Instead of starting the LC from spores, use Grain LC from a colonized jar,
That will help a bunch.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

Update as promised:

My friend of a friend seems to be having luck. Out of 18 jars only 1 shows signs of potential problems.

AFOAF has done 6 jars of popcorn with Malabar Coast, 6 jars WBS of Mazatapec, 6 jars of rye with Penis Envy.

So far the Popcorn appears to be going the fastest however for spawning to bulk the WBS seems like a better choice although it seems slow. My FOAF didn't do the rye until like 5-6 days later and it's now showing very good growth and could indeed actually be the fastest colonizer. It is hard to say because they are all different "strains", some might be more aggressive at colonizing than others.

My FOAF's liquid culture is also looking good and once he spawns these jars he will start up a new batch and knock them up with PE LC.

One Jar seems to have some green mold growing in a very small area but the rest of the jar is growing mycellium at a very fast rate. My FOAF is going to let this grow out in the jar but most likely toss it. He wants to see how Rye does and if the Mycellium will out grow the mold.

He is planning on spawning 2 quarts grain per 6.5quart storage container. I guess this is a 1:3 ratio?

In any case the AA 1925x seems to have fixed most of my friends problems; in addition he now has a known good/sterile LC to work from.

So my FOAF did 18 jars and only 1 contam'd.. the rest are looking great. That's a 94% success rate (I think). That's not bad, going from pretty much 100% failure to 94% success; looks like he got his procedure and proper equipment together.

Question.

My FOAF had 1 rye jar that got infected early on with what looked like trich. He set it aside from the other jars but let it grow out. The mycellium has now taken over the trich and it is a very bright white color. Does this mean the Mycellium has consumed the trich??? Or is the jar still pretty much contamed?

Shake the jar and you will find out I bet its just dormant in the center of the jar. I would throw it out. But I'm almost 100% sure that after you shake it you will find out that it is still infected. Unless it never was in the first place. SHAKE THAT BITCH!
