New grower here just a couple questions
    #26818316 - 07/11/20 09:31 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hello all!!
This is my first post on the forums was a member on here a few years ago but cant remember my login details so i have to start over. But anyways to the questions

So a little info im going to be following the monotub tek.
I have to questions
1. How many 1 quart jars could i feasibly squeeze out of one syringe?

2. Would it be ok to do 3 monotubs with only 4 or 4 quarts of spawn?

More questions to come i just see lots of diffrent teks that say diffrent things and im honestly trying to get the most out of what im getting
Thanks in advance,
Direshroomer

1. If you're doing agar (recommended) technically millions. I'll drop spores onto 4-6 plates to start with just to find a good section of myc to transfer. After that I never use the syringe again. Each drop can make a dish, each dish can theoretically make hundreds more, etc etc.

2. You can, just adjust substrate volume to match the 2:1 ratio.

PS: I recommend checking out Bodhisattha's TEKs. Very easy to follow, no extra BS. He's a moderator, just click his name and follow the links in his signature.

1. Agar, best and cleanest way to go.
2. You will need 4 or 5 per mono. I use 5 quarts in my 66 qt mono's.

It might be easier to start with shoeboxes as a new grower. If you a lose a mono, that would suck. Lose a shoebox? You have many more. There’s prob reasons ppl advocate for monos but I’m just saying.

Yeah I am definitely looking to go the agar way. But what am i looking for in growth Whats a good dish look to a bad growing dish what traits do i do I look for/want and then one the agar is colonized do i just plop it into a mono tub how many need to go in there seems like it would be a lot?

Agar -> grain -> shoebox or mono

Shoeboxes are super nice because all of your eggs aren't in one basket and they super efficient space-wise.

Once you have clean agar cultures you'll never need to buy another syringe
Once you have mature fruit you'll have enough spores for a lifetime.

If agar seems intimidating (it isn't, but I remember being intimidated by it) I'd recommend pf Tek just to familiarize yourself with the lifecycle and to get spore prints.

Also, it sounds like you would benefit from reading up on some of the tried and true teks.

The holy grail

Everything you need is in that link ^

A basic overview is:

Spores to agar (will probably contam but that's ok)

Transfer myc to new plates until only myc grows

Cut clean plate into sections and transfer to grain jars

Let jars colonize

Mix coir, verm and spawn jars into shoebox

Wait

Pick fruits

Make spore prints

Repeat

There are a zillion variations and tons of terrible(usually really old) info out there. If you want the best chance of success follow  bod's teks (or other trusted cultivators).

Agree with basically everything you said... I did a few shoeboxes just to try ratios out, but ended up doing mostly mono.  But I've only just started agar and I've never had a single contamination unless it came directly out of the syringe.  I keep low airflow and sterile air, is that possibly helping?  I've never even had a single bacterial spore on any plate.  Is that unusual?
