Fresh Cultivators

Fresh Cultivators Born in deep south Texas, we had a passion for growing plants and trees at an early age. We found the experience rewarding and nurturing.

In 2008, our interest in the cultivation of mushrooms flourished, and, well, here we are!

It's been a minute but here's a new video!

Here's a quick video showcasing a real-world test between a Still-Air-Box and a Flowhood.
It's not a comprehensive experiment and there are many more considerations and variables to take into account, but it's definitely an interesting take on the subject.

Here we have a non-sterile spore solution dripped onto a slide and zoomed in at 4 different magnifications- 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x๐Ÿง.

As the magnification strengthens, you can begin to see a clump of a few dozen spores situated on top of each other in a way that the light of the microscope cannot pe*****te through them all, creating a dark, black blurr. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ At the 40x magnification, you'll also notice that some of the spores have begun to germinate, and the first strands of mycelium have now emerged โœจ, seeking a food source so its beautiful lifecycle can continue once again.

Here we smeared bacteria ๐Ÿฆ  onto a slide and have zoomed in at 4 different magnifications- 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x ๐Ÿ‘€. Bacteria is a common issue that home cultivators run into.

It can be the result of a simple error during the manufacturing of spore syringes ๐Ÿ’‰ and liquid cultures, particularly in labs without the proper equipment or techniques.

Unlike mold, bacteria doesn't show up in growths of different colors and textures. Rather, bacteria will begin to metabolize their food source resulting in a slimy, wet appearance. That releases that unpleasant sour and spoiled aroma we've all experienced before ๐Ÿคข.

When bacteria are present in grain, they will metabolize the grain causing it to look overhydrated and preventing spores from germinating or mycelium from growing into any areas where the bacteria is present. This is one reason bags will seem to suddenly have stalled growth ๐Ÿ˜”. In the 100x you'll notice a number of single bacterial rods distributed around streaks of agar๐Ÿงช๐Ÿงซ.
