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.

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,

I'm with blutjager. It's honey for the win. Karo never measures up to the awesome power of honey. Anyone who tells you its easier to see contams in karo is full of it. The only way to tell a contaminated lc is to test it out.

Thats why it's just better to do grain to grain transfers.

Or grain lc and transfer it to real lc solution:hehehe:,you know its clean and if you don't shake it enough or have it on a stir plate it will get so damn thick that you don't have a hope in the world of getting any of it in a regular syringe:rockon:

I prefer this (Or even just grain lc alone)to doing grain to grain in a cramped glovebox and have no access to a flowhood at the moment

Easiest LC I ever did was buy a bottle of apple juice. heat up a nail and push it through for a hole shoot it up put a piece of spore tape on it and let it sit for a week you have 16oz of LC!

i get better results generally (cubes, shiitake, oyster) with a karo base, but i add some 1-0-0 nitrogen based plant food to my mix. if you do it right you'll be tops, but I aint tellin my secret. Just get a PPM Meter if you wanna try.

I always get better growth from a Honey LC than a Karo LC also.

I still prefer using isolates over using LC's though.
