MS to LC, the worst way i know.. but why exactly?

Please im a little confuse.. i know is the worst way.. but why? If the MS syringe is clean and you sterilized the needle each time you inject MS.. why is going to get contam?

because prints are almost never truly clean, we fruit in non sterile conditions

thats simple with spore syringes you just knock up jars and wait, with a lc you wait a week or two for it to colonize another few days to show growth on grains, if its not clean you just waisted almost a month, with agar what ya see is wut ya get

Noo i mean.. If Spore syringes are almost contam every time, why we have a better success rate with grains than with LC?

I am just a noob to this how ever I am having some great results with MS and LC I am working with GT and B+ out of 4 LC jars only one contamed ! using water from the tap I found unreliable results so I started using water from my fish tank ( boiled then pressure cooked) using home make self healing injection ports I just nocked up 12 half pint jars and had full colonization with no contams its possible I just hit the MS jack pot but im getting some really nice fruits on pf cakes all knocked with MS LC

it's just a pain in the ass because you can't spot contams in lc's for the most part so agar to lc is your most reliable bet

An LC is more habitable to bacteria as well as mold. So instead of one spore germinating in a grain jar you have thousands in an LC.
You provide an ideal environment for everything to grow.
This is why bucket tek fails from time to time, from spawn that was not truly clean but looks otherwise so.

Hmm no I'm sorry, i don't get it.. i though a single grain is also an ideal home for everything.
And you said "one spore is germinating in a grain jar" i though it was millions of spores germinating in a grain jar in both MS syringe and MS-LC?

Yep if your doing spore you want to do agar first so you can see what you have. I wasted 4 months so far, trying to do LC from a MS and a few pounds of grain's just to find this out. And even doing agar is a pain in my ass. IF YOU HAVE SPORE SAVE some time and find out what you have with agar first. There is only a few ways to make sure spores is with out a contam. I am get tired of using bleach to clean every time I try spores.

The only use i can find for LC is for inoculate myco bags without having the problem of open air exposure, like we do with grains.

yup u nailed it!! i only use LC for grain bags b/c i only have an SAB that is small so grain to bag is hard. i have done it with success but its too iffy for me. I'm only using a 66qt tote for my SAB. i always test my LC tho, ALWAYS. and i ONLY start them with agar wedge, not spores

Just to expand on this.
When you knock up a jar with spores. Everything starts from 'zero'. There might be bacterial contamination in the syringe. But there is a good chance that spores will germinate before the bacteria can ever take a foothold.
If you inject a spore solution into a highly aqueous/nutritious environment just for the purpose of germination and colonization, you're almost GUARANTEED to germinate/multiply any contamination that may have been in the water of the spore solution.
Let's not forget also that LC is dynamic. It is not 'clean or not clean' in the general sense. Perhaps one week after MS LC inoculation and colonization of myc in the LC, you use this inoculate to inject five jars. They all turn out good. No problem. You leave the LC on the shelf for two weeks before you do your next round of jars.
In those two weeks, contaminating bacteria that may have only been starting to divide when you did your first inoculation, will now overrun the entire LC.
The dynamic of LC makes it unreliable. The older the LC the more likely you're going to get contaminated results.
I've inoculated with LC and had success. But I probably won't do it again.
When I work with agar I can visually see what I'm growing. I can cut away from contamination. I can do this as many times as it takes.
With LC it's going to be a crapshoot.
Why work with MS inoculation of LC when you can just inoculate your jars, then for a small investment, culture and clone from the results you've produced which almost guarantees you success (with a little patience)
That being said. If you're trying to inoculate 100 jars and you only have money for 1 ms syringe then maybe LC is a quick and easy way to quickly expand your inoculate.
But most people don't have a gun to their head to inoculate a hundred jars in one week.

Well.. that was the kind of answer that i was looking for..
Exactly how an aqueous medium multiply contamination's?
How good will be if we could suck an agar wedge with a syringe, lol.

A spore syringe is made from sterile water.
An LC is made from a nutrient rich aqueous mixture.
In the spore syringe, any contamination will be struggling to find nutrients to divide and expand. Just as spores probably won't be germinating for a long long time in there (though it does happen from time to time)
In sterile water growth is slow.
Once you inject this mixture into a nutrient rich environment, both the spores AND the bacteria have ideal conditions to grow.
In the water of a spore syringe, neither the contamination or the spores had an ideal environment to propagate.
Once they have sugars to feed off then it's a giant free for all. The spores may win in the first week simply by the sheer number of inoculation points. This is why some jars made in the first week of an LC's life may be fine.
Over time though any contamination that was in the syringe will slowly begin to colonize every place in the medium that the mycelium HASN'T colonized.
At this point, when you you suck up your LC into a syringe, you're getting (roughly, this is just for perspective) equal parts mycelium culture and bacteria / mold.
When you inject spore solution into a grain jar where you have 100 spores to every bacterial cell (again I'm just throwing numbers into the wind for perspective) then the spores are going to have a higher chance of colonizing before the contamination.
If you inject a solution where there is basically 50/50 mycelium / bacteria / mold, the contamination will almost always outrun your culture.

Right thats is my point too. IF you have more contam's then real spore your going to lose. and remember the higher the temp the faster cottam's grow. best to transfer your dish to a new dish as soon as you see growth and keep going till you have the best dish posable. maybe a month or 2 but then make a LC from a clean agar dish and your going to be over run with a clean grow.. Spore's are very ruff to do if you unsure about where they came from...Never heat your dish's
Was going to say I use potato starch and agar to make my dishes. at times i use the starch to make my LC too you can do many things with just starch.

No worries your great you hit it on the nail. i was just adding my 2 cents to what you had said. If you like to gamble then dont worry what in your MS and just waist 100 jars and hope you get 50 of them to work. but If you know every MS has a 50/50 rate then you do agar.

I've gone ms to lc many times. If you know what healthy mycelium looks like in lc, you CAN spot a bad one. And I'd say you've got a 75 percent chance of it working out.

I have to ask just for the hell of it. all the venders sell these MS to people with contams in them and i know a spore print would be a lot better to use. Just all someone has is a MS to use. Now we know its a crap shot in most cases. What is the best way to go about using these syringes. Do we still want to do a drop into agar? wait till there is some white myclem growth and transfer it to a new dish? Or shot up some grain and take a spot to a agar dish and try to transfer to a clean growth get rid of the water is the hard part I wish I was smart and just found a vender with prints in the first place. But can some one say the best procedure to make a syringe work out. With out just a roll of them dice.

You'll probably get a lot of different answers to this. Some people may tell you to squirt it on to agar.
Personally, I say just do PF Tek to get yourself some fast fruits. Then clone a healthy looking fruit or make your own prints and run agar from that.
A spore syringe from a reputable vendor is probably safe to use for brown rice jars and I've used them for bulk as well. If vendor made spore syringes weren't at least SOMEWHAT reliable no one would ever use them.

even with agar, u won't know its a contam till u try it man, sorry to say. i only make LC with agar, and it still gets fucked up occasionally. u really really can't tell if its con tamed if its LC, i promise. certain things u will know for sure (prolonged bubbles after shaking is bad, black, green, etc is bad), but overall its very difficult to tell if the LC is clean. those aren't pins either, its just mycelium suspended in water. ur pics are blurry, not that it matter b.c its LC, but with an agar drop into LC, the wedge will start to look fluffy as it grows out (kinda like when u drop in grain, and it gets fluffy around the agar before it spreads to the grain if u left the wedge on top) at which point, swirl it up, and those marbles will help get the myc off the wedge and starting their own growth. DEFINITELY test it on a another plate before using.

if u only have spores, don't waste those on LC, just use those for grain or agar.

I finally got a good dish and now have tons of myclem to make a first ever cube. Made my own agar. Did 20 full size dishes and 50 mini rounds. and 10 no pour dishes. My mini's keep drying out to fast. I am having to full to the rim. going to take and make some GLC as this is what i use for my shiitakes. Working on a deal with a farm that's been supplying the whole state here the last 30 years. Wholesaling to grocery stores. As I build up my warehouse. Over the next 2 years. I am learning all I can. I have over 200 blocks now growing and plan on way more. For farmers market. As a bulk seller for this wholesaler. They have worked out a great capital investment with me.
