PE swab
    #21982570 - 07/22/15 11:32 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

What is up everyone?

I've grown shrooms via monotub as recently as two and a half years ago (late 2013).  I was heavy into the scene at that point and moved from BRF to tubs (using trays...) at that point.  I just kept buying new syringes to knock up quart jars with spores. Each jar got its own tray & produced an ounce a tray over its lifetime.

So about a year ago I got a PE swab from someone here, and I just had a few questions before I dive in:

1) does PE always have a terrible first flush?  I really don't want to deal with hassle.

2) is a year old swab only going to be viable .

3) I'm guessing for either of these concerns I will need to bust out the petri dishes and work agar ?

1) if done correctly, cased and what not, it'll have a great first flush. Rivaling any other cube.

2) depends on how it was stored. Air tight, in a dark cool place would be the best way of storing it. Personally I like turning all swabs to syringes, so the spores get some hydration. If you're worried you can even do pressurized hydration http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15383615

3) I think every project should be started on agar for clean inoculant or clone. Agar > liquids > grains > bulk is my favorite route as of late

Just wipe the swab across some agar plates and knock up grain.
