Giving growing another shot, need some help
    #5122985 - 12/30/05 02:59 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)

I had a grow 3 months ago, had one cased tray that made 1 flush before contam and 3 others that got contaminated before fruiting. I am going to try again and I am going to improve sterilization techniques. I am planning on building a simple fishtank heater incubator, and then giving each jar a cased tupperware container. I think this will cut down on contamination and allow the shrooms to go through their flush cycle. I am thinking about growing 2 different strains, and i'm looking for those that are the least hassle. Any help or tips you guys could give would be great

If you made it to casing, then the casing mix or sterile techniques from that point on were the problem IMO. Use a pH buffer, such as crushed oyster shell or lime in your casing mix and make sure you keep things clean. "Less contaminant prone" strains are BS IMO.

You could always build a glove box for inoculation. There's a number of different teks out there, check the archive at the top of this forum. I built mine for like.. maybe 12-15 bucks? And that included gloves, the box, dryer duct for extending the arms, and glue/caulk. I had the plexiglass lying around for the window.

For your incubator, is a simple fishtank heater incubator the same thing as a http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/2921939/an/0/page/0 << the tub-in-tub? Because that's the one you should use.

I would advise doing a liquid culture [LC] while you knock up your cakes, just so you don't have to buy more syringes afterwards.
