G2G transfers...an endless cycle?
    #3490471 - 12/13/04 10:07 AM (19 years, 3 months ago)

I was wondering...since myc is a mold and mold spreads, could one theoreticly just use a sample of myc tissue from fruiting substrate to inoculate compost/grain/straw? If so, is there a limit to this cycle?

Thanks...

Yes there is a limit to how many times one should perform a g2g culture . It is said and practiced that one should not go beyond a third generation of g2g . The reason is the genetics of the mush starts to degrade . But depending on how many jars , bags , etc one starts with , an unlimited supply could be exponetially produced . 1 Jar can turn into 4 , those 4 can become 16 and so on and so fourth . But eventually one must go back to the start to keep the genetics in control .
Hope this helps
Good Luck

actually, there is, as far as i know, degenereation effects starting from generation 3 onwards.

Why are they called generations? Doesn't the word generation more appropriately describe the offspring of the mushroom (cloning the tissue of a mushroom that was propogated via a clone)?

The myc is just growing and spreading during G2G. How does one define along the myc's growth process what is a generation? Is there a volumetric quantity that is typical?

Say you get a 10 gallon master jar. Then you G2G 10% to a half pint jar. Then this half pint jar 10% to another one, and so on. Weren't there more generations and cell replications in the single 10 gallon culture than there were in the subsequent number of G2G's following (permitted it didn't go beyond 10 gal)?

Or does a 100% colonized substrate like complete its growth somehow and reopens for cloning which is any further growth once the myc network reaches 100% and finishes? Seems farfetched, I just don't understand all of this.

Good thoughts spliff...

Now to add to it, what if you didn't wait for 100% colonization, but just kept it's expansion process going by subtracting culter and possibly adding fresh sterilized substrate? This way your 10gal container never looses more than like %25 of it's original "generation"...?

Yeah, spliff, I see what you mean and was just thinkin the same thing in class today. How many jars can you G2G with a quart:
say 1 qt goes to 20 then with each of those 20 you G2G 20 more so now you have 400 qt and each of those 400 G2G 20 more...and on and on exponentially

I don't see how generations comes in to play without birthing... but I am new to all this... hmmmm

I read this post again and realized I kinda repeated everyone else. whoops, but I wanted to put this back to the top, I'm very curious

IMHO, MASTER GRAIN JAR, is from spores. Generation (G) 1, is G2G from Master Jar. G2 is G2G from G1, G3 is G2G from G2, so on & so forth.

IMHO, Agar MASTER PLATE is from spores (Or, tissue = clone). Agar wedge or slurry transfer to grain spawn is G1. G2G from that is G2, so on & so forth.

Tissue (clone) to agar plate is Master Plate. Agar wedge slurry out of Master Plate into grain jar is G1. A week later, agar wedge slurry from same Master Plate is still G1.

Consider this. G2G is sort of like a pregnancy. The myc is colonizing, RIGHT.

If you kept a embryo in a womb, then when it was near birth, transferred it to a another womb, so on & so forth, multiples of times.

DO YOU THINK THE BABY WOULD BE NORMAL, when it is born?

I don?t think so. I don?t G2G past G3. Otherwise, defects begin to show up.

I know, because starting out, I used to stretch G2G a lot further.

Below is example of about G7. Notice the GNARLY fruits.

Right on agar, that was a very helpful!! I love when people answer from personal experience instead of just something they read.

Can you explain exactly why that is? and has anyone tested it or has tried doing G2G for more than 3 maybe 10 generations? what are the outcomes? lower yields? weaker mushrooms?

Refer to agar’s whole post about what happens if you go more generations.
