Amount of spores colonization time?
    #28887313 - 07/25/24 09:40 PM (5 months, 20 days ago)

Hi! Say you make your own spore syringe. Now say you make 2 of them and 1 you put only a tiny visible amount of spores and the other one you load up with a lot of spores that are floating all over the syringe. You then inoculate two separate substrates that are basically identical. Does the amount of spores per inoculation speed up colonization or would just a couple spores at work spread just as fast? I’m just curious as to how that works. Thanks!

Darker syringes will result in more contamination problems.  There is always going to be a certain percentage of contaminant spores on any print. Therefore, if you use more spores, you get more contaminants.  In addition, when you use a massive spore inoculation, you force the mycelium to spend a lot of time and energy combining all the genetics into a common network.

Many new growers think that more spores results in faster colonization.  What it results in is the substrate turning 'white' faster, but there is no evidence at all that the project will actually fruit sooner.  I am a firm believer in using the minimum amount of spores necessary to achieve a crop.  Nobody can see individual spores with their naked eyeballs.  What you see is clusters of a few thousand spores that are stuck together.  The spores in the center of these clusters are often locked out of the moisture on a substrate, so they rarely even get a chance to germinate.

Interesting, good to know and I will apply this information to my practices. Thank you
