Is it just me or is taking clones of semp fruits a bit difficult?  The fruits were so damn stringy I couldn’t get a good piece from inside the stipe.

I take the desired fruit and spray it with 70% iso (i know its pretty ruthless) and let it dry for a minute then chop a little piece with a flame sterilized blade (i use my scalpel) and off to the plate (your standard pan agar 0.5%).
Every person has their own way of doing things. Think of me as Granny's way... old and stubborn

ps,
This is intended for indoor grown fruits only, outdoors require more attention to detail.

they seem to be like Pans in the way that MS performs better, IME, like in the case of this plin:

regretting spreading 2qt by 3 tubs... but I have mushrooms and very sensitive to light tilting mushrooms indeed

They do indeed, at least in my experience. I just shared how i clone because someone asked. When growing pans, you never go wrong with MS.

This is why myceliated grain jars come in handy when shit hits the fan

Tired of scrolling down to page 4 to find this thread.  So bumping it back up.

Oh.....2 agar plates I nocced up a few days ago  have germinated.  To early to tell if it is the spores or contaminate.  But got some good growth around a visible chunk of spores so hoping at least some of it is semps and I can clean it up with transfers.

What is the current best practice?

I was planning on doing 1 or 2 transfers and then starting a liquid culture for future use and going agar to millet for some immediate action.

I like millet due to the tiny grain size for lots of inoculation points, absolute brain dead easy prep, and anecdotal reports of increased potency.

Still working on my plan once I have clean spawn, but will probably try just coir first and treat it like a cube.......  may do some grain to grain to expand and get some bag grows going.  People seem to have had success with that. 

Not in a hurry, just want to do it right and get some fruits so I can see what all the fuss is about.

Treating it like a cube your first go isn't a terrible idea, I'd stay around 1:2 ratio personally as well. Don't forget to mist the fruits regularly
