Absolute maximum amount of LC safe to use

I am wondering what is the maximum amount of lc that can be used in a quart of rye grain? Im using RR's rye tek with coffe/gypsum, 24hr soak, and 10 min boil. I have been letting the grain get a little more dry than usual and trying to add even more lc.
What is the "right amount" here(from Bodhisatta's unmodified tub tek)?

LC to quart of spawn takes 3-4 days to colonize if you use the right amount
So far, I have tried 5 and shook it up to distribute it and the spawn took around 10 days. Im using Josex's LC Tek (unfiltered grain water lc).
Can I dry the grain extra after hydrating and use even more? Do you shake when you use a large amount of it?
I have pretty much unlimited of this lc, and I havent had any jars go bad from any of them.

Munch uses up to 50 ml in his blenderless LI tek.
I’ve only ever heard of pf-slurry finishing a grain jar that fast. LC/LI to 1/2 pint pf tek is supoosed to be 4 days at 10-20 ml.

I just dumped 400ml into 8 jars. The bottom of the grain layer is almost under water. ...didnt have enough on hand grains.. 400ml of lc could easily do 20-30 quarts.
Dont shake a freshly inoculated lc jar. Wait for that shit to recover. I got yelled at once for doing that.

You should run an experiment
I never use more than ~5 cc’s, but many members pour directly from the LC jar, I’m sure that ends up being at least 10ccs probably more.
Just brainstorming but maybe you could experiment with adding some dry verm or coir after your grain prep before the PC cycle so you can add extra.

But how do you then get full colonization in 3-5 days as bod says? Maybe I´m missing something but it seems that the LC would have to be evenly distributed for those colonization times?
How fast do your qt jars colonize when inoculation with 50cc per jar?

I thought of adding dry verm, but then I thought that it wouldn't sterilize if it was dry. I thought it would all need to be wet to get sterilized in the jar.

Well I would think it would get some what moist when the water in the jar turns to steam and later condenses. Also vermiculite is mineral and should only have possible contamination on the surface, making it easier to knock out, or at least so I think.
I will add this. I usually use 10 ml of LC. I have poured and went through about 25ml per jar by pouring. If grain is prepped correctly it should be able to absorb the water from the LC. Now with more LC I was shaking gently, each day to distribute the water. I don't have to do this with 10 ml, but have been shaking when inoculating, to distribute the LC. This could be slowing down my leap off time.

I’m pretty sure thats not how that works. the steam that is needed for the heat comes from the water in the PC. Verm is sterile enough as it is, you can add it to pasteurized sub after the pasteurization. I’m sure after 2 hours at 15 psi its clean AF.

When I did LI I did like 15 to 30 ML. and thats really just a guess cause I simply poured it and spread half a pint of water between 8 to 10 jars. I know less is more because you dont wanna fuck your water content of the grains. So if you do use LI or LC its a good idea to prep your grains a bit on the dryer side as they will absorb that excess moisture. With my grain LI I used varying ranges. one had a drop of LI the other had 1 cc and then one had 5 cc. they all colonized about the same rate although the ones with more LI did colonize quicker. More inoc points = win.

I poured 450~ml into ten jars. Waited 5 days before shake. Got 12 hour recovery time. Rye was done sbj quick prep style. 25 min vent 3 hour PC. So they were somewhat dry.
I also got yelled at for shaking right away

i wait until i see the myc recover.
for me, this does 2 things. allows me to inspect the top surface of the grains for contams(sign of poor inoculation teq) and the second isnt so much of a long winded story as it is pointless and rambling.(slow recovering lc is a bad sign)

also with shaking early your not giving the mycelium to leap to the grain. Plus it seems to dry your grains out.

Evaporation at a more constant rate. A pool of water won't evaporate as quick as a pool of water that sprayed out thin.
I see what you mean since my grains r drier they like the extra water. And just something I've been told then took notice of. The ones shaken 5days later look nice and plump the ones shaken directly after.. not so plump.
This also could all be wrong. I've smoked almost a gram of wax

I would assume it would be much less wet 
Just something that I've noticed the shaken jars don't have the same plumpness as ones when I would wait to shake. Edit could also not be moisture loss but something else

At some point moisture loss is a thing because I've water the water level go down pre shake. I don't think the grains are taking it too much (no burst grains)

Then your GE hole may be to big. Also burst grains usually happen from fast hydrating. If grains are prepped correctly they should be able to absorb the water, without busting.

I have not seen anyone use just a ring and SFD yet. I have seen holes in the lid and that over the SFD. Bigger GE holes can and will cause drying out. I guess oysters are so fast that they could colonize a whole jar faster than it would dry, but still sketchy.

I always thought you took a sterile syringe and loaded it up with LC then transferred that to a sterile grain jar.
I thought opening your LC would expose it to contams.

Put 10ml of water in a jar and use the lid your normally would for grains. Leave it somewhere warmer than normal. Betcha you lose almost no water over a week. I'm thinking the culprit is something else

That's what is recommended when buying sfds. Whole sfd and ring

Fairly new to using a shit load of LC
If you are working with LC you have to learn to be able to open sterile media properly. Its a prerequisite , since the LC gets inoculated with an agar wedge.
It needs to be done in a still air box or in front of a laminar flow cabinet
A still air box keeps the air still enough that you can open sterile media without contaminants in the air falling in so long as you don't stir up the air or move anything unsterile over the top of the media , like your hands.
With a flowhood contaminants that normally would fall down become trapped in the laminar flow and are blown perpendicular. As long as nothing unsterile passes between the filter face and open media , sterile media will stay sterile.

If you let LI sit instead of shaking immediately does that aid in initial leap off times and imorove overall colonization times? I usually see 4 days for initial growth leap off using blenderless LI.

I also got yelled at for shaking right away 
Im confused with the pouring method.
I always thought you took a sterile syringe and loaded it up with LC then transferred that to a sterile grain jar.
I thought opening your LC would expose it to contams.
Fairly new to using a shit load of LC
If you are working with LC you have to learn to be able to open sterile media properly. Its a prerequisite , since the LC gets inoculated with an agar wedge.
It needs to be done in a still air box or in front of a laminar flow cabinet
A still air box keeps the air still enough that you can open sterile media without contaminants in the air falling in so long as you don't stir up the air or move anything unsterile over the top of the media , like your hands.
With a flowhood contaminants that normally would fall down become trapped in the laminar flow and are blown perpendicular. As long as nothing unsterile passes between the filter face and open media , sterile media will stay sterile.
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?

From eats slurry in a hurry
Quote:
15. After you have inoculated all of your jars and bags. You simply shake the jars for 20 seconds each. You want to distribute that extra water you poured into your grain jars as much as possible so that you don't have any issues after this. At first you will get a little scared because your jars will look like there is pooling water at the bottom once they have sat on the shelf a few hours. Be patient, wait it out. The idea is to have fully colonized jars in 3 days without a shake and it works.
From muda LI thread
Quote:
once all you have finished the last inoculation. take your jars out of the SAB and give each of them a good shake.
From munch’s bli - Quote:
shake receiving jars until the agar is visibly evenly distrubited throughout the jar
Ill have not tried not shaking. I had no idea there was faster recovery leaving it be for a while.

We using lc.
LI is just myc water. Slurries are already colonized networks and bottles are different. Its an all in one.
But with grain jars plus lc.. Wait until you see it recover. Thats when i shake em. They will be finished a few days later at most.
If not? Something got dirty. And i get skeptical about spawning.
Lc shows no mercy

I fail to see how lc vs li would differ in when and why to shake. Lc is made of grain flour and water and li is made of grain flour agar and water. maybe im missing something in their applications that they should be used differently or maybe old methods need an update.

I think it has to do with the mycelium actually growing on Solid matter and not just liquid.

LI is live mycelium that utilizes water as the transfer medium. LC is the cultivation of a live mushroom mycelium culture (if it's clean) grown in an artificial, or organic medium containing nutes.
Once either is running on grains no difference is made upon when it's shook. An LI won't require a shake because it doesn't colonize a media. An LI will only need to be shook in order for the mycelium to be loosened from it's original growing medium and suspended in water, then transferred onto it's new medium.

Are you sure it doesnt colonize a media? I have observed li syringes that have huge colonies inside them after say a week. It looks like its quite alive in there to me. Since they (lc and li) both contain the same ingredients and initial inoculant source at what point does li become lc?
Im going to test no shake LI next time side by side with shaking to see what differences i can observe. Its worth trying if you guys say it colonizes faster.
I have read you (hamloaf) saying to gently roll jars after inoculating them with LC instead of shaking vigorously. Do you do the same thing with LI?
I just wanna know whats best and fastest. Going by the 3 teks above hearing about no shake has me ...shook

Sweet, looking forward to seeing the results! I was just about to ask who want´s to split the burden with me of testing this theory out with LC and LI, shaking vs no shaking, but I don´t have free jars or the time to do both. So I´mma do this experiment with LC soon so we can finally see what this all means.

I'm a total noob, being at the point of having some nearly colonized shoeboxes, but that is it... still I've been annoyed at the use of liquid culture and liquid inoculant as synonyms.
I've been using liquid inoculant lately, with whole plates or partials of agar mycelium, dropped into sterile water or grain water. These are used right away or stored in the fridge. LC, on the other hand, as I understand it, is actually germinated or transfered to and grown like an agar plate, except liquid.
I think I have run into problems with amounts of liquid in recent jars with LI, especially with LI which was made with less agar grown mycelium. It seems from observation that the less mycelium is present per amount of water, the less should be added to the grain jars. In some of my half pints from the last round, there is obviously too much water, even though I used the normal amount from my last round. The LI from these was made with far less mycelium from agar...even though they were made from transfers.
However, my first and second round of jars from great white monster culture were made from the germination plate. Half of an approximately 4 inch diameter agar plate was used, as opposed to half of a 60mm petri for the others (lots more mycelium). The LI was stored in the fridge for a couple of weeks between inoculations, yet the second batch is doing as well as the first. With these GWM inoculations, 100% colonization has been happening around 5-7 days.
My grain prep was basically what is described in this thread - rinse, long soak, 10 minute boil, steam dry. The only difference I have noted is the amount of mycelium added to the LI, since the same conditions and sterile practices were followed for all jars.
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. I always shake the LI rapidly after dropping the agar, and I always shake the grain jars after pouring the LI.
Obviously, there are other factors which could come into play, but this is simply my observation from my recent one session inoculation of sixteen jars from three different varieties of cubensis LI.

LI left to sit is similar to pastys EZ LC tek. The water leaches the nutrients out of the agar, in effect turning it into a weak LC over time. So then you can get clouds growing from the nutrients leached out.

My li syringes are left in room temperature and grow like crazy. Ill take a pic later to show you.
Yea exactly mh420. If left in the fridge its probably going to stay uncolonized.

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..

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

Is it correct to assume that a liquid culture needs to go from a 'liquid' state into a 'solid' state before it can start colonizing solid materia?
This is why LI jumps off on everything faster than LC because LI is already in a state where it´s anatomically ideal for colonizing solid material. This anatomy is of course not ideal for colonizing liquids, and that´s why you get faster take off when inoculating LC with LC rather then with an agar culture.
Correct me where I´m wrong I´m just inviting a discussion!

Making LC out of blended agar seems intuitively faster than waiting for LC to colonize 2 weeks from a biopsy or small wedge.
8 days ago i added water to a jar using EZLC at a quarter size the mycelium in the jar is minimal. And thats after 7 days to get to quarter size! I was actually just thinking there has to be a faster method to get LC than 2-3 weeks. Thanks mushpunx fir the confirmatiin on my initial thoughts on LI.

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.

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.

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

**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.

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

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.

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

And thats why you should pour. Trust the mush. Pour the mush. Its begging you.
I use cheap tyvek filters with mp tape. I shake my lc like a crying baby.
And a basic 1g nute tp 500ml broth doesnt even need a filtered lid. It will get enough GE from the air when you open the broth to inoculate.
Higher nute broths seem to want/need more ge then whats insideca jar.

One option is to get a blender bottle. Drill a small hole top, use some poly/MP tape as a filter for said hole. PC the blender bottle to sterilize. Pour your LC into blender bottle, swirl the fuck out of it to break up the myc and pour.

i want to make a lc here in the next few days, my brains been overloaded with information like its not even funny, i like the idea of pastys EZLC as well as josex idea with grain water and munch's tiger drop blenderless li...
im not sure which route i want to take, i would like to pull some syringes of the clean lc and store them for later use, im not worried about pouring from the culture either, but i would like to have some clean lc in the fridge at all times i tend to like to constantly have clean cultures. and im always starting new projects and putting others on hold.
the reason i want to pull syringes is because i dont want to have a bunch of jars floating around with lc in them.
my goal is to take 1 cube, make enough lc to pull some syringes and then take 1 culture whether it be LC or li and pour to grain so i can start having some of that particular spawn and move on.
im leaning towards pastys tek for that, i have some lids made up with sfd's and rtv ports to pull from. would that tek work for what i wish to accomplish with the syringes?
p.s im not looking to make quarts full of lc just enough to pull a few syringes hope that makes sense

I tried josex biopsy with unfiltered brf. I had bad visibilty on the LC . EZLC (pda) in 9-10 days seems to colonize a bit faster. When i do my next clone batch id try it wit no food coloring for even more visibility. Try both methods. If you only want a few syringes ezlc in the squat 1/2 pints should work through a noob ship.

does this method work for wbs? i use sbj's no boil wbs, i dont boil anymore cause i always tend to have more than the acceptable amount bust open... but im sure i could just do it like josex and put ground brf to into water n do it that way right?

see ive never tried anything besides MEA, ive read brf is too messy and sticky, idk that just turns me off right out the gate.
and the only lc ive done was the karo shit like a year ago, i like the fact that i can grow it out on a plate then add water to make sure its clean like pastys tek, or how munch just drops in a clean plate and uses it right away, i like them all, i will have a crack at them all eventually and use each method as needed.
right now i have a clean plate so i will use munch's tek to get some clean spawn going, and pastys to get my syringes pulled.

Im taking Grain water Agar wedge -- To Lc Jars may have grain water in them not sure. i was looking at this sick as tek By Mr. Hamloaf
HLC For Life Fam
does this method work for wbs? i use sbj's no boil wbs, i dont boil anymore cause i always tend to have more than the acceptable amount bust open... but im sure i could just do it like josex and put ground brf to into water n do it that way right?
I tried josex biopsy with unfiltered brf. I had bad visibilty on the LC . EZLC (pda) in 9-10 days seems to colonize a bit faster. When i do my next clone batch id try it wit no food coloring for even more visibility. Try both methods. If you only want a few syringes ezlc in the squat 1/2 pints should work through a noob ship.
see ive never tried anything besides MEA, ive read brf is too messy and sticky, idk that just turns me off right out the gate.
and the only lc ive done was the karo shit like a year ago, i like the fact that i can grow it out on a plate then add water to make sure its clean like pastys tek, or how munch just drops in a clean plate and uses it right away, i like them all, i will have a crack at them all eventually and use each method as needed.
right now i have a clean plate so i will use munch's tek to get some clean spawn going, and pastys to get my syringes pulled.</font></font></font></font>
When you say Get my Syringes Pulled you making Lc with injection port? i was thinkign about just doing the pour method seems ways less stress full yea might loose a few jars of grains nothing that cant be replaced and remade/More Grain water this time im going to cook grains up with hpoo in it aswell trying something new i was reading

And thats why you should pour. Trust the mush. Pour the mush. Its begging you.
I use cheap tyvek filters with mp tape. I shake my lc like a crying baby.
And a basic 1g nute tp 500ml broth doesnt even need a filtered lid. It will get enough GE from the air when you open the broth to inoculate.
Higher nute broths seem to want/need more ge then whats insideca jar.
Word. I made a couple syringes a week ago so Imma go through those first before pouring.
I kinda have my hands full at the moment with a lot of other things

I like to pour as well, and use unmod lids. It seems that as long as the inoculant/culture is strong, then it colonizes fine regardless of the extra moisture.
Have been on this cult journey for over a month, and have not used a syringe yet.

ya im using a port, the only reason i wanna pull syringes is so i can store them in the fridge without having a bunch of jars, more hidden i guess since i store em in a lunch pail. i will be pouring as well after i have a small amount of clean culture i can store away

AyePlus said: You should run an experiment
I never use more than ~5 cc’s, but many members pour directly from the LC jar, I’m sure that ends up being at least 10ccs probably more.
Just brainstorming but maybe you could experiment with adding some dry verm or coir after your grain prep before the PC cycle so you can add extra.
I tried this last night. I made 14 quart jars worth of spawn and mixed a 1 1/2 quart of dry verm in just before packing the jars. Then I used about 3-400 ml of lc split about evenly between those 14 jars. There was a pretty big pool of liquid at the bottom of each. I know im not supposed to shake, but I couldnlt help but tilt the jar different ways until the drip of lc stopped moving around and soaked up on enough grain/verm.

So roughly 30ccs + per. Interesting, a shake will likely slow recovery time but spread myc more evenly, but your pour method might not. I wonder how quick you will get full colonization. Has the LC been tested on agar?

At around 30ccs lc per quart I got 11 days. Shook at day 5
I lied 9-10dsys for full colonization.

No, I dont test my lc anymore. I just assume its good, pour it, and it hasnt done me wrong since.

You can do that? Ive always just used a drilled hole with a peice of tyvek sealed with silicon. Im using Josex's unfiltered grain lc.
