Coir/Verm to Agar experiment
    #23801993 - 11/04/16 10:05 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Yes, another experimental question for the board.

A lot of us on here swear the coir and verm is very contam resistant. Many board  members have left there coir and verm in buckets without any contaminants settling in.  So, my question is, especially for those who have been around along time, has anyone on here actually taken coir or verm (pasteurized/unpasteurized) and placed it onto an agar plate. 

Half of the members on here will state the contamination only comes from bad spawn.  So, it will be very interesting to see if there is hidden contams in coir and verm  by adding nutes into it, thru agar plates, to see if it triggers any hidden contams in cv.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't do this, as long as you plan on doing at least a couple transfers down the line.  But also really don't see any reason to ever do this unless you forgot to do it with some extra grain spawn you might have. 

Why start out with more contaminants than you have to is my philosophy.  You could just wait for a MS fruit, and clone that several times over too if you are using MS.  If not, just pop a grain kernel on a few agar plates and transfer away from any contams.

I was wondering why i havent seen people put grain directly into a colonised agar tub

then it would be the agar allowing contams to grow, not the coir.
you cant put dirty stuff on agar and expect it to grow clean. but you can leave dirty coir on its own and it wont grow any nasties.

I understand what you saying spacechildo, So, it is the introduction of nutes to coir/ verm the cause  of hidden bacteria spreading, and thats when we see contams pop up?

Trich spores are not germinating on coir
Trich spores are not germinating on clean spawn.
Trich on spawn will happily continue to grow on coir
Coir can have trich spores from the air if you put it on agar it may grow

not quite sure what you're saying there, but the reason coir onto agar grow nasties is because the coir has been in contact with open air and therefore gotten nasty stuff from the air on it.

the reason coir grows contams is because your spawn is not clean, if that's what you're saying, yes.
nasty stuff already germinated on your grains and colonizes coir just like clean myc growth does.
