LC Question
    #5269510 - 02/06/06 01:41 PM (18 years, 13 days ago)

Hi,

I've just inoculated my first LC, just wondering roughly how much faster a colonization with LC inoculation is compared with a spore syringe inoculation using PF TEK jars.

thanks

Alex

A couple of days. When inoculating with spores, you have to wait for the spores to germinate, then for the myc to colonize the jar. When you inoculate with LC, you skip germination and start colonizing virtually immediately. Under identical incubation conditions, the time difference would be noticeable, but again, only a couple of days.

Personally I think the most important benefit of LC isn't the shorter colonization time, but rather the limitless supply of mycelium that can be used to knock up jars. Saves tons of money that would otherwise be spent on spore syringes.

Using a live culture will speed colonization by 3-5 days or more because you are not waiting for spores to germinate. The spore germination has already taken place in the liquid medium. When you look at the picture as a whole, you still have to wait for spore germination though.
