2 spores really enough to colonize grain successfully?
    #19268468 - 12/12/13 10:43 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I was wondering if a minimal amount of multispore solution would really give the same growth results as a full cc of solution like I've used in the past.

I put this to the test and inoculated 7 wbs jars with 2 - 3 'drops' of multispore solution.

2 weeks later only three jars have signs of growth and it's going incredibly  fucking sloooooooooooow.  We're talking about barely visible clusters of mycelium.

So conclusion: While a few spores may be more than enough to initiate growth, using an entire cc of solution gives you more inoculation points and (hopefully) faster colonization times to outrun possible contamination.  Same reason why use 4 - 7 grain jars for a monotub instead of one.

Just thought I'd share. :derp:
