Noob question on efficiently expanding commercial colonized growbox
    #28235297 - 03/18/23 03:31 PM (8 days, 8 hours ago)

I bought a commercial growbox fully colonized with Golden Teacher which is ready to fruit. These boxes are really expensive to buy, so I want to use the mycelium wisely.

First I thought about going bulk with it on sheep poo + vermiculite + gypsum + coir, but then I read that in this way I am not adding much nutritional value and I am limited by tye amount of colonized seeds from the growbox.

Now I think that a more appropriate way would be Grain2Grain first to increase the amount of colonized grain and if that works then going bulk. Note that the growbox already contains a ready substrate with unknown ingredients (I can see verm and grains)

The third option would be not to touch the box, let it fruit and then start with spore prints etc. This however like the most challenging option to me.

What do you think makes most sense? I have access to a pressure cooker, but not to any lab equipment.

wait for it to fruit then take clones and prints
agar + still air box = success

If someone gave me a fully colonized shoebox, I’d case it, dub tub it, and clone the best fruit to agar. I mean why not? The works already done, grab the best fruit from this grow and use that to expand.  Think of it as a head start.

I think this option would also be the lowest risk of loss.

My vote is for fruiting it.
