Yeah, I have noticed condensation on the inside of the jars.
I wasn't talking about steaming the jars I messed up. I meant to say I am starting new jars and I was planning on steaming them for 90 minutes, and then steaming them again for 90 minutes after 24 hours. Would that help kill bacteria? Is there any particular reason I can't steam them for over 90 minutes?

Steaming is not the best way to do it, I have no experience with steaming jars myself so I cannot accurately answer that question.

Do you think I can get my mycelium addicted to nicotine? I was thinking about this when I got stoned the other day and was out of cigs.

Knock it the hell off. Contribute to an intelligent discussion of cultivation techniques or don't post. This isn't a chat room. RR

What I was getting at was developing a possible substrain to decompose and fruit from ciggarette butts.

This is not the place for that discussion, and I hope RR will lock up any of your threads pertaining to this dumbass idea.
I actually think that Tobacco is Anti-Fungal, but I could be wrong

I wasted a $500 box of cuban cigars trying to do a grow on them. Tobacco is anti-fungal for sure, and the tampons you guys suck on the end of cigs are synthetic. RR

hey P menace, im working on making a post with virtually ALL and every supply needed for this hobby. I have found cheap places for stir plates, impulse sealer, rubber stoppers for LC, empty syringes, rye berries, filters, humidifiers,.. you name it I already have every link saved. Im going to try and use as many sponsors as possible for most items but I know there are some sponsors that dont carry certain things. anyways, Ill be posting it in a few days. everything in alphabetical order and very organized. it may take some time to do this but its gonna be sweet when its done. Im going to also put a few different options for some materials so everything isnt linked strictly to online resources. the list will probably have 100 or more materials. I always see questions like "where can i find this?" or "my local store doesnt have this" Any ideas on this project feel free to comment.

So your saying its not plausible to grow mushrooms from cigarette butts? I dont know how being synthetic pertains to mushroom cultivation.

i have a question. its a noob question so ill post it here instead of starting a new thread. I did a poo strae mix, pateurized it and all, and i notice it has a funny smell. not a bad smell but a bit of an odor. i did a search and saw other posts asking about the smell of straw having a bit of an odor. It has been the same smell since it was pasteurized so im sure its not a contam. does this smell go away once the stuff reaches full colonization? this smell is the straw right? im sure anyone with straw experience knows the type of smell i speak of. also, I spawned rye berries to the poo/straw mix and its been almost a week now and there isnt much colonization going on. Im just using theses little tupperwares so i can place the trays on the shelf of a martha setup. One tupperware is starting to take off a little but the others arent doing muc of anytthing yet. Also, there is ALOT of condensation in them. they are coverd in foil with holes punched in the top. There is no standing water. maybe a few visable water droplets at the bottom. Anyways why is it taking so long? too much moisture content perhaps? I doubt thats the problem because i made mycelium water with a couple jars and that mycelium recoverd FAST as hell even after being pretty soaked in water. this leaves me to believe the moisture problem may not be a big deal. Also, how airy does the substrate need to be? I didnt pack it down in the tupperwares but used the opening of the jar to push down any pieces of straw poking up so it is a bit fluffy. I threw in a dash of vermiculite in the mix as well. im just concerned because i read that straw is quick to contaminate. any ideas or tips would be appreciated. I think it will all work out im just paranoid. if I fail, thats fine because im only going to learn from my mistakes.

exactly, a synthetic cigarette butt doesnt pertain to the cultivation of mushrooms. thats what he was saying. lets drop this whole cigarette butt, tobacco thing please.

The smell is probably amonia. Which eventually breaks down to form nutrients, if im not mistaken.
Once I get enough LC, I'm still going to try to find a way to pasturieze cigarrette butts in my substrate/bulk substrate, I dont see why everyone is getting so annoyed by this?
