The journey to find my system * 1
    #19267579 - 12/12/13 07:42 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Well, I mentioned in one of my other grow threads that I wanted to start spawning to bulk monotubs using wild bird seed.  I am doing a couple multispore runs first, to find, isolate, and clone a good specimen using agar to use for the future.  I have all of the equipment I need for all this now including a 23 qt pressure cooker.  I made my lids for the spawn jars this evening, and I am sharing the pictures for you to see.  This thread will be me, learning from you, and documenting feeling my way to my own system of growing.  Please feel free to critique anything you see me doing that is off, thanks!

I bought synthetic filter discs, and am using TranscendingLife's lid tek

injection ports for needles. If you get into agar and do g2g those will be rendered useless.

Someone pointed that out to me, but, I had ordered them, already...  :awkwardglance: 

Besides, I have a plethora of lids.  I bought another pack of lids, and I have the plastic lids for those jars, also.  Is RR's three hole lid under the sfd the preferred way, or is there a "slicker" way?

Wbs has been rinsed, soaked, and boiled then strained.  Got them pretty dry, no clumping, etc.  Placed into jars.  They are currently enduring 15psi hell in my pressure cooker.  120 minute timer has started.  Then I'll leave them be for 6-8 hours before inoculation.  I am doing MS a few runs while I do agar in the background to isolate a nice potent mushroom.

LOL, I've already decided to get 12 more jars today, and 2 more 66 quart totes....That way, I can start two tubs at a time with a delay for the other two tubs....four tubs total...delusions of grandeur?

Yeah, three will fit lying down on top.  I have to adjust my wbs measurement when rinsing....I underestimated, but, my plan is to run 10 at a time.

UPDATE:

Here are some pics of my agar progress.  I took 8 clones from the first mature mushroom in my first monotub.  The pictures are four days apart.  I also did 10 MS plates with a single drop of spores in the center of each plate.  There is a little progress, but I think I'll take pics of those when the second set of clone plates show signs.  That's nine more plates of clone tissue.  I will isolate more until I have a monoculture (correct term?)  I have a MS grain jar also, so I have time to isolate very well.  Two more tubs until I innoc jars with agar wedges, so I can take at least 4 more clones and grow them out to decide which one I will make into slants and keep.  This is very fun and rewarding.  I think I am overdue for contams, but, I will take this streak for as long as it goes.

If you go to make some filtered plastic lids (my preference) be sure to scuff up the plastic a little with some sand paper so the silicone will adhere better. I have also found that using a nice thick bead of silicone is the trick to making lids that hold up well over time.

Already done, including the scuffing.  :jackiechanofapproval:

Some agar updates:

These are from the first donor mushie.  I am going to isolate some sectors tonight.












These are my multi spore plates.  Lots of isolating to do with these:



The second run of clones I lost 5 plates to contams.  The sleeve of petri dishes wasn't tight to the tube of dishes....probably air got in there??  The plastic didn't have that vacuum-sealed look to it.  Bright circles of orange, and cloudy grey liquid was is all five of the contaminated dishes.  I immediately chucked them.

My grain master jar is looking to be 85% colonized, after I shook it 5 days ago at roughly 30% colonization.  I plan to do gtg transfers, and make 10 jars of spawn.  This is a multi spore run, so I will be taking tissue from the good performers of this tub, also.  In 3 months, I plan on having 1 or 2 isolates that I will keep growing out.

wow, nice job there! looks like you have some good monocultures already, from that first clone. have you started test grows yet with these? damn that's a lot to work with. bet the grows will be great from those...I would even leave a couple intact, with different sectors growing together, just for fun....your havin fun now!...peace...

UPDATE"

So, I took some sectors from the C1 clones, and they are all showing growth.



I used the original agar dishes I took the samples from to inoculate 10 grain jars, and I'm planning on doing a tub with these to test potency and performance.


Tissue from C2 clone is doing well, and my next project is to take sectors from these, then use wedges to inoculate my next run of grain jars.


As always, please be brutal with your criticism, thanks all!

Here's a bit of an update.  My first grain jars inoculated with agar wedges from my first isolate are looking pretty good, so far.  Nice growth. 



Question, next time I do this, should I shake the jar a bit to get the agar down into the jar, or just lay it on top?  Or, does it not even matter? 

Here's a pic of my second grain jars with isolate number two.  I just inoculated two days ago with agar wedges, also.  This isolate has four more dishes that I need to transfer to.  The mycellium has almost grown over the entire surface of the dish.



Here's the transfers from C1:



I have two tubs that are the recipients of my final cakes (at least for a while) and I will select tissue from good performers to clone and isolate.  I am up to 20 grain jars sitting on my shelf, and I am contemplating buying another couple cases so I can keep it going.....this is addictive!

i like ur method of covering all bases at once! agar, g2g'ing, cloning, ms agar, monos, etc.  i like to have a lot going at one time too, less large grows, more small ones till i find just the right strain, substrate, etc. keeps me busy and out of trouble, kind of obsessive (and addicting like u said) but i don't spend my money on anything else (anymore...)...so :shrug:

some of those clones plates look really good, maybe already an iso...?  i can't zoom because the site it takes me to when i click it does not load properly

have u tried filter bags yet?  i just did 2 the other day, most likely one is messed up (they take along time to cool, and i didn't realize that before dumping a qt of spawn in) but it may help avoid costs/space/time with jars. thats y i am beginning to experiment with them anyways..

UPDATE:


Guess what I just got finished doing?  Inoculating grain masters with agar wedges, and isolating sectors for the second time from some MS plates I grew.  I have a good isolate of C1 going, and the tub was just put into fruiting today.  C2 had a lot of sectors that needed isolating, and I have done 2 runs of isolating, and tonight I did the G2G for my next mono run.  HAve fun, and I promise there will be some pics next time it's updated.

Isolate C1:
They are dense, and have a lot of weight.  The few early maturers ended up being about 120 wet grams so far.  I have tested this batch with 2 grams dried, and I'll have to say they are plenty potent.  I will be making a master slant with this one.  I have isolate C2 also going, but has not finished colonizing, yet.

Sizl thanks for the consistent updates. It has been great following your progress. Look forward to see what these isolates pump out in the future.

Also, tried this batch last night again, and wooboy! They are potent. I was going for a mild trip, just to gauge the potency, I ate 30 grams wet.....wow. It felt like a 4-5 gram trip. This is a good one, as soon as my test tubes come, I am going to make a master slant of this one.  I have two more tubs going, and two more isolates colonizing their respective jars now. I'm picking up a few more tubs tomorrow, so, when I get going, I can run six tubs at once. This has been so fun to grow these. Also, I bought some edible spores, so, I'm going to start that, as well. Thanks all for the good words, and encouragement. 4 months ago, when I started, I was overwhelmed with the information, and all the active shroomerites helped steer me the right way (also, the search function!)

Great journal. This will be extremely helpful when I get into agar, g2g, etc.

Keep up the great work!!
