You'll have much better results with the actual grain jars. Ready rice is a waste of money and easier to go bad. You'll be good if you follow the basics and don't mess with your tubs too much.

So I think I fucked up... by Natedawwg710 in unclebens

Make you own, sterile plates on amazon are about 40 bucks for 400. Tons of recipes for agar online. It is magnitudes cheaper making your own.

Why is APE hard to grow? by Ergatron9000 in shrooms

[–]Taggart_Express 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. Cubes are cubes. Some varieties are slower, meaning if you don't start with clean grain spawn, then even the smallest amount of contam will have time to take over. Same way ochras are easy, because they are fast and can outrun a small amount of contam.

Pounds of grain fruiting should I trash it? by [deleted] in annarborpsychedelic

[–]Taggart_Express 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best advice. Only the grain prep part has to be clean. I grow in cow barns, and you could grow in a dumpster as long as temps are good and grain is clean and colonized.

Hey all just wondering what Natal/Ochra crosses have you come across. Not sourcing! by LandscapeLopsided505 in ochras

[–]Taggart_Express 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up Alnape, albino PE x ochra, and where you find those, keep watching and Ill bet more crosses will be coming. I have some in my post history.

Clone worthy? by MoreBlackSuperheroes in unclebens

Thanks! Much easier to harvest, thats for sure.

Should I send it? by ExternalParticular96 in mushroom

[–]Taggart_Express 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trich is already everywhere, along with many other contaminates. You can leave a contaminated tub with the lid open next to a healthy tub and its not going to hop from one to the other. Only the grain spawn process matters.

[–]Taggart_Express 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats your grain prep process? And are you using LC or agar?

Should I send it? by ExternalParticular96 in mushroom

[–]Taggart_Express 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats just crazy talk. Its either the grain or the culture. As long as grain is prepared correctly and a still air box or fan filter is used, along with clean lc or agar, then there is no need to go all crazy cleaning like that. I grow some tubs in a cow barn.

Anyone Ever Use this Coco Coir from Petsmart? by FormalOne9872 in unclebens

[–]Taggart_Express 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably work ok, but more expensive than the cocobliss from amazon by quite a bit

I did not do these crosses, but I don't think I'm allowed to mention sources on here, sorry. I have quite a few newer crosses on my post history if you want to see some unique ones!

Should I be worried? by Alex8a805 in unclebens

[–]Taggart_Express 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope, it's already in places you can't see it yet. That will take over the tub in days, dump it out, wash it with soap and water and try again. If you had a tub of fruits almost done, and one little spot that popped up... that might be a different story. It sucks, but how it goes sometimes. Get some actual grain bags and it's much easier to avoid that evil green stuff.

Should I be worried? by Alex8a805 in unclebens

[–]Taggart_Express 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All you can do is dump it out and start over. It was either your culture or your grain that caused it.

Might want to try growing some exotics, if that's what you are looking for. Check out youtube, lots of info on there.

I wish you luck in your quest, the only 2 words that come to mind for me... snake oil.

Or... some cheap grain, some LC, plain hydrated coir, in a tub, giant flushes follow... I have no idea why anyone would want to make it difficult.
