Thoughts on this cultivation strat.
    #9807325 - 02/16/09 10:51 AM (15 years, 1 month ago)

This has been posted before, I'm sure.  But never hurts to share info and I've got nothign else to do since I'm waitin 10 minutes for the lysol to take effect; I figure I'll to through and share my new cultivation procedure.

First, if you follow the BRF cake tek, you have basically a 2 week cultivation period, 1 week consolidating period, 24 hour dunk/roll and 1 week fruiting period.  That's roughly 29/30 days.

Grain methods require up to 3 weeks spawn colonization, 1 week consolidation, up to a week worth of bulk colonization, 1 week casing period, then a 1 week fruiting period.  That's roughly 7 weeks, over 50 days. 

In other words, BRF is nearly twice as quick.  Also, grains are more prone to contaminants and more difficult to sterilize.  This means with a spore print (very likely to contain contaminants) has a much better chance at BRF cake survival.

So, my plan from here on is to immediately use my prints to inoculate BRF.  This will give me the a final product in half the time, with more success rate.  Then, I can safely pick and choose which fruits to use for LC and agar.  This gives you a better chance of sterile innoculants to use for your larger bulk projects, as well as increasing speed.  The final bonus is the ability to choose your best fruits to clone/isolate into bulk grows, so you don't waste more grain and time on weak,small or slow fruits.

So, there you have it, my new procedure.  And just in time for making an LC syringe...

Not quite.  BRF cakes are half pint, and with grains we use quart jars, for four times the product in the same amount of time.  You don't need to wait for consolidation when spawning to bulk.

True, I wasn't actually meaning to 'consolidate,' but it seems most of the teks (yes, maybe outdated) suggest waiting a week after your grains appear fully colonized.  Or am I wrong on that?  Quite possible, I'm not searching teks at the moment, just trying to pull from recollection.


But even with that week removed, you're still comparing 4 weeks to 6, right?
