Thats a nice big flush, could use a little more air prob but np. Sometimes I consider switching to straw…I’d have to find a clean source(no herbicides)

Is that rosemary I see back there? How do you grow yours? Do you start from seed?

Nice, yea need to figure out a way to get more air to them. Thats the second flush feim this batch. Right now ive got a fan that kicks in evert couple hours but might switch it it every hour. Yup, rosemary. I grabbed this as a baby from mennonite farmers in my area and take cuttings from this plant to start others. I grow it under an led and give it some 1/4 canna veg nutes every few weeks. Keep it under 12-16 hours of light a day. Seems to be loving life

got my pressure cooker. and am looking for clarification to making my agar.

correct me if needed. i mix and boil ingredients then pour this into jars and then pressure cook? also are lids tight or loose when pressure cooking?

yeah mix it warm before hand so that way it doesn’t clump.
90 mins seems over kill. Even 45 is a bit much for agar media
And your recipe is a bit complicated too. Just agar and LME works great.
loose lids covered with foil. the vacuum will seal

I have changed that.
Use the same recipe but pour into 1/4 pints . Put on lids, put rings in bottom of pressure cooker to be able to add more water to the pot, add filled jars. Pressure cook at 15 PSI for 90 minutes
Loose lids

My agar usually only 20 mins but can go longer 90mins is what I do a whole PC full of grains jars. Also there is literally hundreds of agar recipes just basically need agar and food source. Potatoes flakes, dog food, corn syrup, brown rice flower so many possibilities. Good luck on your grow adventure it’s very addictive.

These are agar potatoes flakes a d corn syrup.


oh ya food coloring just 2 drops I prefer blue or green.

A cube is a cube, except for penis envy…

I think B+ is the classic beginner strain…

PE probably the best cube imo. I’d highly recommend.

Okay I never grew shrooms before. I have a jar of agar, some coco, and a spore print. What is the simplest method to get some shrooms from what I have. I’ve been reading forums and YouTube but am a little slow with the funghi. Thanks in advance

Pf Tek is easy also forgiving with contamination. You can put spores in a shot glass with some distilled water and suck up with syringe to inoculate jars. Also make agar is easy put some spores on agar and let the spores germinate and start mycelium transfer until clean culture. Then add clean culture wedges to pf Tek jars or sterilized oats, grains, or other food source.

Don’t soak the cakes in water before fruiting in the monotubs. I’ve had some trouble fruiting the last few times. Either not enough light or not enough air exchange. I’m not sure.
