Wanna Step Up Your Game? Come Grow Along With Bodhisatta! Spore Swab to Spore Swab
    #19408091 - 01/12/14 12:11 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

In honor of BlueConfusion I am starting my spore to spore grow log here. Click the first sentence to go back to the origin thread blue started.

I've sent out a couple creeper spore swabs the same of which ones I have used to start this grow.

You're going to need a few things but if you're tagging along you probably already have what you need. I'll leave you to your own devices and coach people along the way as to how to get the most out of what they have. You can choose your own agar recipes etc... If you need help send me a PM or post here though, don't be shy. Please get into agar it's fun and easy.

Here's two dishes, I chose these specifically since they show contams.
The dish on the left says C.s.1.(c) this is my short hand for Creeper, swab, first dish, and plate series C. I think I went up to (f) for this grow which means I used the swab on A-F(6) dishes. The dish on the right says C.s.2.(d) so Creeper, swab, 2nd dish(agar from first dish to a new plate) and then plate series D.

I'll be taking the plate on the left and making C.s.2.(c) today and then taking the dish on the right and making C.s.3.(d)

I didn't make all 6 origin dishes at the same time that's why the plate on the left is less grown out than the plate on the right. I did D E F one day and then A B C a few days later with a different swab.



The reason for showing you these contamed dishes is to show new growers specifically that contams are not scary on dishes and everyone gets them from time to time, Well maybe not everyone, but I use a SAB and I'm very stoned when I do my dish work so :shrug: sue me. Anyway I'll be showing that you can effectively transfer away from contams and obtain a clean culture successfully.

I have agar cooking right now so the next round of dishes should be made some time tonight.

After that they'll be put to Rye grain in quart jars and then spawned to coir+verm that will be properly pasteurized.

My agar recipe is 500ml H2O to 10G agar to 10G ELME(extra light malt extract) any light spray-malt extract will work. Spray malt is the dry powder, you'll want that not the liquid most likely unless you have some way to store it. Spray malt is EXTREMELY hygroscopic so you'll learn how to deal with that quickly, word of advice don't spill it on your scale :lol:


I'll post the links to my update posts below so it's easy to follow from this post


Here's the first update

Yay another grow along thread (: I like your setup so far, andI hope we get some more people in on this.

I just started agar for my first time too, and have some B+ spores growing out right now. Going to make some transfers today so I'll be right behind you =)





I've also got some clones an agar, but they all look pretty contamed, maybe someone can help me out with what I should do? =)

I'll be watching for sure, my next grow after this round of cakes will be very similar to what you have going on.
I have one question, does agar always need some sort of nutrient added to it when you use it, or can you just use the straight powder with water?  I've seen a few peep on here add things for some benefit...but do you have to?

It's a bit hard to see, The light shining at the camera from the back of the dishes is throwing off the exposure and making the mycelium hard to see, In practice though you would just be really carefully trying to take clean mycelium and place it onto a new plate, it might take more than one try and transfer.

I bet things would germinate on just agar+water but they wouldn't do much after that. You do need some sort of nutrition like dextrose or malt extract or cat food etc... Frankhorrigan has an agar journal it should be easy to find if you just type frankhorrigan agar into the top of the screen.

Just poured up 13 dishes, weird number but I have re-usable glass dishes so I had to clean some out to sterilize them with my agar earlier this morning. These dishes will take some time to cool down and solidify then I can start doing second and third transfers respectively. Most of the time I'm letting my agar cool and sit for a few days before inoculating it just to make sure the plates are clean. I would suggest this if you're starting out. I've stopped having contams on poured plates, there always clean now. I do get some contams doing the actual transfers but that's usually my bad accidentally touching the handle of a tool to a bad surface or doing something stupid etc... Usually I'll have a good idea what dishes will show a contam because of some jankey movement I made in the SAB.

I've had some micropore tape laying around it's 1 inch wide and I never used it in this hobby ever, I bought it when I was doing PF tek and never used it since. I'm now using it to wrap my dishes and it works great. Peals off just fine on glass dishes with no residue left over, it's micropore so it's doing it's job keeping the dishes clean and safe to handle, and it's super easy to tear inside of the sab.

:thumbup:


I'm putting that dish with the mean green out to 3 more dishes for this thread in specific so that we can follow the progress from that plate up until a good clean culture and grow out.  I'll just call those dishes C.s.3t(t for trich) and I'll drop the series designation (d). I'll also put the plate that was on the left with that small spot of bacterial onto 3 new dishes and call those C.s.2b(b for bacterial) and also drop the letter designation (c) for the series too. Those are the dishes that will be part of this grow thread then just to keep it neat and to the point. So soon we will have 6 dishes 3 of them being a 2nd transfer away from bacteria and then 3 of them being a 3rd transfer and away from the green mold. I'll attempt to get isolate cultures and fruit them out for everyone's amusement.

So C.s.2.(d) is turning into 3 plates all named C.s.3t
  C.s.1.(c) is turning into 3 plates all named C.s.2b



The plate with trich(right) is having 3 small slivers taken from the 12-1 position in the picture. It's convenient that it's the best growth and also 180 from the green.

The bacterial plate(left) is having sections taken from 2,4 and 6 because that's what I felt like.
