Agar question
    #22495488 - 11/08/15 12:31 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hey everyone. I'm ready to move up to bulk and whatnot and I feel if I am going to invest in a PC I should go all out and start working with agar as well to maximize my potential. I like the simplicity of the PF tek, and I've had 100% contam free grows so far, but I never planned to do the pf tek route for long and I'm really not beat for the small yeilds anymore, I would much rather prefer to do a few grows a year, and just stash my bulk supply to have for whenever I need them. so I started reading.  :goodmorning:

  Only thing I'm having a little trouble with is the agar. I totally understand the concept and how the isolating and all that works. But when I first heard about agar, I did not research it much as it was quickly apparent to me that agar was to be saved for later, as i would need to get a PC first. But as I did my little pf tek grows I always saw people saying "MS is a crapshoot" , "you never know what your gonna get with ms innoc" or something like "you usually dont get a pinset like that until you start working with agar."

Naturally I was under the impression from hearing these things that agar would definitely boost my yeilds. But so far it seems the only solid benefits from agar i can find are;


agar helps to avoid wasting time & money if you have a contaminated syringe.

can speed up colonization speed of the mycelium by isolating the strain the grows the fastest/healthiest.

You can manipulate your spores in a much more efficient manner.

I don't see much about improvement of your yields though, does agar increase your yield or not? Does it cause growth somewhat uniform across the whole substrate in relation to size/potency of each mushroom, or is that only a result of cloning a specific mushroom, not isolating strains?

Thanks guys!

just using agar wont increase your yields, you are trying to isolate a fruiting strain, doing a couple transfers from the inital spore swipe wont do much, cleaner culture but you dont usually sectors until a few transfers, just clone the earliest best looking pins, make cultures, test them and save the good ones on slants :smile: if you havent already watched the lets grow mushroom series, then please do, really helped me when starting agar, infact i havent needed to ask a single question and i have a few grows and cultures under my belt =]
