Can you use coir-only jars to test grain lc?
    #17976967 - 03/18/13 10:27 PM (11 years, 12 days ago)

Can you make jars that have nothing but coir and use them to test LCs? That is will the LC grow on sterilized coir if there's nothing else in there?

Would adding some verm make any difference?

This is for grain LC, would it make any difference if it's a sugar LC?

It should work, people have had great success using sterilized coir has a substrate before.

I think the growth/contams would be easier to spot on a BRF cake though

LOL

dude please don't correct my quote if you're going to be wrong.

I completely understand the difference between pasteurization and sterilization.

If I meant to say pasteurization I would have.

I have no problem if I mistype sometimes and mess up a post hence my sig.

However in this case people find great results with sterilizing coir as a substrate to spawn to.

I agree. Since the contents of the jars are not being exposed to normal air, I don't think there should be a need to use pasteurization since there isn't any need to preserve the beneficial organisms.

I would think sterilization would give a more reliable test of whether the LC is pure or not.

Not even in bags, mold does not like coir.
By sterilizing the coir it cooks it, allowing the myc to decompose it easier for food.
Myc loves sterilized coir for this reason. 

However sterilizing bulk substrates such as straw and poo would most likley end up with contams because they don't hold the contamination resistance that coir does.

Tell that to all the people that get trich from improperly pasteurized subs.

So basically what your saying here is we should all be spawning to sterlized coir? not pasteurized coir?

Guess all our TC have been wasting alot of time and energy.

First I do not recommend the majority of people sterilzing their substrates. OBVIOUSLY contam rate is higher....

At least quote in context, and yea im sure you do recomend pasteurizing over sterilizing it since it was in RR's post.

Something everybody seems to be missing here is that pasteurization and sterilization accomplish something besides killing off the bad guys.  The heat 'cooks' the substrate, making the cellular material within easier for the mycelium to break down.  This is why when people do no heat treatment at all with coir, they hardly ever reach full colonization.

I did not and never will argue that coir is much more resistant to mold than other subs, this shows nothing when quoted in full other than the fact that pasteurization and sterilization "cook" coir. which im sure we all knew. And since coir is innately resistant to contams youll have more success with a full sterilization than w/ poo. but its not reccomending you sterilize it nor does it suggest you should.
Just because you can do open air G2G's and have some success, it dosent mean you should or that its a good practice. (this isnt a burn on giz, who mentioned doing open air GTG)

lol sure... thats what happened.

you say im mad? im not mad. im reposting this here .. i posted it in the other thread as well.

"Im just trying to clarify things, all i know is when i use bucket tek i get contams, and partial sterilization was the only thing i could come up with. ive since switched to proper pasteurization and i dont see any contams before 3rd flush. maby im wayyy off base here. I know almost everyone ive chatted w/ that had issues with 5050 tek and changed to PP had no more issues, consensus? I know people like NAH420 have stated several times that they use damion5050 with great success, but out of every 4 tubs contaming wasent a good ratio for me. since switching to PP i get 3/3. :justdontknow:"

^^ still sound mad?

I know Cronicr, and your talking about jars, which i posted above i missread the thread. my bad on that after all thats what got all this started. IMO coir = cheaper than BRF.. ive never used coir for test jars, since i still had BRF laying around from my PF grows, tho i think i will for my GLC's.

I think the issue was somewhere in the conversation you presumed I recommend/thought sterilizing coir was better than pasteurizing no matter what.
When actually I just mentioned people getting good results.

but its all good and

hahaha i feel you

and yeah I kinda of baited you with telling you not to correct me...just set everything off bad.

but like cronicr says, we get bored and its either make fun of noobs putting choirs in their substrate or argue about pointless shit.
Im usually the one being the asshole about it haha

last night it was about slugs tripping.

we always find something to entertain us.

just posting here cause the threads locked lol
but seriuosly if coir is that contam resistent do you think it's a good idea to see if a lc is clean using it?

and Not really and I feel itd be a bitch to see any contams grow on it.

speaking on how contam resistant is,
that drunk grow I fruited still hasn't contamed and its didn't finish colonizing has open sub all over it.

Re: Can you use coir-only jars to test grain lc? [Re: cronicr]
    #17977526 - 03/19/13 01:02 AM (11 years, 12 days ago)

im psure you can use any substrate to test LC's in jars. If your testing spores (i know your not just tossing it out there) u need to use a sub that will allow for germination.

On a side note. Will spores germinate on sterilized coir? Im guessing not for the same reasone we were arguing above, coir is contam resistant. I know spawning to coir works because its living culture. Ive never used intentionally sterilized coir so FIIK
