The mycelium you're after grows in a pretty orderly fashion and what you've got there seems to be all over the place :sad:


Even if it's growing from the center out? I thought most of those pictures of nice consistent round growth is growing outward from where it was inoculated. Do you still expect to see that when injecting LC in various spots in the middle?


In my experience at least yes. It will squirm out in a fairly orderly manner. Lots of straight lines. If they start going wonky and crossing each other its a bad sign

This was a couple days after a shake and came through the middle



Gah, thanks. Wasted so much time and energy on bags and LC, including trying multiple different strains from different vendors. I had maybe 1/30 grow like the picture despite trying to be obsessively sterile in the SAB.

Is going from LC->grain really this bad as a rule or is it more likely I'm doing something else wrong that might carry over into agar? Is vendor LC bacterial contam -that- prevalent?


Going from LC to grain isn't the issue, using a vendor LC is. If you grow nice clean mycelium in agar then make LC from it, you're all set. But you've got no clue at all how their LC is made or who made it. It can also get contaminated during shipping since it's being exposed to way more contaminants. You don't even know if they used agar and skipped a step to save time where they use dirty spores straight in an LC and from my personal experience this always contaminates in the end.

Others have said it and I'll agree. Buy Petri dishes, put that LC on some agar in one and some of the LC then start cleaning by making transfers.

The only Tek for using dirty spores or LCs is the pf tek and I wouldn't do that either since it's still a risk so I use clean agar in filtered pf Tek jars without a verm layer and that has worked very nicely.

Always listen to the people here telling you to clean things on agar, it's the most crucial step to avoid contamination.

Nope.

Edit: Maybe a too quick answer, look in to beef's punisher tek, I do my own version, let's call it a "punysher tek" :lol: which is pretty much the same, but a little more gentle touch, works good.

My issue with this is that if the trip is too mild, taking more while tripping at all is even worse than taking them to begin with. I struggle to commit, at that point.

I think that is my absolute favorite thing about making gummies. Great taste and following Milkboy's tek I can take what I think I want and just eat another half or whole gummie in 15 to 30 minutes to get where I want to be if I'm not there yet.

Ive had terrible results with making tea and I'm not sure why. I even took the long route and steeped twice, per ReverendMyc's recommendation, and it just didn't cut it. I gotta figure that out and then I'm absolutely down to jump on the gummy train.

Hey rough estimate, how long should a 1:4 ratio shoebox with 1 qt of b+ spawn take to Colonize? I'm hoping if someone tells me to chill TF out I'll stop staring obsessively

My brother...I know. I am somehow fucking up boiling water. Im not proud, but I'm honest.

I did 20ml water per gram of fruit, added to water, brought water to a boil and shut the heat off. Steep 15 min and then repeat the process a 2nd time with fresh water. Added water together and boiled down. Ive tried 3 times and it's bunk each time. Seems hard to believe soft water is the issue, but I'm going to try bottled water just to check that off the list.

20ml of water per gram and a basic steep? nah bruh.

1 cup. is enough for 5g.

so do 1cup. add fruits boil like a witches caldron and reduce that amount to like a shot.

top off with cold water and chug down in one gulp.

report back please:deal:

I also like adding 1/4 tsp of pure citric acid. Too much and it's dreadfully sour, but I I find it's like lemon tek on steroids. Everything hits you fast and hard. You'll be peaking in less than an hour.

It didn't for me, though I still did the punisher tek at some point during those 5 or 6 flushes.
