hey thanks for this great tek, the lids look really prof now
i have done 2 Honey Lc jars by the book/tek but there was too much sediment according to my judgement, is there any chance the flowing around sediment would use as an anchorage for the mycelium? they haven't formed a dense blob as of yet, and they've been in there for more than a week
 i like the right jar more, it looks better, and it looks as if it has too types of sediment, the brown (caramelized) and tiny bits and clumps that have formed white hairs on them. The left one (short one) had too much sediment to begin with (more bio-honey) and i guess it will be discarded
what do you guys think?
now i've got bird seed and popcorn waiting to be pressure cooked and sterilized, as to test the formations in the honey Lc, do you guys think ill have any chance of success? im really new to Lc and in my country(europe) we haven't got Karo products although today at the supermarket i saw some artificial sweetener sugar with a malt-dextrose mix..frustrating..
peace out

Okay, so the Honey Lc has too much sediment and i'm overconfident with what i do, i guess those two jars in my previous thread have nothing but sediment, and the spores can't get a grip
question : Sedimentation retarded mycelium from forming. The suspended spores should be still vital right?
in this pic i want to make Lc to Lc tranfer, havent done that before

the left one is the one with sediment + spores the right one is 4% honey properly done
has anybody had success with that? remember i want to do Lc to Lc but with no clear mycleium formation from the first, just the suspended spores (or clumps)
thanks

hey thanks for the help, the last 2 hours i've been experimenting like crazy,
a) Lc to Lc b) Lc to Wild Bird Seed, and Popcorn ! (properly done with polyfill fae, and silicone inoculation points)
c) Alive Pf-tek cake mycelium (3cm x 3cm)(that has produced 3 flushes already) into honey Lc! (glovebox- inner part of cake with sharp knife)
d) Re-Inoculated 10 pf-tek jars after 20 days that show no activity, with honey lc in question (strange thing is that in the syringe that sucked up the honey lc although didnt contain any myc blobs, i couldn't see any typical black spores floating around, though i shot more that 5-6 cc of dense spore medium 10 days ago)
yes this time i used distilled water, you are right, there is tremendous change in my lc appearance and i hope this time it'll work
thanks for the help and guidance

Hey thanks for the tip, though i have to say that its my Pf-tek Jars that haven't colonized in 20 days, not my Lc that is why i shot them around 3-4 cc honey lc again to test..
it is highly probable that you are right and it is contamed, will know soon for sure though, time will tell as Bob Marley sais

hey the bird seed is really cool, popcorn is ok, rye berries is the last i haven't tried and i guess the best of them all
will keep this process posted once i get any results
tx!

i think ill end up with a bag of Agar-agar powder and a series of petri-dishes just to be sure!the latest bummer is that the honey lc jars i made, created sediment 2 days after it was pc'ed..strange
i bought me organic rye berries for 1.50 euro (about 2 bucks) per 500gr of product(total rip-off) they look nice, but will not be touching them until i have solid happy white mycelium, ready colonize em like there's no tomorrow..
i live in southern europe in the country that invented the 12 gods of Olympus(not the camera-lol) and has now a huge deficit to balance out
you say organic wheat berries worked for you as well?? now thats interesting, wheat berries are much cheaper than rye.. share your experience! do you think they're better than rye?
thanks
