How did you learn to isolate sectors?
    #20934432 - 12/05/14 06:54 PM (9 years, 5 months ago)

I dont have much experience yet in isolation, just the agar basics... pouring, cleaning, and cloning.

Now that I have my flow hood built, and many different clean plates laying around its time to start filling up those Pitres and fruiting out strains.

I understand the core concepts, at least I think I do, but I do.

But I dont think I have the best eye for storing yet.

So Im looking for tips, like how big do you usually grow your plate out before you start cutting?

  Share your secrets!!

Thx

That's a good read. Those transfers are gorgeous. Makes me want to try pour agar and make pretty plates like that. Don't think I wanna fuck with that until I can build a flowhood though.

Nice flow hood.. Congratulation, your on your way to success.

I'm not an authority on isolates so I'm going to keep an eye on this thread and see what I can learn...

Nah dude go with the SAB and start learning!

I've seen RR s video and its really good, but I gotta say its pretty intimidating looking at a dish and trying to decipher sectoring at first. At least for me haha

I have a SAB and use it a lot. I've done no pour agar and all that. My SAB is small but it works. A flowhood would be so nice though.

Oh dude it fuckin rules haha. Actually since Ive built it every single plate has been clean, I haven't needed more than one transfer after germination..

I guess my SAB technique is pretty sloppy haha

RR's video and Stro's cleaning & isolating should be all you need.

Personally I never got too bonered up about isolates & monocultures...

Most of the time I got better results from clone cultures than isolates that I spent months working out the sectors... You just never know what you're going to isolate. Now I like to just start with good spores, make a couple transfers and let it rip. Take a clone, transfer a couple, then run it... Collect spores, and do it all over again  :whip:

Yah I don't isolate on purpose. I prefer to clone. All my isolates came inadvertently from making transfers to expand my plates or clean up dirty cultures.
It is quite easy to pour plates in a SAB. I do it all the time. The key is to make your SAB tall enough.

I personally like to do a MS grow on a dozen of cakes. I take clones from mushrooms that have the traits I want and isolate sectors from my clones. Once I isolate I test on cakes or small trays microwavable Ramon noodle trays to be exact. I grow my fruiting plates out to about the size of a quarter before I fruit because when I tried fruiting my pieces to small the agar dried out to fast before it had a chance to take hold on the seed.  Just experiment have fun and be curious on a handful of methods.

This is how I have the isolates I already have, right before I knock up my master I expand to a new plate to keep it going or if I have to transfer enough times it ends up pretty limited and sometimes it happens ha

Ive read alot of clone vs isolate threads and it seems to come down to preference.

I think Im just gunna start cutting and and see what I can come up with haha. I figure Ill get it if I play around long enoughAww

The "let's grow some dicks" journal in my sig has some neat agar work in it. I started out with 2 plates using tissue samples from the same mushroom. One plate came out clean, but the other one had mold on it so I transferred 2 pretty sectors to new plates. I just want to have plenty of proven fruiting myc on agar. I may isolate one of the plates further for fun, but I really just want to get some of this agar into grains and LC at this point. I think it's time for me to move up to bigger tubs.
