My jars are almost done. What do y'all think, about another week for me until they're consolidated?
Consolidation is after they are completely colonized. Like, when you cannot see any substrate and everything is white, then you have a week left. This will greatly greatly greatly increase greatly your yields and is necessary to prevent contamination competition when you open those jars. Keep us posted and don't rush your garden :mrgreen:. Just ask again when you thinks it's time, I know its exciting:joint:

Dang... I wish I knew You... Its been a minute since I have eaten mushrooms.
Pretty much a necessity at this point.

I cannot gorw mushrooms anymore... I have spores and equipment to grow
but I am under surveillance, so it is virtually impossible for Me to grow mushrooms ever again ...
unless they become legalized.
Not even going to ask....Lol...

The planet still grows mushrooms, and depending on your area you may be allowed to pick fresh mushrooms but not consume. The pick and carry laws are designed so you don't get dinged for picking the wrong culinary/ edible mushrooms when foraging

I imagine you are weird enough in person that, if you were to begin mushroom hunting, you wouldn't really get questioned. Just grow your beard out if you haven't already. Lol
Good one. CM on the TradeMark.

can i take spore prints from dried caps and make spore syringe with it?:-?
Good question but, in short, no. You could however do exactly that anyway but don't use the syringe to knock up a sterile jar because your syringe will be contaminated from the dried caps. You would follow a cardboard tek and or a petri dish nutrient agar tek. The cardboard is a quick way to get a lot of choices of clone stock. You just grow the myc on the cardboard until its a clear battle for real estate between myc and the contams. You then cut out a section of only the myceloum, using a sterile blade, and transfer it onto a sterile substrate like wbs or popcorn. Shake it up a little and let it colonize your jar completely if it can without getting contaminated from its source. Then repeat transfers as necessary. You can DIY petri dishes using a brf sub in tupperware btw. It's likely easier to just buy a new spore syringe.

Yessir, throw your contaminated spawn in the garden, cubes love mature compost, which is my original reason for starting this grow but have gotten a little distracted Lol.

im like bro how do i mist or fan those poor things?how much light do they need if any?
but for real dwag
should i pressure cook my grains or just add boiled water n rinse them?:-?
and what do you use for bulk substrate mix?

Pressure cooker is an absolute must. I would suggest brf tek. It is very fail safe for a small gardener. You'll find it very easy to manipulate. Then later try bulk when you get a feel for what is sterile practice andthe environment.

Look up sgfc tek for your fruiting chamber, brf tek for your substrate and jar sizes. You first air out your chamber by waving the lid into the chamber. Then heavily mist the air but not directly on the brf cakes. Mist and fan cakes in the fruiting chamber 4-7 times a day for 30 seconds each time. Pins form in a weekend or two doing this. Keep doing it through fruiting.
