Always remember when buying spores or seeds online always ask the website through "contact us" and ask them if they are affliated with police and (or) authorites! and never buy from Shayanashop

hi there, i made spore prints in a way that seemed pretty sterile to me, but after 24hrs i went to remove the mushroom cap so that the print could dry, and discovered this cottony looking stuff on one of the caps, any ideas?i used a glove box, i sterilized foil by baking it, sterilized the pins that i used to move the cap, i sterilized the shot glasses that covered the caps.i have been pondering that fact that the sgfc is not really that sterile due to fanning, misting and Fae so what stops contamination of the cap whilst in there would it be better to take the caps off while the veil is just about to break and then once in glovebox use sterile scalpel to remove veil?

hi you all, I am new here and I have a question, I am using the rye grain substrate and I have the white velvet looking mycelium growing, my question is when should I bang my jars? The reason I ask is my first attempt with rye i had banged my jars when they where 25% colonized and they all stopped growing so now (new rye jars) I had just left them alone and they are fully colonized, and it seems that evrytime I get jars fully colonized and put in my fruiting chamber they end up getting some green fuzzies on the cakes (brown rice cakes) this is why I am using rye now. sorry this is so long, but I really want to have a successful grow this time. I just dont know why how I can get the jars to colonize but why I can't get it to fruit? I bought me a hepa air thing and a humidifier but I dont know how to get them to fit together in my fruiting/birthing chamber? Any good tips will be much appreciated. thank you and sorry again for the long post.

Sounds to me like your hitting your mycelium upon it's surface to hard. What are you using to break your mycelium upon? Beating the hell out of your mycelium is like you taking a bad-ass beating, you may not recover from that.
Grain jars shouldn't be "banged" per say but rather a few light taps, while gripping the jar as loose as possible without loosing the jar, onto a rolled up telephone book or an inflated bicycle tire. By tapping our jars while gripping them as loose as possible, what we are trying to accomplish is sending the shock of the tap through out the mycelium and grains breaking them apart readily and easily. By gripping your jars tightly while breaking up the grains, the shock is absorbed by your hand and arm. Your mycelium will break-up pretty readily and easily upon tapping the jars onto the proper surface you have chosen when your mycelium is healthy. Your mycelium will be hard to break-up upon taping your jars lightly onto one of the surfaces mentioned above when your mycelium is infected with contamination.
Another common cause of mycelial stall-age is improper gas exchange provided to your colonizing mycelium.
Not enough information is provided into your method of "birthing" your cakes to make a proper diognosis of why personally you can't get your cakes to fruit. What are the measures/steps you take to introduce your cakes into fruiting conditions? There may be several reasons you can get your jars to colonize but aren't able to get them to fruit.
You don't want to place any air moving devices directly into your fruiting chamber. That'll dry out your cakes as well as fuck up your relative humidity inside of your fruiting chamber, dramatically decreasing it.
A PROPERLY CONSTRUCTED! Shotgun Terrarium will hold ample amounts of relitave humidity and fresh air exchange with a daily regimen of misting then fanning 3-6 times daily, depending on the relative humidity of your region's climate.

my Humid temp is at a steady 80% with perlite in my birthing chamber, but from what I read it needs to be at a 100%, and I used the BRF tek, can anyone help to bring the humid factor up ?

I hate to ask a stupid question but did you dunk and roll your cakes?
Shot Gun Fruiting Chamber... Use it love it....
If you have a humidity issue spray... no need for the humidifier and hepa filter.

If you are trying a new strain that you have no experience of, then I would advise caution. (1-2 grams)
You may be a major sky-pilot....but then I figure that you would not be asking the question...
Take care,

Someone is unable to see jokes :P Also that's just mean
-------------------- You paint a picture and each small feature contains to your mind another painting just as large trying to expand free. Each its own full painting of unique inspiration&style. You look closer and it is made up of just as unique and wide span of sub-features bursting with potential to become paintings themselves. The brain has this potential but also has constant surpression so that you can concentrate. But with such scope of creation how can any rigid morality produce a fair and unchained future. Religion will dissipate with time, rejoice in entropy

I'm still unable to get my RH level high ! I mist(4 to 5) then fan(6 to 10) times per day, 5" of perlite 1\4" holes 2" apart all 6 sides ! still no success to keep level@100% humidity ! any good advice or links ? seen and followed the RR tek to the T !
