I'm curious if it would starve without any nutrients in long term storage.

I'm pouring water agar this week and plan on taking a little break in a bit,so to hear about the water storage along with the water agar it's perfect timing.

I'll probably make a few extras and try reviving them in intervals (3mos 6mos, 1year, etc) and do a write up sharing the results as I go..

Cool.. I'll do it then.. I already planned on trying it out, so it's really no extra effort to make a few extras and test the viability.
Just to make it a little more interesting, I'll do a set in cold storage and a set at room temp to see if it makes a difference

I never tried slants cause I figured it wouldn't come out right for me. I've always just made super thick no pours that last forever in the fridge.

I haven't done any slants yet.. but I'm planning on retiring my TW clone culture for a while after I see how the current batch turns out, or at least making a master backup.. so this is really good timing to bring this up. It won't take much work to do a quick transfer to water agar while I'm waiting for it to fruit and then try it both ways (slant and water suspension)
Very cool that this write up is starting to generate some creativity.. the only reason we grow the way we do now is because of the community sharing and testing new ideas together

Great info, I'm going to give it a shot. I like simple and this is about as simple as it gets, lol. Hopefully I'll have some clean myc in the next couple weeks and I'll post up when I make mine.

Yeah.. I didn't watch ANY YouTube videos on mycology up until very recently.. I heard that there was a lot of misinformation, so I only learned from information on the shroomery until I thought I had enough of a foundation to weed out the bullshit..
I haven't found a lot of videos I like, but Yoshi Amano and Gary from Fresh From the Farm Fungi have really stood out to me for having solid videos..
I just stumbled on this one today when watching some of Gary's videos and found it pretty interesting.
I really liked how he used it to get a sample straight from some substrate.. I don't think I would have thought of doing that.

Before I first actually got started I bought and read like 5 different books on the subject and watched prob every you tube vid there is. Took it all in and filtered out what I thought either logically wouldnโt work and focused on what actually made sense. Didnโt find shroomery until right after my first grow was over. Would have been much easier if I stumbled upon this place about 9 months ago. Lol

So I haven't finished the video yet but I had to come back here to ask is agar really pronounced auger? I've always said it like A garr. Or some like that.
Edit: I also noticed he said more nutritious agar gives fast vigorous growth I know the opposite to be true what gives?

We had a discussion the other day (I believe it was in the cultivation general discussion thread) about all the different myco words that are commonly pronounced different ways:
Albino, Psilocybe, Agar, Cubensis, etc..
I personally pronounce it the same way you do, but there seems to be a lot of variation when it comes to some common terms used in mycology

Yea I remember the Convo I got in on the discussion a little. This is just the first time I think I've ever heard agar pronounced by someone other than myself so it blew my mind lol. Homeboy that runs the local Asian market just calls it jello. Cracks me up... On the inside... A little... I guess...
