Consensus on how many CC's of MS solution per quart jar of WBS?
    #23836726 - 11/15/16 07:57 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Preferably looking for answers from trusted cultivators.

Reason I ask I was reading some guides before suggesting 1-2cc's of MS solution per quart jar and I had a fair number of jars with contamination. This time around I followed Franks 12 steps tek to the letter other than adding a little gypsum while soaking. so I only used 8 drops per jar.

It's been days since I inoculated and so far no signs of colonization??

B+ variety Cubes btw if that matters.

Zero.
Use agar instead

This was not helpful, I have syringes to use up first and a lot more study before starting with agar. I also do not own a laminar flow hood and am lacking funds to purchase one currently.

Im no tc but agar is the correct way to do things. And to answer your real question 1/10 ml of spore syringe is enough per quart. Ive divided it out and done so before.

When ive done ms on grains I use 1/4 cc per quart.

You had high contam rate cause spores to grain is risky. Not cc overdose.

You dont need a flow hood for agar. Just a SAB which u should be using anyway

Ok. Well, keep 6th grading it and in a few months you'll look back and think about how helpful it could have been.
You can do agar work in a still air box. If you can make jello, you can do agar work.

I'm gonna say..... one drop of spore solution to agar (or you can streak)

I did syringe to grain for a few years and while I grew shrooms, I also had unpredictable results and grew other things with it, mainly bacteria.  btw, You can pour agar and do all your work in an upside-down tote, commonly referred to as a sab.  I do this easily all the time now.

With that said, if all I had was grain jars and syringes I would go for 1-2 cc per jar.  Be sure to shake the hell out of that syringe first, and flame the needle in between jars.  Try to shoot the spores on the glass so you can see the growth when it appears and not freak out because all the myc is growing in the middle of the jar and you can't see it.

A SAB is all you need.

if your doing whole grain (not pf tek) then you will have trouble with many contams that are present in your syringe.

The prints that those syringes were made from were made in non sterile environments making them have all kinds of nasties.

BRF cakes are very resilient to those contams and since they are left in solid form and not broken up as spawn they will fruit pretty well when directly inoculated with a ms syringe. Not so With grain because it harbors bacteria better and will be broken up when spawned giving the contams a step up on your myc.

Agar is very easy in a SAB and will make much less work and failure for you in the end.

Check out the Pastyplate tek in the link in my sig for a good start on agar.

:whathesaid: agar is the best. However if you must use spores I would only use a drop or two. Less is more.

Ok thanks for the helpful advice, however in order to agar I need to have fruits to clone from in the first place do I not? I do not have any harvests that I can clone to the agar?

I always use a glove box, and flame sterilize between inoculation's.

So if starting from scratch would I then need access to LC or do I put MS solution onto a petri dish with agar and then keep transferring the mycelium until I have a rhizomorphic sector and then transfer to a grain jar?

Put a drop of ms solution on the plate and let it germinate.

Ok, In your experience how many myc transfers do you usually do to get a clean mono culture sector ready for grain transfer?

Obviously being a noob I'm also not fully familiar what to look for when it comes to contaminates on agar in the jars it's pretty simple if it's bright white ropey/ fluffy with no signs of a milky white/greyish look or obviously anything green/blue/orange/red etc than you're golden.

I'm pretty sure half of my last batch all had cobweb mold that had taken over about 40% of the contaminated jars.

You don't need an isolate. You just need a clean culture. You can get a verified clean culture in one transfer sometimes.

since you plan on doing ms to grain I wouldn't worry about obtaining a monoculture.  You need agar for that

I wouldn't worry about obtaining a monoculture even though I do use agar.

Your better off fruiting a ms culture with slightly narrowed genetics after a transfer or two or three to clean it up and then taking some clones from those grows to agar for isolating certain traits but even then you won't have a mono culture most of the time.
just very narrowed genetics.

This will give you consistent results.

First fruiting from Ms(on agar) is a much easier way of obtaining better cultures than trying to obtain monocultures from MS because it gives you a good idea of what you are isolating and gives you a lot of variety to choose from.


I am sure there are situations where monoculture could be amazing but for someone just getting the feel of things it is way over the top IMO.

Ok thanks. Just to confirm if I go the agar route do I just put a drop of ms solution onto the agar or do I actually inject the agar?

And then once I see obvious mycelium growth with no other signs of contaminates in the sector of the petri dish do I let the whole sector grow out before transferring to a grain jar?

Ok thanks for making me come to the realization it's time to move onto the next step in mycology.

To confirm I did get 7 successful jars with ms before but had 5 jars go bad with what looked like cob web mold. Also lost my last batch of Pf tek Amazonian ms syringe to it as well.

So by using just a drop of ms solution per sector of a petri dish of agar I stand a much better chance of remaining contaminate free gotcha.

Agar should technically be the same difficulty as the pf tek. Just 3 ingredients, mixed together at a ratio, just like the pf tek. Malt extract agar is my preferred choice, and that's 2g malt extract, 2g agar, and 100 ml of water.

ditch the glove box and/or remove the gloves from the glove box and you have a SAB.
Spitball Jedi's SAB TEK

You should read this too!
Spiball Jedi's The Basics

Glove boxes make a ton of turbulence because of the piston effect. With six inch holes and no gloves attached there is very little turbulence when moving your hands in and out of the sab. Also you shouldn't be flame sterilizing inside the box as that creates currents from the heat blowing contams into your work.
