a mediocre shroom garden thread

Oh, wait, I thought you meant to reuse an empty syringe for spore prints. Yea just flame sterilize, butane torch is my go-to since it burns clean.
Ok good, I was about to say. I wrap them in foil and put them in the back corner of the refrigerator. I really think the contamination was from the bag and lack of self-healing injection port. I went back and ordered another Rye berry bag from Shroom supply.

40g fresh mushroom pins & heaping pinch citric acid crystals.
1 cup water, cooked pins on medium low heat for 40 minutes,
paper filtered,
evaporated by fan over two days,
warmed to scrape
warmed to form
hard as candy and super duper sour
-
the citric
acid should keep the psilocybin from oxidizing.

like a candy of 3-5 doses. i used pins not adults
That looks very potent there Psychedelicdaddi. Can’t wait 2 give that a go. I have a quick question for the masses... My grain that I’ve put into the monotub has recolonized n is completely white. Their cubes, therefore I was planning on leaving as is n w/o a casing. I was just curious as 2 what my next steps would be. Do I continue to leave in the dark or do I intro 2 light n begin fanning. I wouldn’t think 2 mist, due to it naturally having a high moisture content. I’m just a lil confused, nothing major. Thankx in advance!

Wait one more week to consolidate, the n introduce fresh air and misting 4-7 times a day. Dial back your misting 2-4 times a day while fanning just as 4-7 times when your fruits are getting big.

Thankx @psychedelicdaddi.. I also wanted to show how my 1st attempt at LC is going. B4 anybody tells me that I contam’d the hell outta the culture, I just wanted to let y’all know that all the black dots seen in the LC are the actual spores that I’ve shot into the jars. I shook up the syringe as much as possible b4 noc’n up the jars n I still had big chunks of spores go into the culture. Let me know if any of these LCs look suspect. Also, there might be a lil piece of poly fill in 1, due to accidentally pushing all the way thru the hole

Next time you make LC, make them from tissue biopsy. This way you have one body on your substrate and you get a more even pin set. But in terms of usefulness, LC from spore should be GREAT still. You'll have a head start when inoculating jars, since germination isnt an issue any more.

couple questions for y'all .. how well do you think the farberware cooker would work.? it's 10 psi. it's not a cheap one..lol.. any how it's what I'm using, just wondering if anyone has used this type for sterilizing with success..??

oh and how's my culture looking? I'm concerned, some of the white puffs have a little grey dot in the center of them, contam, or normal?1005170003d.jpg

Hey farmerfischer....
I’ve seen either on here or another forum(will search it out n take a pic of it) that somebody has the breakdown as far as using electric PCs. Since the basis seems to be 15 psi for 90 mins, the 10 psi will just take longer. As I said, I’m gonna chase down the tek n post as soon as I have the info. As far as the LC goes, I’m not experienced enough to comment. If it’s not contam, then those clouds look soft enough to float on! Lol

Thankx always PsycD. Gonna look into tissue cultures. I didn’t know, but should’ve known that it’ll make for a better LC. Gonna hope for the best with what I tried to make outta the spores. I’ve taken the brf jars out the fridge n gonna attempt to noc something up or I might use the 1 spawn bag that I have left to make sure there’s no contam. Updates as always, posts as usual!

Just curious what does LC stand for?

Also it looks like I have about 2 weeks left on the spawn bags. And the Blue Mystic is really starting to take off.

Awesome DankTankerous!
I can’t wait to see the end results with the Blue Mystic.. As for the LC, LC stands for Liquid Culture. I didn’t know in the beginning as well as there is many n a plenty of abbreviations going on in Mycology... I’m still trying to get all of them down pact!

far as I know you can reuse syringes as long as you flame the needle and wipe everything down with alcohol .. should be fine
I've always just put them through the pressure cooker to reuse. But grain to grain transfer is much faster than from spores. I keep prints of some just in case shit goes horribly wrong.

Are you making a slurry syringe? Or how would you use it?

yeah that's one way..but he was asking how to reuse a loaded syringe , one that has spores in it still..

So my 1lb spawn bags are on Week 3 and they are over half way done. Am I doing something wrong? I have read it should take 3 weeks but that’s not the case here. Temps are between 75-77 though it has gotten up to 79? Am I picking them up too much?

Nah three weeks would have been really fast for a lb of grain spawned from spore. Nothing you can do but wait it out
