Karo solution
    #4790717 -

I used 1 table spoon in stead of 1 teaspoon which is what the recipy asked for. The solution is a little yellow, would that caues any problems any of you can think of? (other than it being a little harder to see contan mabey,evan though it is crystal clear.)

i have already inoculated and the mycelium is growing and as far as i can tell its all going good, however i can see some black in a couple but i ams pretty sure it is the spores.


ty for any help or suggestions

ive read that if you put to much kayro (sugar) into your LC it will be to much for your LC to handle.. gess thats not true since u have mycilum growing.. unless it stalls here soon.

and its yellow cuz you PC it to long, the sugars started to carmelize. the first 3 times i tried making LC i alwasy over PC them and they got a yellow/golden tint to them and mycilum still grew..

i would say the black is just spores, that is if its just specks.. but if the mycilum turns black.. then i would worry.

how long have they been in the incubator?

They been in the incubater for 4 days and it is judt specks and the mycelium is very fluffy but it does seem like it's stalling a bit so we'll se tomarrow, but say a little yellow isn't nessacarilly bad, thats good.

Jarrod,

please ask questions in your own thread...

this is called hi-jacking someone elses thread.

---

I'll answer you this time...

Yes its possible to do...but it can be very prone to contams.

I have had a few successes with it...and Blue Helix has too.

I'm still experimenting with it.

i tried cakes 2 times.. then i whent to grain.. IMO cakes are more work than there worth.. mabye becuase i didnt work with them long enough to figure them out, but ill tell ya grain is 10000% easier than cakes!! but thats just :2cents: just read up on the diff casing tec's and find one you like and go with it man.  i use the 50/50+ and i like it, but i havent tried any others so i cant realy compare.  gl man!!

I am going wit the 60/40 coco casing.

i hope contam won't be a prob, i'm going to use a glove box so i think it will be fine. i'm thinking about doing sot of a "karo" to grain transfer, Ihav'n seen anything about it hear or anywhere els but i don't se y it wouldn't work. the hole idea is to cut down on surfaces and posible contam by taking the middlem man (the syringe) out.

What you think about that?

p.s willmyfingerdo i will be giving you a good rating for your help and advise TY.

what do you mean your gonna pour the LC into your grain?? if that is the case, i would say that wouldnt be a good idea, it would work but you would throw your moisture content all off and your grain would rot. i dont have a glovebox or flow hood and ive only had contams 2 times, 1 due to a bad LC. so i would just go with the syringe IMO.

No not pour in to it,take like a spoon full(smallish spoon) of myc and drop it in to the birdseed.

i might still go with the syringe but it seems like a syringe would be verp prone to contam because it touches so many things and has so many parts and crevesses. Where as with a spoon you can wipe it with alcohol
(thouroughly of course).

What you think?

i would just go with a syringe.  a syringe you can sterilize more than a spoon and it would be less messy. just put a pot of water on to boil adn throw your syringe (taken apart) into it and let it boil for like 10 min.  then get some tongs or somethign like that and pull out all 3 peices of your syringe and put it toghether.  then suck up a syringe full of the boiling water and squirt it out.  then fill it up agin and this time leave the water in it and place the syringe into a ziplock baggie (i wipe mine down with alchol first) and place in fridge.  then when your ready to use it squirt the water out of the syringe and flame sterilize the needle till redhot with a lighter, wipe with alchol then use.  i gess now that i wrote it out, it seems like alot.. but its not realy.  and with a syringe you can get more mycilum in cuz you can put the needle were the mycilum is and just suck it up, but with the spoon you have to fish around for it and try to get the spoon out of the jar without loosing the mycilum.. but thats just :2cents: the spoon would work probly.. but i think syringe would be easier.
