How to not run out of spawn?

This is my first attempt at doing a bulk grow, and I want to save some spawn so I can keep using it for new batches, kind of like a sourdough starter. Is this possible, or does the spawn go bad? What's the best way of ensuring that I have a constant supply of spawn on hand and I don't have to inoculate new jars all over again when I want to make a new batch?

Nah, master culture slants are the way to have a constant and fresh source of inoculant without having to inoculate with spores over and over. G2G & LC's are the way to expand culture.

I agree with you but If he's asking how to not run out of spawn, I doubt he's going to delve into making a slant, could be wrong though but we rarely see any who jump in the deep end early and can actually swim.

Take a live piece of culture out of the slant and inoculate agar mediums preferably in Petri dishes. Cut wedges of the live cuture from the Petri dish and inoculate sterilized jars of grain. The jars inoculated with the live culture on agar wedge will be your mother jars. Once the mother jars are fully colonized spread them out into sterilized recieving grain jars and repeat as needed/wanted.
