First time grower. Grain bag… Is this getting close to fruiting time? Or how to know? Thanks!:smile:





See how the mycelium is clumping & has tiny tiny little dots?
Those are called “hyphal knots” & “primordia” which form after full colonization and signal the beginnings of fruiting

Fantastic! I had a feeling it was getting close. I waited a long time to shake (10 weeks?) bc the spreading seemed to be slowing down but then I saw some turn up elsewhere and realized it was growing more within than just on the surface. So I mixed it up pretty well and then this is just maybe two weeks later. Thanks!

The grain grow bag I'm using is designed in a vertical orientation. When I slice it for fruiting, wouldn't it make sense to lay it down sideways to have a greater surface area for fruiting? Or does it work better standing on end, or ???

If these are pinning, they're not likely to do much more colonizing, right? What happens if I birth them and wash off the unused BRF in the dunk?

I'm a fan of using brf/verm for germination and cloning, like in this tek.  I use a brf/verm mix just like the pf tek and press it into modified holy grails.  Not technically agar but *close enough* :cool:

Hello, I would like to evaluate these LC.
They are made from brewer's yeast.
0.2% brewer's yeast.
2% dextrose.
500 ml.
The ones that are contaminated, I went overboard with the percentage of brewer's yeast, I don't remember how much, but I can't identify what grew, although it is quite noticeable in an image.
Greetings to everyone, thank you for your contributions to this forum, I spend the day reading your answers

There are healthy reasons for pinning and unhealthy reasons. If that was my jar I would birth and gently rinse off the vermiculite and whatever was left from the bottom of the jar and dunk. I’d leave the pins on but if they fell off I’d eat them. 
I don't know what your other jars look like.

Here you are. Only one is showing pinning in the PB, the others are slowly catching up, with one smol pin (this time i

n focus ) in the b+.

I inoculated PF jars on 1/3 and still no growth. I used what was sold as vendor “spores” but it definitely looked like LC - am I just being impatient? I’m surprised I haven’t seen growth yet!

Im going to steam some BRF cakes a little later tonight.  Was given this water bath canner a few years ago and it's been in my garage unopened until today. 



I want to do 10 jars and I don't have anything else that will let me do that much at once so going to try this out. I tested it out today and was able to get 2 hours at a rapid boil.  The other settings seem finicky when trying to get a "simmer" with steam




This grate holds the jars completely above the water while it is at a full boil, no splashing, etc.  No water touches the jars except for condensation dripping from the lid



My question...can I safely boil this water for 120 minutes without heat damaging the substrate?  I know it is the steam that is doing sterilizing and AFAIK steam is 212F whether it's from a rapid boil or a very low boil/simmer (correct me if im wrong).  Since I cannot accurately simmer I plan on just boiling the water for 2 hours.  Ive done some reading and ive found accounts of substrate being damaged by excessive heat so im just trying too be cautious before I send it.

Thanks

Do you have any idea how old it is? LC syringes look obviously different than spore syringes. LC will have suspended white/yellow looking culture living inside it, whereas spore syringes are literally just spores in distilled water so you'll just see black specs if you see anything at all.

If you didn't, next time do yourself a favor and make sure to squirt your LC onto the edges of the jars. It very well might be living and growing inside far from the edges.

This is so frustrating. Not a cultivatio question. But just curious. does anybody else ever have any problems using privnote?


Try either turning off VPN or using a different VPN server. Sometimes VPN servers get IP banned from public facing services due to others malicious usage of the VPN server. 

You might also want to try a different browser.

Are you just typing in a name/address or trying to embed http stuff, use special characters or do other wonky things?


Just a regular characters. name and address Etc nothing unusual embedded or out of the norm.

It used to work for me perfectly fine and then out of nowhere it just stopped.

Since then I've been using many of the other hundreds out there without any issue. My only issue now  was that Op im the giveaway wouldn't accept anything else LOL.


No VPN being used and I'm on my cell phone.

It’s not that old. I had already used the first half of the syringe with success on grain (I know it’s not recommended)

So I know it’s viable and yeah definitely LC not spores.

I also know I hit the side of the jars.

dehydrating in a convection oven?
I don't have a dehydrator (yet). My oven only goes as low as 170deg. Can I convection cook them at that temp to dehydrate? Or is that too high?


I don't see why not.  170 is not too hot.  and it will quickly dry them.



I would imagine that would be fine I run my dehydrator at 176 for 36 hours. That's the highest temp it goes and I run an extra 10 hours from the recommended just so I don't have to worry if are they fully dehydrated.

Do you flick or shake the syringe before inoculation? There is a chance that the LC was consolidated in one spot and you injected distilled water into the cake instead of inoculant. Slight chance. I recommend putting your LC syringe to agar, then transferring that to more plates to multiply your mycelium. You can use agar to inoculate BRF cakes. With agar you will know that they are clean.

Shook the shit out of it and also used the rest of the syringe with clearly visible growth in the cakes so I feel like something has to grow lol. Yeah this was more of a way to use the remainder of this syringe than anything but I’m
So surprised no growth has showed up!

I'm about to inoculate a test jar with an LC I made recently and my question is if I should suck as much LC up into the syringe and refrigerate the rest in the syringe after inoculation to be able to use it again or should I suck up just what I need for this jar then toss the syringe and store all the rest of it in the original jar?

No need to refrigerate...Don't toss the syringe.  Probably best to fill the syringe, since most ppl recommend only one use of LC (it's dependent on skill/technique). I'd save both and just be sure to test lc.
