Help a noob out ... answer some questions ...

#1790790 - 08/08/03 02:33 AM (23 years, 2 months ago)

I have spent a while reading around this site. I live on the search page practically. I have come to love the OTD drama ... it's like Jerry fucking Springer in text format :smile:

... But anyway ... I have a question about Invitro growing. How hard is it to start growing with. I really don't have the room or privacy to use the pf-tek. So please don't suggest it, that's what I wanted to use in the first place. is it very common for the shroomies to rot growing Invitro? Also I hear the abort rate is high Invitro, any truth to that? lets see, what else? Ohhh, I am an amateur piercer and I was wondering, would an autoclave work in place of the PC? I have a hospital grade autoclave for sterilizing my needles, jewelry, and various supplies. I was hoping that would work, then I can save a little money that way, as I wouldn't have to buy the PC. ummm ... Invitro can be stored under a bed, in a closet, things like that for the colonizing and fruiting phase, straight through till harvest correct. Is cold shocking in the fridge a must? If so, what is the shortest period of time I could keep the jars in there and still have it work? Also about how many jars would be good for a personal amount growing invitro? Maybe even 3 people worth? Also as a point of reference, how many jars (invitro) can be done with a 10cc syringe? .... Okay overall I guess I'm looking for Pros and Cons of Invitro too ... I'm such a pain in the ass. I hope someone out there takes the time to read and answer this noob bullshit ...

-Peace-

auto clave will dry the substrate
invitro is easy,kramer has had several jars that were left over and left out where they got some light start pinning invitro (ks,eq,cambo,and b+)
kramer has inoculated over 20 1/2 pint jars with a 10cc syringe ,but you should shoot for 10-15. cold shocking is not a must
mytopia?somewhere around here is a link to a good invitro tek
says kramer
