Looking to start my first attempt at growth - Questions
    #23187538 - 05/04/16 05:23 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys i picked two meanies on the weekend, out of season. And i'm thinking i might start a grow or attempt to. From all the guides i've looked at people are using pregained spores etc.

How would I recreate this process without using sterilized prints etc. I basically only have 2 dried blue meanies.

First you'll need impeccable sterile technique to be able to pull clean spores off a wild mushroom...  The only possible way to salvage that is to start with agar and attempt a clone from inner tissue or have some really great luck with spores swabs.

This is one way to do it and if you do it right you may succeed.

-Get yourself a sterile swab and swipe it across the gills under the cap.
-Dab the swab on the surface of the agar plate.
-Research "sandwich agar tek" and do it.

Bacteria can't grow through agar but mycelium can, so if you perform correctly the agar sandwich tek you should see mycelium that's going to be clean of bacteria.

Once you transfer a wedge, keep making transfers to new agar plates until you're sure you have a clean culture.

Also to double check steps im going to need to take.

Step 1. Agar Creation

Step 2. Drop in spores

Step 3. Agar > BRF Cakes? (or do i need to agar > agar again?)

Step 4. BRF cakes > FC

Step 5. ???

Step 6. Success

I'll be frank with you man, you want to attempt a moderately advanced technique for which you're not prepared at all.

It'd be a lot wiser to buy a spore print from a reputable vendor and be done with it.

This would be your best option if you want to work with agar.

:cheers:

If it's an actual blue meanie it's not going to thank you for trying to grow it on BRF cakes either..

Spore prints come in a letter it's impossible for customs to scrutinize every incoming letter they'd come to halt. Trust me it's very doable.

Very true . Just I know Aus and Canada customs are pretty good at their jobs. Ive had a few seizure letters myself back in the old days for little packages i was sure would make it threw.

I've read some horror stories about Australian customs and when i got a sprouting field nearby i would rather just put in the hard work to get it done.

I am not going to give up if my first try doesn't work. I am very much so dedicated to this adventure.

And yes they are blue meanies... what do you recommend then for blue meanies? Grain?

Sorry about the million questions guys xD.

I am looking through as much information as i can find, but there is so many methods, and so many steps that people do differently. So while one guide gives you flawless information, it has a flaw for example BRF cakes. I can't find any other suggestions specifically for blue meanies.
