Your agar doesnt get all stuck to the sides of the jars when you shake? Myne seems to either do that or lump together even more

whats the rush? inoculate 5 lc broths. Make one every 5days
in about a month youll have the potential to knock up hundreds of grain jars at any given notice.
always have a bench going

do you have to blend the agar into the water? could u just use an unmodified lid on a colonized agar plate, assuming ur using a glass jar, and pour in sterile water and shake the shit out of it then G2G it after?

Im not in a rush to make the lc, im in a rush to have spawn ready. I have a lot of good grain water lc.
I just inoculated 14 quart rye jars, I used 500 ml on the first 8 (i didnt mean to use that much), then I had a couple syringes of some karo/grain water lc to finish the rest. I may have put too much in those first ones .
Ill be making another 16 spawn jars again today.
Its not so much as a rush as I am perfectly okay spending entire days doing this, I can make as much lc as I want, its really easy, and I dont want to waste any time. If my jars are taking 2 weeks to colonize, but its possible for them to colonize in 5-10, I have improvement to make.

If your wedges are getting stuck to the side of the jar and you can't knock them off maybe stiffen your agar mix a bit

Is there any amount of LC or anything someone would like to see on a jar of spawn? I can use a few of these jars today to experiment if anyone is wondering what limits can be pushed.
I was thinking about the suggestion of adding vermiculite to make it dryer. Or maybe dehydrating it for a few mins, or adding extra gypsum.

Thanks for the input. I am using a no-pour tek, so I am cooking it in a pot first, pouring it, then pcing it. When you say stiffen, should I cook it longer, use less water, or both? I am using pre-mixed MEA.

i find 3-4 grams of premixed MEA to a half cup of water results in some nice stiff agar
but to stiffen just add more agar

Spivkurl said: As a result, I have concluded that the amount of clean mycelium from agar placed in the LI has a direct bearing on the colonization time.
LI doesnt colonize its just suspended. LC colonizes. wut are you referring too?
liquid inoculate - the wedge is chopped up and in liquid 'form' liquid culture - a tiny wedge(or biopsy) is used to inoculate the rich broth, expanding the tiny piece into something that can inoculate many quarts.
you can do the same with LI, but youd need a new culture per X amount of LI jars made per Y amount of grain jars. or whatever.
**more LI is more cultures. more LC is just expanding 1 culture into endless broths. thats better..
I'm talking about colonization of the grain, not the liquid. LI doesn't colonize, but LC must be colonized.
What I'm getting at, is that the massive amount of inoculation points in a "stronger" LI seems to offset the use of more liquid, by allowing the mycelium to colonize before any contam issues from the extra liquid set in.
ie. Less inoculation points + liquid = slower colonization = more likely for mycelium to get overrun. More inoculation points + same amount of liquid = faster colonization = less likely for mycelium to get overrun.
Maybe I am faulty in my thinking, but it seems to be the case in my recent work. Less mycelium added to the LI seems to even lessen the likelyhood of any mycelium taking hold on the grain at all.

mushpunx said: "I use a SAB
Let me make my question easier.
My LC has a nice giant cloud sitting at the bottom of my LC jar. (Typical yes)
What I typically do is stir it up pretty good to let the cloud move to the top of the liquid and float.
While it's floating I suck it up in a syringe and then use the syringe for my grain jars.
I don't see how the pouring method works effectively.
Do you shake your LC jar and then pour some stuff into fresh sterile grain jars?"
I just give the LC a quick swirl to mix it up and then pour some into the receivers, same as if I was doing a G2G transfer.
When I make LC, and I think this is the best way to make LC, I start by blending my agar wedge in some sterile water in an Eberbach container.. making an LI. Then I pour it into my LME broth in a flask, and set it on a magnetic stir plate to spin for a few days.
It typically is ready to use in a few days, and there is no solid blob of myc that needs to be broken up or sucked up. The mYC will seperate and settle yea, but just a quick swirl and it's ready to pour or fill stringes
I have a SFD lid with a silicon injection port on my LC jar.
Could I flame my needle and suck up some liquid and then shoot it back into the jar a couple of time to rise the mycel to the top and then do a pour transfer?

why wouldnt you just pour it directly from the jar? you can stir the jar without opening it at all.

The cloud at the bottom doesnt break up that easily.
So if I would just pour some liquid in a grain jar I doubt I will even have any mycel in the grain jar.
Unlesss I am wrong and it's floating everywhere inside my LC jar
Here's my jar

go though them and find the one that says ______Blenderless Liquid Inoculate!______
kinda the same aspect in my eyes idk about the anal guys but seems right

wetting the filter would be a bad idea.
you filled yours up pretty high. if you did it half way you could swirl the jar a bit. I would also like to know when is the optimal time to pour LC. minimum and maximum.

Probably once you feel you got a decent out of cloud at the bottem he looks like hes got a decent bit in there

I just don't feel comfortable opening the lid i guess.
I could always do my method of sucking the liquid up with a syringe and shooting it back down a couple times to loosen everything up.
That's exactly what i did with my old LC jar that I transferred the LC from that jar to this jar
