Got it .... Doubt I'd ever need to go more than 3 gen's anyway. At some point you find a great culture then just LC it. I kinda like the crapshoot of multi spore grows every once in awhile anyway. Also, seems like they get more and more tuned to the system you're growing in .... the spores themselves adapt and seem to tune to the growing style.
Interesting facet of this is if a fruit grows out of a jar that has mild bacterial infection, the clone water is most likely going to be free of it ....

Never underestimate the ability of contams to ride along. They might stay latent for a long time. That's why people stress agar over these seemingly easier methods of expansion. At least with a slanted master as backup, I can go back to clean and young culture if my working culture degrades or contams.

No doubt ... especially if you're an industrial level grower taking one jar of spawn to multiple bulk grows ... A lot of us don't need or even want that kind of grow operation. 5-10 jars at different stages keeps me happy.
Agar is an incredible commitment when you're testing out a few different isolates at a time ... Can easily get dozens of plates going. I think what I'm going to do is use this process to identify the really aggressive pinners then use agar as the final step if I want to really clean it and save it. In some ways, it's more interesting for me to just keep farming it with MS + Clone water

I must be clear, my advice is usually generalized to accommodate most size of grows. Fact is that while a simple hobbiest with a tiny grow might not care if they lose a project, my advice to them will always take the route that is most likely to produce a safe outcome, regardless of size or distance expanded.

Your advice is consistently solid, easy to follow and backed up with unimpeachable experience. You've forgotten far more than I know. To me, there's something really cool about the sheer unpredictability of just farming it ... MS, clones and see WTF happens. It takes absolutely no effort at all to produce plenty of fruits for me and friends. Hell I could do that just with MS and 3-4 jars. What I really like about this clone water thing is the speed I anticipate from clone water to pins.... I've got a theory that could be totally complete bullshit but that the more generations you multispore from the exact same system, the better the results get because the fruits "learn" and adapt to the conditions and produce spores that can thrive in the repeating environment. After having cycled maybe 10 generations now of the invitro jars, (cross between v-tek and Muda's bottles) even my MS grows are very acceptable. Whereas other MS strains I tried are pitiful in this system at best. Probably why invitro is hard for many ... you really gotta find the right strain/isolate ... without that, I think there's just not enough FAE for a lot of strains that thrive with regular fruiting chambers.

I never got the need for maximum speed. Most of the time I end up expanding more than I can use, masters sit forgotten and the fridge is full of plates that dry out before I get to them. If you start rolling with agar and do 3 - 4 p values of grain expansion you soon start trying to slow it all down.

So, P, when you get a bunch of isolates on Agar going, you still have to grow each one of them out to see if they're going to produce, right? I've found, at least 75% of the time, a pin from a nice juicy cluster produces good ... maybe not optimal from an industrial production "every ounce counts" perspective, but from a "this jar is bursting with fruits" perspective, it's a pretty high odds bet. I'm guessing it will be the same with clone water if it comes from the same fruit that was the cluster pin, but just a few days later. Pins are always going to have some contamination on em, no way around that. But clone water has the potential to be very clean especially if the fruits came from a very clean invitro situation. There's just not a lot of mold or bacteria in those jars because they're not exposed to much open air the way bulk grows are.
BTW, appreciate the conversation ...

I don't isolate much, more of a clone guy myself. But when I find a clone that puts out 175-200% BE first flush on bulk at a 1:2 spawn ratio, with good potency, I want to keep it around.

Hey man! Did you change your profile pic? Did you have a pic with some animal in a mink fur or something? Man i loved that picture, somehow it reminded me of Jennifer Lopez i have no idea why.. Please put it back one day! (:

Yes, here it is...
Clone Water Test #1 - Medium sized, tallish fruit 2-3 days from full sized Day 1: Extracted 1.5ml clone water from inside fruit with syringe - injected to small jar of RGS Day 5: Quarter sized clean looking growth on small amount of RGS Day 5: Shook the jar to accelerate colonization Day 6: After shake, colonizing quickly ... no signs of contamination Day 8: Fully Colonized, no contamination, did G2G transfer to 2 quart jars Day 14: 2 Quart Jars fully colonized, no visible contamination ... Both jars ready for casing Day 18: Cased Jars (Verm) looking ready to pin soon
Also, on day 10 when I opened the jars, I put a pinch of mycelium on Agar and it has grown out clean ... made some LI from it.
Clone Water Test #2 - Early Stage - Stubby Fat Fruit Day 1: Extracted <1ml clone water from inside fat, stubby fruit with syringe - injected to small jar of RGS Day 3: First signs of white specks appearing on RGS Day 8: Fully Colonized ... Looking Good ... No visible contamination Day 9: Transferred G2G to two jars
So far, with both clone water experiments, no contamination both are growing in clean.
4 Days ago, did another clone water spritz onto small grain jar and a good speck of white is developing. Seems very easy to get clean clone water this way
Keys are to pick a fruit with a stubby, meaty base that's about half grown ... don't squirt more than 2-3ml's into the base... carefully suck the water back in to the syringe, take your time ... then quickly squirt clone water onto sterilized grain. 15 second procedure to get a cloned jar working ... no agar needed. Looks like it's 3 for 3 in terms of no contams... still waiting to see how it fruits out, though.

I'll post pics after it pins. What good are pics of colonized jars? What does that prove?

You posted an update for every day, how hard is it to snap a pic once a day? Not being a dick just being realistic. Too many people offer these "groundbreaking teks" but never offer any proof or documentation of the process. Just sayin.

It didn't really occur to me that colonizing grain was all that interesting... Or proves anything, to be honest. When it fruits, that's another story.
Not sure I'm presenting a "ground breaking tek," just doing an experiment that allows me to go directly to grain with cloning tissue with a low risk of contamination for small grows. My theory is I can go from a mid-sized fruit > clone water to grain > colonized grain jar > Fruiting in about 3 weeks. That's what I'm testing out. We'll see.
This isn't an experiment to generate pounds and pounds of spawn for a bulk grow or anything like that. It's just to see if you can, while harvesting some nice fruits, quickly start some new jars with a 15 second procedure that doesn't even require an SAB setup. No LC needed ... no agar needed ... no slurry ... just a grain jar, a syringe and a nice meaty fruit ... self perpetuating system. More importantly, I can quickly test out a lot of clones without any of the time consuming cleaning pins on agar step. I could have 10 different clone jars near fruiting by the time I've gotten one dirty pin cleaned up and ready to inoculate a jar.
