OK guys/gals. thanks 4 still continuing to follow my adventure. ;) Means allot. Also thanks 2 everyone that has been helping me along the way. 2 thumbs WAY UP!! images (72).jpg

I went ahead & purchased me some WBS if anyone missed it, also had a bag of PC in the pan trey... Wasn't opened or anything. lol Don't worry I made sure to pre wash both mediums very good! ;) Even having to wash the WBS not once, not twice but 3 damn times to get it to where the water ran clean. The PC wasn't so bad. I made sure I skimmed all the Sunflower seeds off the top on the 1st wash. As to why :??: anyone have an answer to that :??: I then got my pressure cooker (simmering). Had cleaned my entire working surface, even worked on the oven lid op-en. I had pre-drilled my holes for the inoculation points. Placed the new pre-washed w/anti bacterial soap half pint jelly jars into cooker. Sterilized jars for 30 min. I then took them out placed on cleaned work area (oven door) and filled with mediums. 2 jars got WBS, the other 2 I used Popcorn. I made sure to leave a gap between the top of lid and medium. Just enough, so the needle can reach the mediums. ;) Sealed up with pre - tapped lids, then capped with aluminum foil. Stuck back into cooker & sterilized the jars for 1 hour at 15 psi and allowed it to pressure to return to normal. Took the jars out after cooling, sprayed the box off w/Lysol and put the jars in that. I am waiting til in the morning before I inoculate these. :) Hopefully these will work better. ;)

I always used perlite for water retention in my fruiting temperature to keep my humidity high.

Never had a problem with it, I did bake it prior to use, and would use H2O2 at times when adding fresh water to the perlite.

If you want it for RETENTION, Vermiculite works better.
It's like comparing Oasis to Sahara for cut flowers.

philosopher's stones are storage bodies produced by some Psilocybes (and others) that contain actives and can be grown invitro so inject jar, wait, harvest you can but do not have to fruit the cultures to acquire actives.

and dank you are going to need more of a lid for the wbs. Get some tyvek to use as a filter (jar lid with holes then tyvek with the ring keeping them on there), check out synthetic filter disks and silicon self healing injection ports (if you want serious lids) or at least some micropore tape. The dry verm layer that provides protection for brf jars isnt there with grain jars.

Well, im working with what I was sent with the kit. lol so hell yeah, thanks 4 the future reference on the lids. ;) was super super duper careful this time. Al though the 1st go round the jars came pre sterile.

ok. well what would you suggest to use as my medium for chamber once these have colonized :??: Also, did you take a look at jar#1 GT :??: Is that contaminant :??:

nowhere, it just harbors disease and has no real purpose, it is a bad hack, you cannot control humidity or co2 with the stuff.

BUMP.. Dang, still no positive answer as to if the jar#1 -GT is possible contaminated :??: :(
also, if not use perlite as my medium in my fruiting chamber, exactly what should I go with :??:
