Sclerotia: Darkness or Light? Temperature tolerance? Small Jars?
    #14583306 - 06/09/11 03:22 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hey Guys,
Some questions from a complete nooby. Didn't find them anywhere else. I want to inoculate some glasses now, then leave and not touch them again for 10 weeks, while I'm on summer vacation. I'll then harvest in early September. Doable? Considering what was written so far, it looks like it - what do you think?

1. Do I keep the colonized, sclerotia-growing jars in the darkness? That would make things easier for me. If not, how much light do they need?
Answer: They're kept on a normal light-circle, "room-light". (I assume only after they're colonized.

2. How susceptible are they to too low/too high temperature? Wherever I keep them, temperature may vary, and I won't be able to react to that.
Answer: More tolerant of temperature below the recommended span. Simply will colonize slower (which is fine by me, I've got all summer, after all.

3. Is it really problematic to use small 1-pint (475ml) jars? It said in the sclerotia FAQ that small glasses don't make sense. But I happen to have shitloads of them, because that's where I get my spaghetti sauce from (Yumm, spaghetti!). Anyway - if I stretch my single spore syringe using LC, is there a distinctive disadvantage to many 1-pint jars as compared to fewer large jars?


Thanks guys!
F

Thanks Koolaid, that answers the light question! However, I still don't know how sensitive they are to digressions from the recommended temperature, or if they grow less well in small jars.

If you are worried it will get too hot, then put them somewhere on the cool side. It will colonize slower but with less risk of contam.

A day/night temperature differential won't hurt a thing.  Let them get small amounts of ambient room light, but don't put them in a bright window or anything.
