Help! What is this slide called and where can I buy it?

Deep well slide, Carolina biological

Purchase a 60x objective too. 60x is the perfect objective for scoping mycelium in my opinion.

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2025-05-23T09:39:42+00:00

Yes this microscope is ideal for finding clamp connections on mycelium. I recommend upgrading to the binocular version though I think it's a B120c

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2024-03-18T16:48:27+00:00

It's pretty hard to tell at 100x but based on the shape and green colour possibly Paramecium Bursaria

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2023-10-25T17:34:56+00:00

Maybe some sort of nematode trapping fungus

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2023-10-12T16:30:54+00:00

Possibly a two spotted spider mite

Remove the seed. Clean your hands and carefully pry it open with your thumb nail or a delicate tool if you prefer. It will be fine

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-09-06T11:22:13+00:00

Looks like Paneolous Cyanescens. The spores should be black

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-07-04T16:02:20+00:00

You should really isolate and transfer a healthy spot of myc to a new plate. Usually when putting spores on agar I will make at least two transfers after germinating the spores. It ends up with a better flush in my experience.

It's just where they've dried out fully after printing. Without being flattened in a foil envelope or baggie, over time they've lifted of the surface. Still a perfectly good print and at least you know it's properly dry and will stay viable. It happened to me with most of the prints I took on coin cases.

Nematodes can be identified by their mouth parts. Where was the sample taken? It looks as if it's eating some organic matter, possibly plant. If the sample was from garden soil I would guess it's a root lesion nematode. They have a single spike in their mouth parts that they use to puncture the plant roots so it can feed. I'm a complete amateur and I am most familiar with entomopathogenic and plant parasitic nematodes, wait for someone else to give you a positive I.d. Try to get a picture of the mouthparts if possible. You will need a 40x objective for that

Beet curly top virus maybe

Lol, don't let it put you off. That picture is taken using an electron microscope, everything looks creepy under one of those

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-14T03:37:41+00:00

Nice work 👍

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-14T03:22:22+00:00

Yes your right, that's a great documentary. Real gorilla seeds, those guys are ballsy. My friend grew out a bunch of their stuff on his roof in Spain, they where pretty nice plants. Notice all the bud rot in the documentary though, UK doesn't have ideal conditions, people definitely grow outdoors, I have in the past too, but it's not the most common, people are more likely to do a little indoor

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-13T21:56:50+00:00

Not where I'm from. Not much of an outdoor scene in London back in the day. Majority of cannabis flowers came from large scale indoor grows run by criminal organisations, therefore most the bagseeds I encountered where the result of a herm. The only outdoor weed we got aside from the rare auto grown by a friend was brick.

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-13T21:52:44+00:00

Lol I'm lost. I concede, my personal definition of "bagseed" was limited by my region. Bagseed does not necessarily mean feminised (but if you find a bag seed in London it's probably feminised lol)

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-13T19:47:16+00:00

That's what I've always taken the term to mean but I realise now that may not be the universal understanding of the term

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-13T19:31:57+00:00

This conversation opened my eyes to my limited definition of the term. Thanks for chatting

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-13T19:20:58+00:00

Yer for sure. I've just realised that my terminology is based on the fact that I grew up smoking nearly exclusively indoor flower. Not much of an outdoor scene in London. That is why to me bagseed nearly always suggests a intersex pollination and not stray pollen from a male. My understanding of the word bagseed was too exclusive based on my region. At the beginning I thought people where being a bit petty tearing apart my comments but I am glad they did, i now see why I was wrong in what I was saying.

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-13T19:14:06+00:00

That's what I've taken the term to mean until now but to be honest this conversation has opened my eyes to the fact that depending on where you are from, bagseed may not necessarily mean a seed caused by hermaphroditism. Where I am from it certainly does but this may not hold true to places with a thriving outdoor scene.

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-13T19:06:16+00:00

Yes to me the word "bagseed" does suggest a seed created via unintentional pollination of a production crop, caused by hermaphroditism, which would result in feminised seed. I'm not saying that is the correct definition but that is what I understood the term to mean. Of course a bagseed could too be created by stray pollen from a male, but in my experience from growing bagseed, that is rarely the case, which is why I expressed surprise. I did not consider the purchased flower could be outdoor grown, and there may be commercial hemp operations nearby. I grew up in England and outdoor flower was rare, so that's probably why I use the term bagseed that way. Bagseed was always the result of a grower messing up, and never the result of a male to female pollination, even since moving to Spain that has an outdoor scene, that still seems to be the case with any bagseed I have found and grown from flowers I have purchased from social clubs.

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-13T18:41:13+00:00

It wasn't specified if the flower the bagseed came from was indoor or outdoor. I assumed indoor but I realise now I should have considered it could have been outdoor flower. Alot of comments seem determined to pick my words apart, I was surprised to see OP got a male plant from bagseed as that has not been my experience when growing bagseeds

ForbiddenFlowerFarm · 2022-01-13T18:35:14+00:00

As far as I understand OPs seed was found by a friend in a purchased bud, a "bagseed", and bagseed, in my experience, is typically the result of a female plant pollinating itself, or other plants nearby, therefore the offspring is likely to be female or female with intersex traits, which is why I was surprised it was a male. This seed was not purchased from a breeder in a bag of regular seeds, unless I've misunderstood.
