Grain 2 Grain or pull LC? (no flowhood)
    #15668118 - 01/15/12 02:25 AM (12 years, 5 months ago)

I have a couple of Rye jars about colonized, 1 each of EQ and Cambodian. I want to start doing some small semi bulk casing grows to get a better harvest quality & quantity over BRF cakes.

I don't have a flow hood and only 1 jar of each type. So, should fill the jars w/sterile water and pull out a clean LC from the jars to inoculate the other grain jars, or risk the grain to grain w/o the flow hood?

Thanks for the help.

Risk a G2G?

If you use a glove box and wipe everything down properly you'll be fine. GLC would probably work too.

Actually not everyone was a noob.  Being a noob is a very new phenomenon.  Many people, the great majority in fact, were simply "beginners", "novices" or "new to mushroom growing".  Being a "noob" is reserved, and in fact created specifically for and by, the newer, much more lame generations coming about.

+1. G2G is not that difficult. What you want is still air inside your glovebox. GLC works great too but G2G is usually the fastest way to expand your mycelium. Your choice.

Thanks Guys,
I'll see if I can find a way to put a large enough glove box together and try the G2G. I have been doing everything in a "clean room"-ish type set-up rather than glove box or flow-hood. I just close off all drafts, spray with Lysol,10% bleach, or alcohol...each where they are appropriate. Then I have a small tote that I leave over the sensitive items as much as possible: spore prints, syringes, inoculation loop. It's too small to really put arm holes through, so I tilt it up a little and do what I have to fast as possible. (12" x 12" x 7" deep) Using the needle through a sponge soaked in 91% alcohol for the jars. It's worked for me so far w/o any contams. But you could probably cure your latest flu by just walking through there an hour before inoculation night. :psychoactiveair:

The risk part of it is that my other half thinks I already have way too many totes and equipment laying around, when you include the SGFC. She's been very cool to not hassle me too much on this hobby, so I try to accommodate as much as I can. In fact, her OCD about cleanliness and clutter has probably played a big role in me avoiding contams so far. If I can show her the benefits of the grain, maybe she won't sweat the additional tote for a proper glovebox.

So, injecting LC through fiberfill with sterile syringe is probably safer than opening jars and pouring. That's mainly what's spawned my question/post, no pun intended. :wink:

UPDATE!

Too funny. I did an impromptu still air box. Did you ever build a fort or tent when you were a kid in the bedroom with blankets, chairs, etc.? Well, picture that with kitchen appliances and aluminium foil. I tipped that small 12" x 12" tote tipped over on it's side, set up a blender on one side, paper towel dispenser on the other, both just in front of the tote. Then draped foil over the thing to make kind of like the old school cameras with the blanket over the photographer's head. So, I had basically a box with the front side panel taken out, me sitting at the front. :stirthepot:

Sprayed it all down and wiped everything with alcohol. Add in all the usual cleanliness things like anti-bacterial hand/arm & face wash, gloves, and surgical mask, and clean cotton shirt. And...

...BAM! My G2G jars went over great! The two new jars already have nice white berries spread evenly throughout and the master jar is about 60-70% recovered as well.  :amanitajar: :suckit: :dancer: :awedance:  :headbang3:


Whew. Well, since I've already gone completely overboard with the freakin' smileys, does anyone else just find this one a little creepy?  :scaryshroom: And, I guess it was supposed to, seeing as how it's name is "scaryshroom"  :slowtard:
