Hey all, So i'm doing a LC of my Brazillians when they fruit (a few weeks yet, fully collonised today) I have been reading about LC's for a while now, and have a vote. Which LC do you think is better? and could you please post why and results. Thanks.

I voted for karo...... It gives such a clear solution, which allows you to see everything without wondering "is that sediment or contamination?"

it may be easier to spot contams with karo, but honey is the way to go after your sterile procedures are stronger.

Actually you shouldn't do a LC with honey or karo aka sugar water as RR puts it. Do a grain LC this rules out contams and a long wait. You will have instant myc. ready to be put into syringes. Research it.

90% of the time you can't see contams anyway. The way to find out whether your LC is contaminated it to use it, I say. Karo is okay but it doesn't give me thick growth. I say honey.

If you already do grains, you should do a grain LC like MyPhilosophy said. Otherwise, I chose honey. You don't even need 4%. you can use less and it will grow fine and not be cloudy.

yeah, maple syrup is pretty comparable to honey. and i usually have a better chance of having syrup in the house already - gotta have my pancakes and waffles.

MDK in syrup...end product is dark, and probably only in my experience has a higher rate of stalling

MDK in honey...end product is clear, mycelium resting in clean water
