Agar clone progress question with pic
    #26974427 - 10/07/20 08:03 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)


Soooooooo, here's a picture of my first attempt at cloning. It's a pin I cloned from agar to another agar plate. I've read from several places that cloning pins from agar is not ideal compared to cloning from grains (based on this one anyway). I say this because it's been colonizing really sloooowwww (been 9 days as of today). Anyway, my question is about the circumference of this culture. It looks uneven to me, like it's not a monocular. How does this plate look to you guys? And as always, thank you guys in advance for any comments or suggestions.

A clone almost always will be made up of more than one strain, and thus not a monoculture. So, the fact that it's not perfectly symmetrical is normal. It looks good to me.

As for cloning an agar plate pin... they can be just as good as cloning a fruit from a tub in theory. However, you could say they could be more questionable since you have no clue if a plate pin fruits well or not. Whereas, if you clone a fruit from a tub you have an idea of how well it fruits based off the previous performance. That's the only real downside ime.

I've cloned pins from plates before with good success. A perk of them is that, if done right, you have a perfectly clean clone culture with no need for cleaning up

So it souds like I've got more transfers to do if I want to continue to work with this plate. Im gonna make up some more jars and fruit from spores to select a good candidate. Thank you for the input Gan. I just assumed all clones were monocultures. Crazy to think about the fact that I started reading up on mushroom cultivation in 2013 and I still have more reading to do!
