Failed LC jar
    #4423635 - 07/19/05 01:13 PM (18 years, 8 months ago)

Yup I inoculated with my semi-colonized 45 day old LC jar (which had been stalled for a couple of weeks, but I thought what the hell), and I have zero growth in 4 days, while the others I did from spores are already showing good growth in the 4 days.

Since LC is supposed to shave time off of germination time and what not, (and therefore should have been the first to germinate) I assumed my LC jar was dead and chucked it.

Possible reasons include that I placed a nickel in the jar instead of the recommended BB, and possibly it fouled the karo-water. It looks oxidized and is a gray color now.

Could that be it, or should I look elsewhere for the reason?

man i feel you, my LC's have been doing pretty shitty. My B+ seems to have stopped growing and my TC and GT seem to be doing not much either. I dunno, but the nickel may have had something to do with it esp if you didnt PC it.

Well, I did PC it. For 10 or 15 minutes, I forget. Oh well, I'll try that again.. This time with a damn BB or a piece of broken glass. Something non-reactive.

It was a 2 TBS karo, 1/2 pint water, PC'd for 10 or 15 min, then in a glove box the water was poured into a 100% colonized WBS jar (as much as would fit), top replaced then shaken, then re-opened and poured back into the original LC jar.

I used the same tyvek/polyfill lid style jar as I usually use for WBS. The thing actually took off for a while, and there was growth a bit less than the size of a golfball or so in it. Then the mycelium started looking darker than I thought it should look, and it simultaneously stalled a couple weeks ago.

I took a chance on it and ended up dumping a case of jars in the toilet. lol

Luckily I didn't trust that jar and so I did some with spores too.

too much karo...IMHO

try using...

4cc of Karo
96cc of water
1 glass marble

***double up the recipy for larger jars***

pc for 20 minutes at 15 psi.

cool it down.

inject 1 to 2 cc of a spore syringe...and stirr it up.

put into your incubator at 81 degrees F.

comes out looking like....

Another thing, my jar was the color of urine even though I used light syrup. I imagine it carmelized??

Your jar looks clear. Did it look yellowish before it colonized?

How do you prevent that? Was it because I used too much Karo?

could be several reasons.

too much karo...

or you didn't mix up the karo and water good enough before pc'ing.

---

Next time use warm water with the karo.

and stirr it up good in the jar...before pc'ing it.

thats what I do.

I always have trouble with spore syringes stalling... However, since I switched to breaking off a small part of a cake and putting it in the LC mix, I have had great results within 3 days. Just make sure you are in a clean place when you do it... much better than waiting for spores to do their thing.

The bits of cake could possibly clog the syringe needle though, right?
