Bulk Supplies...
    #17313275 - 12/01/12 06:10 AM (12 years, 1 month ago)

I just ordered most everything i need for my adventures in bulk, can i get some feedback on these items to assure there the right ones before my order is past the cancellation time. Please and thank you shroomerites.

In addition to this i also ordered 20x 100mm Petri Dishes for isolation.

Thanks in advance for your taking the time to double check my supply list for me.

How many Petris would you suggest.. keep in mind this is my first attempt at isolation / bulk grows so im sure there will be marginal errors on my part.

its always cheaper to buy in bulk, and if youre new its gonna take a few runs to get agar down pat.

a case of 500

np bro, if you get tired of mixing and making agar, you can also order PDA from mycosupply, its just add water.

agar is the way to go, once you get it you wont use another syringe again

Don't use high temp RTV as it doesn't cure well at the low temps we use and tends to peel off.  If you insist on using silicone on your lids, use the regular silicone, not the red high temp stuff.

I used normal silicone for my jars
only had one run so far at 15 psi for 90 minutes and
nothing melted away - 2nd run it started crumbling...

The tube might have been a dollar more for the high temp. I figured it was going into the PC so why not.  Haven't had any peeling issues yet, although the jars are still pretty new.

Spending all this money on agar supplies,do you have a flow hood?

It will save you more money in the long run in dishes than any Ebay sale!

i guess it would have helped if i had mentioned that The space suit is to be cut up.. its my source for tyvek i was going to use this lid tek i came across here on the shroomery for grain lids.. i cant find the exact tek (I'm on my laptop at work and my shits bookmarked at home) but this one is very similar.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8364158#8364158

Damion5050's coir tek is what im using for my first bulk.

I made a LC lid using regular 100% silicone and its doing fine its been cooked 2x now. But I've never used a PC before and figured the lid tek was calling for HT RTV because of the PC. Thats awesome save me 9$ or w/e it is because I've a whole tube of reg at the house -1 lid. Thanks for the heads up RR :thumbup:

No i dont have a FH i pretty much bought the agar and petries to play with in a SAB. Ill be making MS syringes from harvest prints, as well as cloning from fruit bodies. If my SAB agar project fails no biggie. It will give me plenty of practice, but i think i can be sterile enough to make it work.

A flow hood is not needed for agar work. A SAB will work just fine.

A still air box doesn't even have to be sanitary, all it has to do is provide a "still air" environment.

If the air is still, it's impossible for a contam to blow on your work.

You'll definitely need more than 20 dishes. It can take up to 20 dishes for just one round of isolates. Considering you start from spores, you'll potentially have hundreds of sub strains on one dish, and you'll need to isolate more than just one of those because there is a chance that you isolate a non producing strain, in which case you've wasted your time. But if you isolate 4-6 sub strains from the starter dish your chances of getting a fruit producing strain is better

qft , theyre actually better, the only thing you need to focus on in a sab is a contam falling down onto your work ( if your using the box properly)

Thank u for clearing up why so many are needed i didnt know it took that many...for now tho ill be using them to clone ... as a way to get familiar with agar before i mess with isolating. I have 7 PFTEK's in a SGFC now and 10 more that will be ready to go in tuesday of this coming week. when i get fruits im gonna clone and print but im going to be doing G2G's like i say i just wanna get familiar with agar since I've never touched the stuff before.

Any info you feel like tossing my way im like a sponge. Thx for your responses, always helpful.
