cool man, congrats on the onions.  those monos r great.

def not 2 much FAE. usually mutants r genetic.  what else do u have that u run it 24/7 (RH wise). i had my air pump on i think every 2 hrs for like 15min if i remeber correctly, otherwise my RH would shoot down... what kind of FC?

Start with more reasearch...
Pf-tek is recommended here's a link-http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek
As for spores, i use Ralphsters, realiable and fast-http://www.ralphstersspores.com/index.htm

GL with everything Baph, sorry to hear about ure situation but itll be all good, ull pull through.
U will be missed for sure and thank you for all the help and i really hope u come back 1 day.

yes 12 jrs i believe

really, just 60 min.  shit id rather do that i thought 90 was recomended

constanly "aggitaiting " jars will slow down colinization IMO.   do a bit more reasearch and i suggest start with cakes.  u can case with 100% verm or 60/40 peat, whatever u want.  a casing layer is like a microclimate.  don't case w/ hpoo <-- thats a bulk sub.  u can spawn u're rye to hpoo but again, do a lot more research be4 u attempt anythin like this.

<want to use a rye seed substrate so I can keep the stain going (I'm using "penis envy" from Hawks Eye)

i'm not sure what u mean by that but i think u mean Grain 2 grain.  Again dude get a grow in be4 u start messing w/ shit like that.  trust me, i got ahead of myself at first 2,  i wanted to do everything.... patiance is key, take it step by step.

i cook mine for 90 with good results.  60, i think could work but IMO ure pushing ure success rate

if using a rye seed substrate how many times can you reinuculate other substrates

HUH??  u mean G2G?

not growing from MS u have to isolate a strain by sectoring the mycelium on petri dishes.  I havnt yet gone into that and dont plan to for the next month or 2 but ive read a lot about it. 

<it is WBS with verm coir casing about and inch and a half.

well i know most ppl in a mono have a sub depth of 4-5 inch.  i do mine with that depth with great results. i use 4-5 jars as spawn and the rest a mix of coir, verm, spent coffee (<--- tried it works pretty good). here a link ive used my 1st time... not too long ago but already did a lot of monos!

here's a cool project, some ppl say there's no need to case bulk subs link: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/9524148/an/0/page/0

this might help u also, its a spawn calculator, it'll tell u how quarts of spawn and bulk u need to reach ure depht,  4inches does me good.http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7973880

wow yea, i was wandering what happened to u Baph.  didn't realize that even our "hero members" were effected also lol

im glad everything is solved and ok now, thanks Anno!

first off how deep is ure sub and what bulk did u spawn to?

-i use a garbage bag to help prevent side pinning (it sticks to the sub and "shrinks" with it.)
  Pinning forms where its  conditions are ideal, there's a higher RH on the sides hence the side pinning. you can  try putting a sheet of wax paper over on top of your substrate to trap more moisture near the surface. here a little on the wax paper http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/9681926#9681926 , other wise fan and mist . 

I know a monotub is set and put away but a lot of ppl (me sometimes) fan and mist.  Low RH is the usual suspect for cracked caps.

:rolleyes:Buy a book I have on cultivating psilo's ("Growing Psilocybin Mushrooms",  or something like that); Also, get Paul Stamet's book(s).... Build a flow hood....Use tape on ur petri dishes....  Good luck guy...(I was here to ASK questions, and this is the 3rd one I've ANSWERED!)

dude, do u realize how old this thread is??

Nice prictorial/walkthrough right on this site...http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek
it'll show u everything about the pf-tek and how to make a incubator (pictures)

really, i might look into that.... home depot u said.

yea thats what i did, not even 20. i just bought a clear bin heated up a coffe can and pushed it through to make 2 arm holes(instead of cuttting).

the purpose of a glove box is to have still air.  wipe it down but it wont be 100% sterile without a flow hood (u could have it running for a while then shut it down but its a waste of time IMO).  The point of the glove box is to try and have still air so unwanted shit dont fly around.  i wipe down then spray a bit of lysol, wait about 10 minutes (with everything i need in there) then flame sterilize the needle and move it into the glove box while still red hot.  dont flame sterilize inside of the glove box, shit sets on fire lol.  dont make fast movements just be calm and carful.

im sorry to post without info but PW "unretarded shrooms" haha, just made me laugh 

u have to upload a pic to some site (photobucket or somthing) then use the "direct link" url and insert in between the img thing, after u hit the insert image button wich is here: (pic below)

haha lol srry shroomerz (1 and 2) hehe, theres nothing like reading a post that 1 posted wasted  at 10 in the morning after celebrating their b day haha. and wow i didnt know that many ppl have a problem like that, i did once like i said, have a problem but luckily im not sin2win1 (or 2 haha). OH btw, ihad to celebrate without the magical fruit
