Doesn't look too bad. I've seen ugly grain produce wonderfully and pretty grain produce poorly. Just go for it.

I guess we're about to find out, I hope you guys are right. I made a batch before prior to this one for other projects and they are colonizing rather slowly. This last batch that I'm using for the growlog seems better hydrated so I hope it works out.

First attempt was a traditional prep, rinse-soak-boil-steam dry. And this last attempt was 24hrs soak with initial hot tap water-strain-load wet. This wheat seems to have a tougher outer layer than most I've had, maybe that has something to do.

20 October.

These are 3 of the germination plates. All were inoculated with tiny pieces of the swab except the one in the first pic that got a big piece (you can actually see a piece of cotton sticking out if you enlarge the pic). Made the first transfers today and also made a couple LC's.
On another note, I'm a little disappointed on the 4 little 60ml LC's I started. They look good but they're taking more time than I was expecting.

When you use your blade to bury the swab do you twist and cover the cotton with loose puck or just do a quick in and out like when you use a needle?
Thinking of trying this with a couple new varieties, sounds a lot easier overall than a bunch of transfers

Quick in and out, maybe twist a little.

Incidentally, now that I'm seeing the pics I think I made a not so good choice taking tranfers. I had really bad lightning fuck...

Bad wording sorry, I was meaning to say that I think there were better looking sectors to take transfers from than those that I ended up poking.

From the first growlog:

23 October.

Out of the four 60ml LC's this is the only one I stirred when I felt like it and it looked done today. First and last time I'm using these little jars, fuck em. I thought they were going to be done far sooner.

I aspirated 50ml of LC and inoculated 8 jars of wheat like the one below, which has all sort of shit mixed in that I didn't put there. 


One of the couple LC's I inoculated 3 days ago. It has .1% agar, hence the turbidity. I think I'm going to be adding agar to my LC's from now on, I'm liking it so far.
Ok so now both projects from the 2 growlogs are on grain. There's nothing to do but wait...

Appreciate it man. Really it doesn't feel like work, it's actually a lot of fun, dunno how I didn't do this before. It would feel like a lot of work if I had to write it up end to finish in one go, but that's the beauty of a live growlog, shit's slow and you only get to post up the little updates every once in a while.

Not an update but something curious. These are the glass containers with sterile water that I used for dunking the swabs before using them and now they've turned into little LC's. 
Just now I was going through my old plates to see what I could toss and found these. I think there's enough nutes there for the spores to germinate because these containers were used as PF-tek pucks previously and they weren't washed thoroughly at all.
Life finds a way...

O yeah that'll start a culture for sure! Even the minerals in non-demineralized water are enough for spores to hatch, just fyi.... That's why demineralized is used for spore syringes.
