      It's true. But it's from hair, clothes and the filth most people are covered in. Look at people's fingernails and you can get an idea of how dirty they are ;) Lab coats that haven't been washed for months are hanging on a dirty coat rack are the worst thing you could possibly wear in the lab. Not to mention fire hazards when working with alcohol. I guarantee, my naked body is cleaner than any clothes I could wear. Think about it for a minute. All that shit they tell you online is parroted dogma from years of people trying to sell shit like lab coats.

    I know your probably just being super safe cause I have always pretty much done the same. But the spawn is pretty much invincible to contamination if it was fully colonized correctly right?

    • @edwardgrand
      @edwardgrand  Před rokem +7

      Yes. Maybe not invincible, but highly resistant to contamination. I just thought it would be funny to were pink gloves with no shirt :)
      TBH, I don't like getting dirt/coir under my nails and it all kind of smells if you're making 8 shoeboxes like I was that day. I was also gonna do some sterile culture work after that, so I like to keep my hands relatively clean.

    Great videos! How often do you fan/spray your shoe boxes per 24-hour cycle?

    • @edwardgrand
      @edwardgrand  Před rokem +8

      Maybe 3 times? Depends on room temperature, how much I've been running air conditioning and how much substrate is in each tent. I try to spray each shoebox individually if possible. Sometimes I just blast them all if I'm in a hurry. Sometimes I don't spray at all. Depends on shoebox and cultigen. Albinos nd PE don't like misting so much.

    Thanks so much! Amazing vid. So this goes on the shelf 10-14 days... do you then put a casing on it? Or is that not necessary. I saw you put a light sprinkle on the top, pseudo-casing right?

    • @edwardgrand
      @edwardgrand  Před rokem +2

      Thanks. With the pseudo-casing, I'd give it a few extra days to pop through. Depends a lot on environmental conditions and genetics. As long as the spawn is good, it'll be fine.

    If you have a garden bro, dig a hole and put all your used substrate in it, keep adding to it and after a good rain you might get lucky with more 🍄. Plus its more convenient and less risky than putting in your garbage.

    • @edwardgrand
      @edwardgrand  Před rokem +2

      It's kind of half boiled, half steamed. About 30 minutes. Depends on load. Keep the lid on and mix it after its cooled.

      Yes. Any kind of autoclave/pressure cooker will do. The time and pressure depend on a lot of variables. I do my cooked paddy rice and popcorn for 3 hours at 12 psi.

    Hi I got a question for you. I've been watching your videos and I saw the geeky podcast. And I saw that you mentioned you had a culture that doesn't fruit. I think I might have the same sort of thing I have a pe7 culture that super risomorphic looks great on agar and grain but once I put it to substrate in a monotub it starts to grow and then it looks like it dies back and it's super slow but it's amazing before it had substrate could you tell me if my problem? I just got a microscope the other day so I could try to figure something out if you guide me. Or I just throw the culture away and stop trying that one and use this other pe7 swap set I have and see if that works from a different vendor

    • @edwardgrand
      @edwardgrand  Před rokem +3

      My problem was the culture was a monokaryon. I went back to spores and isolated a new culture. I have two other cultures that are confirmed dikaryons, but they won't fruit under my conditions. Sometimes they just do that. If you have spores, just try again :)

    • @shawnlinehan4005
      @shawnlinehan4005 Před rokem

Anyways I got three more grain bags that are ready to go I'm going to try three more tubs if it doesn't work I'm going to get rid of it and in the meantime I'm going to start the new swabs and transfer at least six times before I do anything with it
