:whathesaid:




LC is easier to prepare and less intimidating. Its no quicker, but I never did test my LC before using it - using it was my test.

Only reason agar work is intimidating likely is because a lot of the old hands were complete pussys about it for the longest time. Nothing we do in the entirety of shroom cultivation is hard. Children can do it, especially agar and pouring plates. LC sure a bit easier than pouring plates but both are easier than doing laundry.

If noobs are intimidated by agar and school failed to teach them the importance of looking for relevant, time tested, community supported information when researching then Idk they'll figure it out. They probably need to learn the hard way anyway

When i was a noob, LC worked out really well for me. That's why i kept using it.

If You look back At every post, i still agree agar is a better choice...

LC just works really well too. The proof is in the outcome. I still don't get why this upsets you guys so much? :shrug:

When i wrote this, no one was using gladware containers for agar. You had to get glass petri's, agar powder and a flow hood or SAB.

Everyone has a jar and some honey lying around...

I used this because I didn't have a way to buy agar or a PC. I had a salsa jar and honey though. It was my first bulk try and kicked ass. Of course agar is better (duh) but LC's aren't obsolete like some people here think.

You don't need a PC for agar or LC. But you do need a FH or SAB for either, even with SHIPs its a bad idea to open air

I had great success in the past too, I wondered if all this talk of dirty spores was new vendors who supposedly buy off random people. I did have contams with an ex-sponsors ones, but have never had issues with 2 other sponsors, one now gone.

Some interesting comments from Ryche Hawk in this thread I started recently. Not sure if I can quote directly in mush cult so heres the link.

You can grow with CFU's present. In fact to totally sterilize grain is rather impractical for the home hobbiest. In the end it's about populations. The more you start out with, the greater the chance for a bloom that overruns the colony or inhibits it.

With a syringe that had rather low CFU's it's very likely that one could put it right to liquid media and pull off a grow. I imagine that the amount of bacteria might not put the colony at risk of succumbing to mold during spawning. But it still hurts the BE in the end. So why not limit them CFU's as much as possible.

LC for me is not about stretching spores. It's about managing to inoculate large quantities of spawn. If I wanted to stretch a spore syringe I would shoot about 5cc of it into a half gallon of sterilized water. When I use LC it's because I want to do a good sized grow. I am probably wanting to be assured of stellar results which means using a familiar culture that I know is going to produce a big potent yield. Spores are a crap shoot, and contamination aside, I don't want to get a big bunk grow either. I want 200% BE and potent as fuck fruits.

I am certainly not an LC hater. I just feel that it's a powerful tool best wielded with precision.

The good thing about an LC jar is that you can loosen the lid, but leave it on - then just lift it a tiny crack to introduce a knife tip worth of spores from a spore print, in effect making the LC a mini SAB.

I never used a SAB and never had any dramas.

There are less vectors for contamination innoculating a LC than making a spore syringe, so it's a great option for going from print to media, without making syringes, and getting large amounts of innoculant quickly if all goes well.

Agar is still better for seeing contaminants in though. :smile:

i think what people are trying to say is that it's just more of a gamble, since it's hard to ensure a print is clean. especially from some vendor's spore syringes, which is what most noobs have. so taking the extra step to do agar first would help to ensure a clean culture, before potentially ruining a lot of jars, and discouraging someone.

EDIT - also since most noobs probably wont have the best sterile technique.






Almost all my prints came from members here, .




has the circle completed yet? are you now one of the members who has prints available?

You should take a look at the marketplace if you want to trade spores.

Well, at least his mold farm could have made for a good defense. He could tell the judge he was looking for a good mold to make blue cheese.

most people never see jail time for mushrooms unless they're distributing bags of actual mushrooms, especially to kids.

depends on which part of the states you live in, more rural chances are more fucked though.

judging by that guys demeanor and posts he probably did himself no favors with the law though so...
