thought too, to use 99% iso, or 70% since it's supposed to kill spores better, but others have said that's a bad idea. Another buddy said just use it hot, make it a quick punch, and the myc will survive.

I dunno. I might try again.

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you. I don't care about just holding it - but it would be in my SAB. Stuff can fall on it if I'm waiting for 60 seconds or 2 minutes...unless I had something contam-free to put it in...but what?

Again, sorry to be dense, but how to prevent contam from falling on it while waiting for it to cool?

Or is an SAB supposed to be that good that I can literally hold the tool for 2 minutes and contam won't get on the tool?

Anyways, thanks, and I've enjoyed your posts and learning from you.

I didn't realize an SAB could be that contam-free...I suppose a lot of it comes down to proper technique.

Exactly. Keep the air still and you'll be fine. A stainless steel straw cools pretty quick if you're set on a punch, but it's something I dropped promptly after trying a few times

Yeah...I had dropped it too...but my buddy on this board insists it's super useful. He's a lot better at this than me, so hence all the questions.

I've had some success with just the scalpel...

Thanks for sharing.:awesome:

I usually just use a a thick plate of sterile agar to cool blades off as needed, often a small no pour style
