How to counteract strain degradation? (spores only)
    #5834975 - 07/08/06 12:24 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

The spores from one batch of shrooms can be used for setting up a new batch of shrooms. The spores from this second generation of shrooms also can be used for growing a third batch.

However, I've read that after a repeating this process a number of time the strain will start to degrade. This is why one should save some spore prints from the first batch of shrooms, so that one could begin anew once this degradation becomes a problem. At least so I've read...

Now I was wondering what I should do in order to prevent this degradation? Is there something one could do to at least slow it down?

I've read something about the importance of alternating the materials used in the substrate? Is this right? Is there something else that could be done to keep the strain healthy?

I think you're confusing senescense with strain degradation. They're two totally different phenomena. If you want more information, ask the question in the cultivation forum and I'll help ya out. This forum is reserved for advanced mycology.
