Is my LC growing normally after 1+ month? * 1
    #29724230 -

Hi all, I started this LC over a month ago using a piece of colonized agar.


The liquid is still mostly clear, but there's a large white mass settled at the bottom.

Does this look like healthy mycelium growth, or is it unusually slow for over a month? Could it be contamination?

Should I leave it longer, swirl it, or test it on agar?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Slow, but crystal clear water and only one mass, so probably clean. More stuff on the bottom might swirl up when/if you stir it, but it's at least not bacterial, it'd be much cloudier.

Probably wrong nutes or nute ratio, what's the sugar and what %? LMEA is cloudier/uglier, but they really seem to love it. Whiter sugars are easier to look at but I've found they're more likely to lead to LC cultures that behave like this.

You could test on agar, it's probably viable. Might be able to transfer it to a different nutrient solution, though no guarantees it'd still be as fast or as vigorous as a new LC that wasn't ageing during this time.

There's a reason why there are no write-ups or TEKs on LC cleanliness. It too hard to discern what is going on in there by eye alone. That is why agar is so awesome. It allows us to see what's going on better.

I've had LCs that I thought were clean but weren't and caused many tears. Why is it important for you to have a LC? Do you require that many mushrooms? It isn't a shortcut but more of a headache if you don't do it right.

Always...
