Newbie kicking self in ass.
    #1534390 - 05/09/03 11:20 AM (20 years, 9 months ago)

My friend just completed his first innoc. experiment and he is now kicking himself in the ass for a stupid mistake he made and was warning others against this. I know a lot of you will probably laugh at this but some of you out there are newbies so read up and don't make the same mistake my friend did. If at the end of your jars you still have innoculant left in the syring DO NOT RANDOMLY PICK OUT JARS TO GIVE ANOTHER SHOT OF INNOCULANT TO. Take the ones you innoculated last and go backwards from there. By selecting jars at random my friend contaminated half of his jars with lipstick mold that he picked up somewhere towards the end of the initial innoculation.

flame sterilization of the needle between
every hole on every jar is also good practice
to get into.

cutting corners will usually cost more pain than
you would have saved had things worked out
ideally.

My biggest "newbie" mistake was using my "disinfectant" spray instead of my "misting" spray for my casings. The difference? My disinfectant was 1:9 bleach:water. Took me about a week to realize it smells really bleachy, and by then it was all dead.

If you used enough in the first place you probably arejust messing with the water content. I would do it right the first time and save a lil inoculent in case you lose everything.

Yeh I probably screwed up my first innoc job. I get everything pretty sterile, I have a small heat pad in the chamber keeping it at low 80s. But I'm pretty sure nothing is going to grow (although, I would like some contams to grow just to see what they look like in RL). I left the substrates out for awhile after sterilized to see if there were any contams and there weren't, so probably nothing will grow. It was all so hectic feeling, I was rushing to get the needle in and out, I didn't know what to do with the jars once innoculated. Well I'll check on them in like a week to see what fun stuff have emerged. Meanwhile I've given up growing any legal mushrooms. But a friend of mine is going to use the rest of my materials to try again with another six jars.
