Want to get back to cultivation, is this the quickest method for new fruits?
    #26340112 - 11/23/19 12:28 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Heyo, used to do bulk, not quite interested in that, just tired of not having my own supply anymore because I had the best sweet bbs

I don't have any living agar cultures left, but I do have spore prints for the mystery strain you can see in my sig (I mjght try with a Leucistic one as well but I have had very little luck with that spore print)

So, for the quickest fruits, my idea is this:

1- Put spores to agar plates, transfer quickly to get a clean culture. How small can it be so that it is safe to transfer? Dime sized?

2- get a nice juicy agar plate, do a liquid LI with a syringe by injecting sterilized water, shaking around, and then suck that up so that I have LI syringes

3- inoculate the proper half pint flat jars of WBS Flour Cakes, (first time I found the short squat ones) with said LI

4- either fruit from the jar a la bottle tek, or shred them them to pasteurized coir trays. Not interested in fucking around with perlite stuff for cakes. Top fruiting half pint cakes should be totally fine, right?

Here are my questions

a: how much LI can I put in a half pint? I want to maximize the speed of colonization, never did cakes with LI but I am assuming it will colonize incredibly quickly, right?

b: with LI inoculated cakes, should I let them consolidate? Been so long since I've done cakes.

c: would the extra step of smaller cake sized coir trays be worth it from your experience? I just want to get it done quicker, would ratio would you recommend, 1:2?

d: does top fruiting work well with the protective layer of vermiculite? Or do I rinse that off and hydrate the cake before hand? Since it's LI not spores, should I just omit it?

Thanks y'all

You have WBS flour? If you're gonna bulk to coir why not use whole grain?

I've made my own in the past with a blender, just grind up the WBS and replace the BRF. That was the nicest jar I had made, and I have an inkling that the nutrition variety somehow helps.

I don't want to do grain prep, I want to work with cakes for a change.

Also, no. I won't necessarily do bulk if top fruiting half pints is reliably a good option. If I do, I'd rather just shread the cakes and do it like that, one thing that I haven't tried in years.

I was super done with tubs looking fine and molding after the first flush.
