Inoculating tomorrow/10 day update
#23846710 - 11/18/16 09:08 PM (7 years, 2 months ago) |

Got 10 PF tek jars in the PC, will impregnate tomorrow morning. I have 2 syringes, 1 A+ and 1 PES Hawaiian. I am leaning toward using the A+ on these 10 jars and then try doing a rye grain substrate for the PES Hawaiian since I've never tried that and would like to move on to that.
Wish me luck.

use only like 5-8CC on the cakes and then you'll have enough of both of them left over

i guess I could use half of each syringe. I just wasn't sure about doing 2 strains at once but i think that's a great idea. I want to start agar anyhow so might as well.

you're doing hundreds of strains at once. they're just varieties(A+ and the names on syringes) you could mix them together in the same cake if you wanted. strains are what you get when the spores mate. most of them will be average some bunk and some great.

Well got it done! I took all my gear to the bathroom after been spraying it for days then stripped down took a shower and got to work. Ended up doing 5 jars for each syringe leaving 3-4 cc per syringe for making some agar for the first time. I feel that this will be a success, don't see how any contams are going to get me down!

Bathrooms are the second worst room to use next to the kitchen. Regardless you'll be fine but just so you know. You want to use a still air box

Yeah I know I need to build one. I've done several inoculations in pf jars in the kitchen and the bathroom and haven't had a contaminated jar yet. But I haven't tried anything beyond that yet so I know when I start doing other stuff I'll need a box.

Using red hot needles you can inoculate open air and it's relatively fine. But for anything past needle fucking jars you'll need a way to achieve sterile technique

Go for it! You're gonna love it. I've just started myself and it makes this hobby much more fun!

agar is great.
i think in my lifetimes i've spent 150-200 on spores.. since doing agar ive used 1 drop to make 1 plate.. that made 5.. that made 10 master jars that each made 10 spawn jars.. and so on and so on.
i wonder how much spawn i could of made with $200 worth of supplies.

I am glad that I took the advice of using agar shortly after getting into this hobby.... I actually would like to thank everyone for recommending agar work.... Saved me a lot of time and dissapointments...

I've been working with it a couple of weeks now and it's really kindda addictive.. I know I'm never going back to inoculating with syringes anymore.

That I'd probably try some time or something like that. I really just meant spore syringes.
I see why people likes the liquid teks.

Well a ten day update,!,!,
Did 10 jars all got around a 1-1.25 cc from ms syringes. The 5 A+ started showing growth a few days ago, nothing big but it is there and slowly growing. The PESH started showing growth much sooner and has exploded to 80%-90%
I also did a honey LC with 1cc of the PESH because I got bored on Black Friday while the wife and kid where out and it is showing some small suspended bits of mycelium. Ordered some agar powder today and will make up some no pour and use the LC for breaking my agar cherry while the cakes are fruiting. Once I get that down and start harvesting I will take some clones and such to agar. By then I should be ready to start doing big monotubs of WBS and coir/verm, which I already have everything for.
Bring on the New Year!
