Extremely slow LC growth. What's going on?
    #6137727 - 10/05/06 08:57 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Three LCs were made about 6 days ago. Three pint jars filled with 200 mL of culture. Since then, there has been minimal improvement in conditions of about 80-84 degrees (without means of a proper incubator, unfortunately). One of the jars seem to be not colonizing at all, but when it is agitated, there is a "smokey" substance that swirls at the bottom of the jar. The other two contain what seems to be like mycelial strands, but it is a very very small amount. I could probably count the number of small strands in each jar within a minute or two.

What would this slow growth be attributed to? My guess is either too much honey was put, or the jars may not be getting enough air exchange. Tyvek is placed under the jar lid, two holes in the lid. inoculation was done via one of those holes, and micropore tape (surgical tape to be precise) is covering each of the holes. Is there any way to fix the air exchange or promote growth in any way?

your air exchange is fine if you injected with a multispore syringe and not another lc give it more time...

Like unkempt said, gas exchange should be fine. Based on the limited information that you gave, I would assume your ratio of honey to water not to be optimal. I use 4g's of Karo for every 100ml of water, and it works great. I would assume the measurement for honey to be similar.
