Close to monoculture? TC's only

Here's one of my petri's from my latest round of cultures. Started these from scratch from a B+ print, they are on their 10th transfer. Trying to isolate to monocultures, are these close to defined sectoring or have I passed that point?

Jesus Christ 10 transfers? I've never gotten that far so I'm not sure… is it really supposed to take that many? The teks I've read have said that it can take like… 3 transfers

3 is just if ur trying to get a clean culture to put to grain then hopefully get a clone. I'm shooting for a mono I've read it takes at least 8-10 transfers to get defined sectoring then you sector out til u get isolates

Im not a tc but can tell you that you have alot of strains in those an isolate is uniform growth im sure you know that but see all the "fingers" it will be nowhere near that on an isolate ... basically if you took all the rizho away to the center there and that was all therr was that would be close to an isolate if you know what im sayin

You are getting close to sectors. Should see some good ones soon. Couple more.

So once each culture starts sectoring like the pic below I will have around 10-20 different sectors that I start isolating?

If so I need to start ordering a ton of petri's

My god I know its gunna be lot of work but i think it'll be worth it to isolate at least one strain start to finish to become a buddha master of culturing haha. I'll try to get some clones going in the mean time.

You alright there mofo? Op those are looking good man... Try taking smaller transfers though, that seems like an awful lot of sectoring for 10 transfers deep.

To be honest isolation is a pain in the ass. Maybe you already have some good clones and done a bunch of ms grows so an isolation project isn't holding you back. But waiting on isolates to test before fruiting is also a waste IMO. That's probably why people say to just get it to grain.

yeah, nothing wrong with taking 1 transfer to a new plate to isolate further and use the rest of the plate on some grains. dont sit around for an isolate with nothing else on your plate (pun not intented). not saying you are just saying if you are, then dont

I haven't had much luck with clones yet gotta keep trying. Is it easier to just isolate from a clone? I saw this post and it seems like he was able to get mono's with just a few transfers. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18219379/fpart/all/vc/1

Those were an ms clone fruit clones are a bit more reliable them ms and with a clone you dont have as many strains still alot but no where near ms if you dilute the spores its easier for an isolate

That's what I was thinking it narrows down way more then just from spores. So I'm just going to keep on isolating but I'll take Spacechildo's advice and just start putting the rest of the plates to grain to work on some clones in the mean time. When it comes to this hobby I think the more you can put into the pipeline to test the better haha

I spent a few months isolating a MS culture while fruiting MS tubs and clones. I finally just put my monoculture to the test and......slow colonization and small fruits regardless of conditions.
Here's a pic:

If this were my only project, and I waited months and months to fruit this- I might have quit the hobby! Lol
If you're isolating as a side-project, good on you. If it's your only project-be prepared for a slow colonizing, small fruit tub. If you are extremely lucky you'll get an awesome culture. If your luck jar has run out-be prepared for a block of mycelium that won't even fruit....

That's why a lot of people recommended to NOT make an isolate as your main project. And inoculate some grain with your plates. Sometimes people wait for an answer they want to hear. Isolates are crap shoots. You would have known that if you used the search function. I made about 30 isolates in my life and only 2 performed good enough to say it was worth the time and work.

tombosley8 said: I wouldn't worry about obtaining a monoculture .
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 monocultures could be amazing but for someone just getting the feel of things it is way over the top IMO.
sorry I know this has already been said in a lot of ways but thought I'd add this as another way of saying the same thing...
