My LC!

Im sure very few will care but ive been rather unsuccessful at my cultivation attempts. I kind of put everything on the backburner and stopped trying to cultivate. However i was messing around the other day and decided to try to make an LC. I used this tek http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5238137/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1/nt/14
and within 2-3 days im already starting to see some strands of myc form. This is my first actual success in anything cultivation related so im pretty damn excited. The myc in there now isnt really worth photographing but if anyone cares to see it in a day or two i will surely post some pics. strand is OI by the way
-------------------- I love the feeling when it falls apart. Im slow to finish but im quick to start.

Ok now what seems to have been mycelium strands has really just turned into cloudier water.


The LC was originally very clear, it just looked like clean water in a glass. However after about 4 days it has turned very cloudy and now there are small bubbles rising from the bottom and little clumps of spores are starting to suspend in the middle of the LC. Is this pretty much a wasted attempt or is it too early to tell?

yup...
I take lots of precautions when making LC.
I even pressure cook the jars empty before filling them with LC solution and pressure cooking them again.
bacteria is sneaky, especially in LC's.
I would strongly suggest testing each LC on agar before using it.
or if you have a nice microscope, you could just look for the bacterial rods. that would save time, supplies and money.

Yeah I boiled them in water for 20 minutes and then filled them and then boiled again for 20 minutes. Oh well, try try try again

I'm guessing your boiling idea won't work as well.
I'd go with pressure cooking exclusively for LC.

LC + PC = hot, buttery sex.
Boiling isn't gonna cut it, my friend. PC's are cheap; pick one up now. It'll turn your numerous "cultivation attempts" into cultiv-OMG LOOK AT THE COLORS!
