1.5kg was the only size they had from a home brewery online store so I guess I´m covered for life. I want to also find out if it´s true what people claim about LC strength and leap off time on grain, something about sugar shock or i´m not sure, will read up more on that when the malt arrives on friday.

i confess i was scared as fuck about liquid inoculations and now its all i want to try. Is ELME sold at home brewery stores?
Double confess: i used to go the arcade to play street fighter 3 third strike every day before during and after college. one day i walked in and saw the same regulars that frequented the establishment regularly. I thought " FUCK, these guys are alwayssssss here man dont they have a life?" quickly i put 2 and 2 together and realized i had just called myself an arcade loser. i never thought of them or myself in that way again.

It's all the same shit once you learn to move around in your SAB or whatever. Just find an easy recipe online. I'm pretty sure hamloaf uses 1 tablespoon of LME to a quart of water.

I'm aware is a nasty habit but I feel like every single sentence I write here looks fucking pretty if I include fuck. It all started because for some strange reason I find it funny to say swear words in a foreign language and being here on the Shroomery didn't help either. 
My wife gives me shit because this is how I talk. I am a foul mouth son of a bitch, and I have to clean it up here or people think I am being mean or an ass. Noobs don't like us pointing out their fuckups. I get told well instead of being as ass how about you tell me how to fix it. Well if I literally just made a bulleted list of 5 things your doing wrong, well I just kind of did. I don't know why they feel like we need to hold their hand and tell them everything. If I just listed 5 things wrong you can search on those 5 topics and find the right way. But alas, because I say fucked up, and shit, they think I just want to be mean,

I have a GREAT myco confession that could inspire/help others out.
So my fruiting area is in my basement and with it being winter it has been a STRUGLE to keep it warm, like a struggle to stay above 60f, and barely at that! So the furnace is about 5 feet from my fruiting area. It is a room I started building but due to $$ am waiting for a bit to continue. It is a partially framed up room with tarps and plastic up to help hold heat in. WELL anyways, I notice 2 unused 6 inch outlets(duct outlets) on the far side of my furnace. It just so happens that I had about 20 feet of 6 inch flex duct and a 110CFM inline fan, from my weed days. I have taken the cap OFF of the outlet and hooked the flex duct up to it and am using the fan to boost the air flow. Because I have the fan just plugged in and on all the time there is a steady, constant flow of warm air into the area. When the furnace kicks on it gets even warmer. The area is now between 72-76f, instead of 60-62f.
This was able to be done with NO permanent modifications to the home, I own but this would work great for renters. I had the supplies around but that flex duct is cheap, and can be found at Home Depot. Some furnaces may use 8inch, which home improvement stores sell also. They also sell inline fans that are made for boosting airflow in long duct runs. They are relatively cheap. I am sharing this as it is EASILY a non permanent way to heat a grow area, fan may not be needed, and cheap, I think like $30-50. Considering the cost of purchasing a good electric heater and cost of running it vs pulling heat from your all ready running furnace.
In short, if your having problems keeping your area warm enough in winter, check your furnace for an unused outlet that you can tie into and run cheap flex duct to your area.

Pasty's "Super easy LC" is super easy for beginners...Hamloaf LC is good too. Both work well.

The only problem with LC is, do you have a true clean culture an is your tek on point to get said culture into the LC with contaminating. That's the only issues with LC. If you can nail down a clean culture and clean transfer TEK you should be good.
FYI, and I KNOW I will get some heat for this, BUT if you end up with an LC with a bit bacteria but NO mold, it works just fine for inoculating cakes. BUT they have to be fruited as cakes, NOT recommended for spawning cakes to bulk. Since we don't shake them around or break them up, the mycelium can outrun the bacteria on the cake. They also colonize fast.

Pasty's method allows you to inspect the culture after transfer and to then test if you feel it's needed...That's one reason it's good for beginners.

This is VERY true. I started out this way, but I was also a dumb fuck who hardly knew jack shit about agar, LOL. What I believed was clean, was still contaminated as fuck.

mushboy said: it looks fine acts fine, then spawned and boom .
that means the definition of 'fine' isnt where it needs to be.

Nothing more, nothing less. Not all contams are visible, not all eyes are equally good to begin with, and trained eyes are worth a whole lot more. "Fine" is just an expression of an impression, and contams are just an expression of a faulty impression.
