i do not expeect results but not becasue of the print being old. But because you do not have the knowledge to make a lc from a print

exactly, it shold work but he doesnt know that a two year old print will be fine, then I do not think he has the skills to transfer spores to a lc without introducing contams

lol,.. That is what I thought you were getting at. What was your method for transfer SM? Glove box, proper lc prep, tools sterilized? Give us some details.

I'll be on sporemonster101's side. I also was unsure of how long a print would last, but that did not mean I couldn't follow directions on making a LC. I started my first LC 'bout 2 weeks ago and it's doing fine. Once someone understands that "cleanliness is next to godliness" just about any tek can be performed following the directions given by the knowledgeable members within this forum.

So you can tell beyond a shadow of a doubt that your LC is contam free and good resptodd? Not even some of the old timers can tell if an LC is good or not. And by the by I'm not disagreeing to be a pain in the arse, I agree that cleanliness is the most important factor in this hobby. All we can do is bank on luck sometimes y'know? . I have an Ecuadorian LC that I'm hoping is going fine after my first contamed after my own dumb fault. But I have no idea if it's all good and ready to go before I test it. If you've tested your's I retract my statement and offer my humblest apologies.

Well i do understand what i am doing but i was just wondering on a print not your opinion on if i know how to do things or not. I have had no problem with others all i wanted to know was if the age played a factor in it

A print can last two (or more) yrs if given a clean dry environment for storage. Well, I guess I'm really not sure if my LC is cool or not, it looks good. Why ya' tryin' to pop my bubble? I was getting ready to noc' some stuff up tonight, now I'm all nervous.

Just cause be doesnt know how long spores last, doesnt mean he has not ready up on the lc teks.
And just cause he is new doesnt mean he willf fail.
There have been times were new people have went in at the deep end, started lc,s done grains and casings as if they had been doing it for ages.

I would knock up one jar and see if it contams first then do the rest or you can put some on agar and see if its clean before you knock up a bunch of jars. good luck

It's really hard, that is the problem. It is much easier to tell if agar or a jar is contaminated than an LC.
The easiest way is to inoculate a single jar with that LC and see what grows.
