Whats in your LC? * 1
    #23642283 - 09/13/16 05:08 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hows it going guys? I wanted to have a friendly convo about LC's and whats in yours? I have 2 LC's at the moment myself, the one in the 600ml jar is cubensis Burma and in the 300ml jar I have cubensis Nepal Chitwans. My LC is made from R O water and Karo light syrup. My Chitwan LC has been going for only 3 days and is looking good, my Burma LC has been going for just over a week now and is filling with growth.

I use one tbsp of karo per 300ml of R O water, I then steam sterilize for 2-3 hrs and it works fine for me. My LC stays clear and the mycelium culture grows great and fast. I only ever use R O water for boiling, steaming, prep and cleaning. I do not and will not use tap water.

I was wondering whats in your LC? Both solution and mycelium culture?

there's no essential nutrients and minerals, you would be better off using tap water. sugar LC is the worst. leftover grain soak water or malt extract work much better for LC than just Karo. YPD broth also works it's just YPD agar without the agar.

Lmao, Inocuole I have no beef with tap water, just choose not to use it do to the Chloride and Chlorine that they put in it around here. I have done fish tanks both fresh and salt for the past 16yrs of my life so R O water is just something i use cause i know its clear of the impurities i dont want to deal with. Sorry to make you think any other way.

Bodhisatta Thank you for that reply, this is why I started this thread. I am open to learning and I dont claim to know everything not even close lol. I like to hear other ideas and opinions.
I will save my water from my rye seeds from now on and use that. Thank you again for that idea

You need FAN free amino nitrogen. Plain sugar water LC has bad performance because of this and other  nutrient deficiency

Bodhisatta, Thank you for that bit of information its actually the exact info Ive been looking for! I'm going to get some tomorrow. I dont want my LC's going bad.

If I make up some new jars and I take a syringe of my current culture and add it to my new solution jar will the little bit of sugars that are going to be with it hurt the new solution, or will it not matter because the culture will eat it up anyway? I believe it would be ok seeing it would be just food, but id like to know what you think.

yes some pics would be awesome please share....And thank you tump for your reply, ill look into those ingredients and look forward to seeing some pics of your LC's, if you would be so kind.

I'm after the ultimate solution for the longest life possible. I'm open to all ideas, but I will be buying malt thats a (FAN free amino nitrogen) today as Bodhisatta mentioned. Hes got a strong point. It makes sense that they would want an amino nitrogen, seeing cubensis love nitrogen in general. Hints one the reasons they love h-poo and c-poo.

All fungi need more than sugar and water anyway.

I agree,

one must treat there fungi with respect for the fungi to respect them back and grow in the way they want them to. Proper care and proper food is the best sign of respect you could give.

Disagree. Straight and sugar will work.
Top picture is  corn starch after 3 months. Bottom is koro plus oats water after 5 days. The only reason i dont use straight karo is to see when all food is eaten.

can i just take the water my rye has been soaking in to rehydrate it and sterilize it in jars with the appropriate lids to be used as LC? does anything else need to be added?

very nice sir! Thank you for your pics. My karo culture is going strong at the moment itself, but Im totally with you in being able to see when the food is gone. Im trying to keep my culture alive for long time not starve it.

imo, I don't think Bodhisatta is disagreeing with sugar water in general cause we def know it works, do to so many using that method, but hes right when it comes to keeping it healthy.

Look at it as a cannabis plant (using cannabis cause its a good example, or fish tank plants would work too i suppose), but when growing a plant anyone can put a light bulb over it and water it and watch it grow, this is called "existing" the plant will not yield your desired look or status. When you give the proper amount of food, ph, and light then your plant does whats called "thriving" you will in this case achieve your desired look and or yield.

tump, im deff not saying that your not keeping your jars healthy or feeding them proper cause they look great and i will personally start adding something to help me see when the food is gone, thats a great idea and greatly appreciate that thought, you and Bodhisatta both have saved me many hrs of questioning if my culture was to just crap out, and for that I greatly appreciate you both.

LeeHarvOz I was wondering the same thing, and imo I think that if the rye seed itself is a great substrate and it lives great on the rye alone, id think that just rye water alone would work.

The fungi is elongating off its stored enery after a short period in search of more food.
