weird, i've got some cubensis Redboy culture that will go tomentose on just about anything with nutrition but can't get it to go rhizo to save my life...however, it's also put out one of my most potent clones....i don't think tomentose growth is indicative of anything other than colonization speed as long as it's not wispy or weak looking :shrug:




I think it's only referring to if it happens with old cultures on the same media.

Senescence IME gets wispier, not necessarily more tomentose.. Tomentose is still aggressive and thick, it just doesn't need to stretch as much looking for nutrients, so it gets all thick and bunched up.




I always thought tomentose simply meant cottony, regardless of being strong or weak.

What about when it goes from cottony to rhizo? Cause most of my plates when I drop spores is tomentose




I think all spores start like like, never seen any different.

Even when you don't dilute spores and start with a big black dot  your first plate you can still get isolates in less than 5 transfers.





I'd like to see you try and pull this off and document it. Have you ever even isolated a culture? From this sentence I get the idea that you never really tried it. Even with transfers not even a mm wide, it would still take a lot of transfers to get isolates with a normal spore inoculation (without dilution).



That transfer is what my regular isolation transfer looks like. It's about 1mm wide(if that) and as long as the agar's depth. It's basically impossible for me to take transfers smaller than this. It's actually annoying sometime to pick the transfer up and deposit it on the new plate due to being so small. Still, I've been isolating this variety for no less than 3 months.

And for the sake of not confusing anyone, just because a culture goes from rhizo to cottony, it doesn't mean it's senescening. It takes an awful lot of cell divisions and expansion for a culture to senescene. No one really knows how much agar transfers it takes for a culture to grow old but it's safe to say that no one here will ever experience that through agar transfers alone.

@Mad season: So you only inoculate a grain jar with cultures that grow at the same rate? I get that the one you labelled as "disorganized" is not a good candidate for inoculation, especially the one at the bottom but I constantly get sectors that look clean and organized but grow at different speeds. Never thought of that as a problem as long as the strands look organized and flat.

Most of us, the vast majority, will never even experience senescence in any culture

:whathesaid:

Most hobbyists will never even experience it, the ones who do normally do so from excess G2G's.

hey bodhi, how much transfers would you say it takes to get a culture to grow old? Close to a thousand maybe? Or not even?

Yes. Excess G2Gs/expanded mycelium is usually the cause of it. Mycelium growing on a 2d surface(agar) is senescening at a much slower rate than mycelium growing in a 3d manner like it would in grain jars and bulk subs. This is entirely the reason why they say not to G2G a grain jar for more than 3-5 times.

So what if you did ten jars to 100 jars and so on the third to fifth time it will be pretty useless ? Even if you got 1000 jars ?

No, you can do g2g safely for a few times but they don't ever recommend going over 5 times. Some won't recommend going over 3. The mycelium will still be young enough to colonize the bulk and give a normal healthy flush though. It takes more G2Gs to get senescene, 3-5 times is being safe rather than sorry.

If I had a dollar for every time a noob said he'd prove something wrong and even went as far as updating his thread I'd still be a poor son of a bitch!

Out of curiosity, what parts of TMC do you feel are worth taking with a grain of salt?
I own the the newest revised edition as well as GGMM. Besides coir and small scale fruiting chambers, what is it missing or has wrong?

oh man... where to begin? everything on lights/darkness, probably most if not all the charts, temps, overlay, basically just remember mush cult is a rather new thing and a lot of what was written in stone has now been disproved.
doubt everything, try everything, and if you got a theory try to disprove it rather than prove it, science style :lol:

Trust me I'm going to buy it but I have grown maybe not as successful as some of you guys on here I've never done that many g2g because I have 6 types of cubes and three clones on agar with like 75 pasty plates I don't know what you're referring to? Space
