Bulk Substrate Kits
    #21702505 - 05/20/15 02:06 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys,
Anyone have experience buying pasteurized substrate and grains? Interested in hearing if anyone has ever gotten one of those bulk substrate kits where everything is already sterile.

I would think that for the inexperienced this would be a good way to just get a kit and a syringe and be done. Feel like it would reduce chances of contam.

Not really. Pasturizing and sterilizing are the easy parts.

Very rarely is a spore syringe truly clean. BRF is a little more forgiving than grains in that respect. If your innoculant (in this case syringe) isnt clean than it wont matter how clean your grains are.

If the kit came with clean spawn, and all you had to do was mix it with substrate, then that would be another story.

That's interesting. Never heard that syringes weren't that clean before. That being said though, how risky is it really? If you get a syringe from a reliable vendor it should be alright no?

Spores come from prints and prints came from opened caps. You can make the print as sterile as you can but the caps were open in open air and were exposed to lots of mold spores. Vendor syringes are generally pretty clean. I have noticed contaminants in them here and there on agar petri dishes though, which is when you isolate the clean stuff and start with a clean inoculation. It's impossible to make a clean syringe because they had to have been fruiting in open air. Hope this helps.
