Makes sense to me too!
Fsre's supply has tun really dry over the years, anyone know of similar things that are any good? Trying to get some pan cyan prints and they used to be available for free there so I have this weird internal turmoil over paying 25+shipping for a print from a vendor. I am already pretty suspicious of vendor quality so would more like find my own wild than order there. Anyways enough of my negativity, any fsre clones? Any kind souls willing to help restock the fsre? I am currently making some prints to send them having grown them specifically for this purpose. I think we should commit as a community to restocking the fsre. Look at me making such wild suggestions on my maybe 3rd post (please notify me if im breaking rules here) but honestly they used to have everything! Wth happened?!?! R.I.P FSRE?

Depends on what your culture likes really.. only one way to find out.
I can tell you that Mycolorado had alot better success with rye berries over wheat with his current stones grow. However I use oats and love them... go with the cheaper end. That's what most of us do unless we feel otherwise.

You should try millet. Clean as hell and easy prep.

I can't find unhulled millet locally Ken, I would have liked to give them a try.
My new love is oats. Those fuckers can take a lot of beating and myc loves it. And when I say a lot of beating, I mean it... I pc them for 3 hours at 17 psi (quart jars, no bags), they don't lose moisture at all and it's a great grain for lc because absorbs all the extra water rather quickly.
Just love

Oats sound pretty good, I'm going to be working with new medias soon and learning new teks and procedures. I've just learned and grew accustomed to the basics that got me started. I've done pda agar in Petri dishes, pasty plates. I've used rye berries a couple times but wbs is a lot less exspensive and then I go cvg for mono and dub tubs. I want to look into doing LI and make some slants when I get a good isolate. I'm going to be getting some stone producers and a serbica print that I'm not sure I can use, but have been reading here and there on what woodies require. That's pretty much where I'm at.

How do you guys go about breaking new strains out on agar?
I haven't started from spores in months. Last time I did, I found myself with far too many plates. I need a good shelf to organize plates on. Also I thought of this. Sticky notes on every plate for super easy labeling

RGS is the grain of choice for sclerotia. But grass seed is really expensive...

Divided petris and thin pours...Figure out how firm you want it...More firm for a syringe...A little less for a print...I tend to use a more nutritious mix for germinating...Don't know if this is completely by the book, but it worked for everything so far except one batch.

Does anyone have experience with Calcium Nitrate? Would it be much of a benefit added this to coir for better growth of cubes?

+ 350ml of water + these + 10 quarts of grain = fastest colonization I've ever seen. It puts lc to shame.
Those are just pf tek plates, the ones I used were fully colonized though.

Just glad mini-rounds with pf tek sub at the bottom and a sprinkle of fresh coffee grounds. I prep the sub just a lil on the wet side and pack it down.
I start spores on agar, get some growth and then stab the agar with a syringe, then expell the myc cells in the needle by squirting a small jet of water into the pf tek plates, that narrows down the genetics a lot in one single transfer.
Then I use those 1st gen pf tek plates to inoculate more plates in the same manner. The 1st gen plates I keep for cloning when they fruit. The 2nd gen plates to inoculate.
Sterilize a blender bottle with blender ball with 350 ml of distilled water. I sterilize them inside big filtered glass jars, this allows you to leave the blender bottle semi-open, so you won't need to filter them, these bitches warp like hell too without filters.
Then tiger drop 2 pf tek plates into the blender bottle, leave them soaking for 24hrs to soften them up and next day shake em up good.
Then inoculate from 10 to 15 jars.
You can't imagine how pissed I am right now for having shelled out good money on a stirrer for lc

That's not the question bodhisatta... I'm out of coir and I have a supplier offering me either buffered coir with 5% Calcium Nitrate to it in a 5kg compressed bricks, or simply washed coir in compressed 5kg bricks.
I'm asking if anyone has experience adding calcium nitrate to their grows. I'm making the order on Monday, so figured I would rather learn from someone else's experience if there's no need for me to test it on my own.
I've stumbled upon one document claiming that Calcium Ammonium Nitrate has been outperforming other forms of nitrogen fertilizers as an additive when it comes to the total yield of mushrooms, but it seems to need more tests to confirm it's results.
