Clone my best BRF Jars?

Background:
I have 10 BRF jars going, half Koi and half B+. 3 of the Koi are doing well and almost fully colonized... B+ taking forever.
Is it a good idea to take some Mycelium from the fuly colonised jars of the Koi, just before birthing and inocculate some wheat jars or some more BRF jars?
Will this give me a copy of the fast growing strain?
I just want to save time for the next grow... this is my first, btw.
Cheers

Don't cut into them unless you're 100% sure they're completely colonized.....
but yeah, you could do that. I'd lean towards the grain jars if you're interested in speed, they can be shaken. And the more cake you use, the faster it will colonize. If you were to take maybe a 1/4 cake, chop it up very fine in a glovebox and add it to a qt. jar of wheat, you could shake it up and get very fast colonization time.
I'd sacrifice a whole cake if you do it though, otherwise you're fruiting off a very small mass of mycelium.
Would you be cloning the fastest growing strain? No. You'd be transferring dozens of strains and they'd all be growing at the same time.

Thanks for that.
So am I taking advantage of the fact that the jar I am using is particularly fast growing by doing this? That is, is there an advantage over statring the wheat jar using a spore syringe?

Yes, definately....
You don't have to wait for the spores to germinate and when you shake it up, mycelium will be all over the grain jar. It should be done in a few days in the right conditions...

Not so much that the jar was fast, but that you're transferring live mycelium...

Great!
I'll give it a go... and move to wheat from BRF.
Thanks for your help
