My start with Agar & Grain.. Thanks shroomery.org !!
    #22494891 - 11/08/15 09:37 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

Before coming to this forum I would have never given a single thought of attempting to produce my own spawn (because of the huge expenses involved in it). But thanks "Shroomery.org and the members" with your support I not only made my own mini spawn lab with very little funds (With less than Rs. 25000/-, by purchasing a 40L PC instead of Autoclave and cutting out cost on expensive LAF cabinet which is around Rs. 40000/- here I prepared a SAB for less than Rs. 1000/- ) with 100 percent success so far (because of the sterile teks I learned from the members of this forum).
Here are a few images I took yesterday ..

My less than Rs. 1000/- SAB.


My Rs. 15500/- 40L PC.


My Clean room 4'(L & B) X 5'(H) made with PVC pipes and GI 'Three way elbow' and 9' X 18' Polyhouse plastic folded and stuck together by transparent duct tape. Cost Rs. 1300/-


Agar, Dextrose and other chemicals costed me around Rs. 3000/-


I already had a Kerosene stove with me which was in no use for past 20 years. It served well with some cleaning and maintenance I  did myself. Electricity
is a problem sometime here and I appreciate my decision whenever I notice  electricity failure while running my antique stove..   


Its getting colder and colder day by day and I use this corrugated cardboard box that came with my PC for incubation purpose. I have covered it with glasswool blanket. I put a 3W Buld in a small corrugated box (so that it do not produce light but produce a bit of heat) and attach it to the lid of the box from the inner side. (For GE there is a 4" hole with loosely filled polyfill). So far so good..


Clean Room from inside..


Few fresh tissue culture in bottles slants with polyfill plugs..
Pleurotus Florida


Few almost fully run TT slants for storage..
King oyster, Black Poplar Mushroom and Pleurotus Sajor-Caju


Few Grain Spawn Bottles kept for mycelium run ..


My substitute for TT Stand...
I had this 'diamond' shaped mesh with me, so I use it as a TT stand instead of those expensive ones in the market. It would have been even better if I had 'square' shaped mesh. It still works fine..



Will be soon attempting and posting images of G2G (Bottle to bag)...
Thanks..

But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go
If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
That it's one thing to try and another to fly
You get there quicker just a step at a time
It's one thing to bark, another to bite
The show ain't over till you pack up at night

thanks bro, bottle slants are very common here in some parts of Asia, as they are much durable, reusable and have a lot of surface area and yes there are less chances of getting agar contaminated because of less exposed area.
