Can you use too much LC in a spawn jar?
    #26826957 - 07/16/20 12:58 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

So I'm still new, but I am looking to inoculate 30 jars today from LC. Everything I see says that 1-2mL is all you need. Occasionally I'll see some guy say he does 10mL.

I was looking to use 20mL+ per quart jar, for explosive growth. Are there negative consequences to using that much LC? I got myself a stir plate and found that I was able to get almost gallon of fully colonized LC in less than a week, with almost 0 effort. Right now we are going through a heat wave, and I was hoping to speed things up a bit with more LC.

I also have some other ideas that I really want to play with LC, so I don't think I can have too much on hand.

Yeah too much soaks the grain and it takes forever.

A little bit goes a long way.

The only negative consequence I can think of if it's a healthy lc is if it throws off the moisture balance you're screwing yourself.

It grows extremely fast if you did it right.

Personally I stay away from lcs now as they don't seem to be consistent, for myself at least.

I use grain spawn filled a quarter way up the jar and inject sterile water, shake it up and draw it out then I innoc with that. Works every time

Thanks for the advice. I went with 1 mL.


Aka,

Do you know anyone trying large amounts of LC on various stages and amounts of grain, to see if there is a sweet spot for lots of LC and extremely explosive growth?

I did a little experiment when I started. I did quarts prepped a little dry and did 75ml and 50ml.

Honestly I think 5ml is probably the best. If the lc culture and grain prep are on point I’ve had quarts finish in like 4.5 days and I barely know what I’m doing.

If you had a syringe filter cut off flush on the inside of the lid maybe you could
Suck the liquid out while holding it upside down after you evenly distribute the LC. Then you could use as much as you want.

If it worked people with little apartments could produce massive amounts with ease.

I’ve let it settle to the bottom and poured water off the top to concentrate it before. I’ve seen talk of straining the myc out but never seen it done.

Really there’s not enough gain to make it worth messing with, 4-7 day colonization is plenty fast.

Something else must be up then. After 2.5 days this is all I see in growth. Granted its warmer than I'd like it to be, but I can only control it so much. I'd wager my growing area gets 80+ for about 8 hours a day, with my AC on full blast.

It can take a range of time to recover based on the culture and grains.

I’ve only ever used wbs so idk for sure but that Iooks pretty bacterial.

I pour quite a bit in my jars and never had any issues about it
