LC Exploded With Growth!
    #7855893 - 01/09/08 08:17 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Ok so for about the past week or so the LC I made with the Karo Tek has shown little signs of growth. There was a few strands of mycelium in there after about 2 days since innoc but no other growth for about a week. I forgot to check it yesterday and decided maybe just to take one more look at it before I decided to call it a failed attempt and start over.

Well I took the jar out and made a quick glance at it... and BOOM! I saw a large piece mycelium growth about 2/3 the size of the 1g ipod nano. (it was the first thing I saw to compare it to xD) This was very exciting to me as it was the 1st definitive sign that I was doing everything right. (heh I know I am a noob at growing)

I am sure this is mycelium growth at an exponential rate rather than a contam as the 3+ months of research of mycology prior to growing has taught me at least the difference between myc and contams. =)

My only question is, what is the optimal size for letting the myc grow before taking a syringe of it? Is it harmful to do so when it is this size? (2/3 of 1g ipod nano =D ) Thanks for all your help!

Without a microscope you won't be able to tell if that mycelium is a contam or not.

Do a test jar first if you want to make sure.

Hmm. I guess that's right, as looks alone can be decieving. >.<

I guess I should have rephrased to, "It looks not to a contam as it is very fluffy and stringy white material suspended in the liquid, but it could also be a contam."

Thanks for letting me know though as I believe my excitment may have gotten the better of me. :S I'll knock up a test jar to test whether it is myc or contam. Heh good thing you reminded me to test it out, I probably would have knocked up all my jars only to find out their all contaminated, hehe. Oh well, I suppose we learn from our mistakes!

Thanks for your help!
