hell yeah, the exposed area of recently flamed needle is 100's of times smaller than a regular or wide mouth mason jar opened to drop an agar wedge or do g2g over and over and over, come on now :smirk:



after well over 100 G2G transfers I have yet to see one contamination.
However I have injected both pink mold, black mold and bacteria into jars after only 50 or so injections.

ok pasty if agar is so good , why are you getting stealthy mold in some of your jars, where is it coming from?



loki your a one man army here lol, i like lc's but your arguing for nuthing,had you started from a wedge for your original jar and not tried to use faulty logic i would have said.....
:manofapproval:
but like i said faulty logic isn't gonna win ya this one:shocked:




ha! faulty logic? whats the probability of an apparently clean colonized grain jar is contamed vs the probability of an apparently clean agar cultured is contamed?

you tell me? if the gap is that wide, because from that point on a needle inoc is less risky than blowing the lids of your sterile jars to drop stuff in

funny thing is I have a bottle of solidified agar and a few sterilized glass petris for a week now, and haven't gotten around to pour them lol

you think agar will still be viable? the  bottle has a SFD and covered with foil LOL

no I didn't. I was just trying to illustrate the fact that it is quite possible to open a jar without contaminating it and that syringes are not always 100% safe. I'm not trying to get into an argument here I'm simply stating what I feel works best.

Yep my best lc was done that way :super: even picked up some of the tint from the food coloring in the agar and grew pretty thick in the syringe as well.

when you say LC from a wedge is just the wedge mixed with water or it has some nutrients like honey or LME?

:whathesaid:

agar is way easier then the needless step of making a GLC(grain liquid culture)

I draw up blanks trying to find a reason to use one. Inoculate with a wedge skip the step of making the LC since you will want to make a LC from agar anyway. Then G2G the jar out and avoid syringes alltogether.

LC can be handy sometimes for cubes but you can decide that for yourself after you get to the point at which you would feel comfortable experimenting with it after you have good sterile techniques using agar
agar is super easy, the first few times you practice with it are the hard part.

You can nock up more jars per petri dish with wedge>mini grain jar>glc = 100's of jars

Its less expansion than wedge>1 jar>8 jars> 64 jars = 100's of jars

Yet with the grain step you can give a chance for contams to show unlike LC which will hide them.

Anyway, I was just thinking of doing a simple experiment. Having only used PF jars in the past, how would just taking a bunch of verm and BRF (maybe with some peat moss), putting it inside an aluminum tray, PC, and then simply inoculating the verm tray, and when it's ready throwing into shotgun. Would this work? It's kind of just a thought, but it seems pretty easy, unless I can find an equally simple way of using things like bird seed. I never built a monotub, and I haven't found as many tutorials or videos on it as the millions that are about PF. It's not that that would stop me, just makes it easier when you have a visual guide to exactly what to do. I remember my first time with PF I kept thinking I'd fuck up, dunking and rolling being such big deals, and then after a while its just pretty much second nature. But that's with a lot of good help and advice, otherwise I wouldn't even know to dunk, for example.

As for this inoculant debate, I'm not as concerned about that at the moment, more so about the fruiting

lol yeah sorry for the thread jack lol
but no the spores won't germinate on verm, just use some cakes to knock up a mono

Does it matter whether I use regular BRF cakes or should I use WBS jars? Either way, why wouldn't BRF/Verm in a tray work?

it will work, cakes are a great place to start spawning...oh okay i see your edit now lol!
you want something that is as tall as it is wide for cakes because the myc grows out in all directions and you will have better results just simply making regular cakes and spawning them to trays of bulk for your sgfc

Sounds like a plan! Should I use a bunch of small trays or 1 just about the size of the SGFC? (I believe something like 77qt) I was getting good results off of just 10 cakes and I really like the SGFC
