Spawn run
    #21835798 - 06/21/15 08:17 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I've always heard that the spawn run should be between 7-10 days, regardless of the size of the monotub you're spawning to. I recently finished picking an MS tub that I let run for 14 days thinking that the extra days of consolidation would produce a massive first flush...I was wrong. Instead, there were only a dozen or so small pins that grew to mature fruits about 3 inches tall. This has been my smallest grow yet. Do you think it was bad genetics or does extending the spawn run negatively affect the size of the fruits? Any similar experiences?

This is definitely gonna be my last MS grow, I'm gonna move on to some agar work and increase my yields through those methods. :awesome:

Likely just luck of the draw.

Yeah I was thinking that too, MS grows are unreliable. I'm gonna clone the largest fruit and hope for the best. Is it a good idea to clone the same mushroom to an LC jar and then to an agar dish, or would there be cross contamination? I guess I'll have to flame the needle twice just to be sure.

Don't clone straight to an lc. Clone to agar, ensure its clean, then make an lc

Okay cool I'll try that. Have you ever tried using a BRF substitute instead of agar? I've heard it's just as effective. I can't get agar at the moment, but I have plenty of BRF.

You can get agar at the moment, I promise.  If you tell me where you are, I can search for the nearest place to you.  If there isn't one, I will personally order you a packet of it.  It's so much harder to spot contamination on that rice paste--people have used it and do use it with success, but much less success and much less frequently.

molds can be spotted easily but bacteria is almost impossible as the paste doesnt reflect light which makes it hard to see the slightly off-colored water.

btw I'd take up on vdg's offer, he does a mean google search in no time! Hooked me up alright! :lol:

Van der has got to be the nicest mofo on the boards. Tmethyl is a close second but I haven't seen him in ages

Hit up an asian market in your area! They'll definitely have agar agar. The place I get mine has 2 oz packages for like a buck a piece.

The stuff Pasty uses in that tek is okay, but I much prefer the telephone brand.  Just sayin'.

Hell if you're ordering it anyways just get the agar powder. I've never used the store type though.

Cool, i found the telephone brand on amazon, it's a lot cheaper and probably easier to work with. Now I just need the potato flakes and the mini round containers! :grin:
