Is it okay to mix different strains together?
    #23789271 - 10/31/16 05:14 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hello. I have 6 1 pound spawn bags, all fully colonized. 4 of the bags are B+. The other 2 are PES Amazonian. I had to use up the remainder of the spore syringes that I had left anyway, so I inoculated the spawn bags that I had left for the hell of it. I want to start a monotub with my 6 pounds of spawn, but I'm not sure if it's okay to mix strains. Would it be okay if I did this? Should I divide up the bin with a plastic divider to avoid the two strains interacting? I don't really mind if I have to do something unconventional to make this work, I just want to make sure that I don't waste my colonized grain :smile:

the spores don't know they have different names. you could mix them any way you want and it would cause absolutely no problem.

They're varieties not strains. strains come from two spores mating and making some mycelium. you have 100s of strains anyway if you started with spores

I don't like to mix strains but it is possible. I would divide it. I think bodhisata had a grow like this if I am not wrong. If I make spore prints I want to be sure to print the right strain.

That's very well put, bodhisatta. I'm used to cannabis nomenclature and such, that's where I made the mistake. I'm a damn near expert at growing a 30 pound Christmas tree, but mycology is so fascinating that I have to have two growing hobbies now. If you say that no harm will come of me mixing these two varieties, I'm going for it. I appreciate all the advice. I'll get to work on this little project right now. Thank you :smile:

Every time I've done it I feel like it didn't do quite as well as it would have otherwise.

Yeah, you're right. My results were sub-par for sure. I don't recommend doing it if you have a choice.
