If this clone proves worthy it will be slanted. Its already a clone so I won't bother cloning again, I will simply expand the working culture i already have.

I forget who asked--I'm too high, too tired, and have too much to do to go back on a search for the author--are bigger or smaller easier?
I have no experience to offer over which is easier or harder, but I have a lot of experience with aquariums, fresh and salt. Bigger aquariums are easier to maintain. The fluctuate less. A ten gallon nano is nearly impossible, while a 150 salt water tank with live rock is nearly effortless. My 55 gal fresh is planted and the fish/plants ratio is balanced. I would think the smaller the container, the more difficult.
Now, except for grain casing.

What is your working culture, if you don't mind me asking? LC? What tek did you use for your working culture? Do you keep a plate?
Too many questions?

Both just need to be adjusted to your environment. Minis take less spawn and less overall substrate so they're easier for testing. You want the 66 qts for real bulk though.
You will need less FAE in a mini then a large mono, that's the hardest thing to adjust for. After that it's similar to a 66 qt.

I have a cloned plate. From it I knocked up a grain master and a plate. The master is expanded and grown out. The plate goes in the fridge. If the culture proves good I use the plate to inoculate a slant. Then the rest of the plate gets massively expanded and the slant goes in the fridge. The slant becomes the master and all slants are expanded as little as possible while the remaining plates are expanded till they wear out. Then I go back to the slant.

And that's why he gets the big bucks.
You nailed it. Like a tiny tek inside the thread.

September 2nd. . .
Receiving jars are trucking along. Just gave em a shake. They should be done in 2-3 days methinks. Plan will be to spawn most but will use one of em to inoculate some more pints to expand further. Goes pretty quick once its rolling

These are ready to spawn today. Will probably do some mini monos and the last jar will be expanded to more pints of millet and some V tek containers.

Me too. So far it looks nice and strong, I think my bacteria fears were unfounded.

September 13th. . . Just cased and fruited a 27 quart sterlite mini mono with some bucketed coir. Sub was straw, coir, hpoo, cow compost, worm casings and verm. Clipped a couple strands of straw that were sticking up, methinks it looks healthy. Fingers crossed.

My 20 quart mini mono of just coir and verm is looking close, it was spawned a few days behind the other as some of the grains needed to finish up. Has a couple spots I am a little unsure of, gonna keep and eye on them.

G2G a quart jar to 6 pints. Some are millet and some are barley. Been wanting to do barley again for a while. Its a bit tricky to prep right but the myc really latches onto it. The remaining grains left after the G2G stayed in the quart jar and coir verm was added and shaken. Gonna do a little invitro with it. On the plus side it smelled fantastic, no worries about bacteria anymore.
