Clone with LC... take a piece of mushroom and stick it in LC. You'll get lots of inoculant that colonizes quicker than multispore, but better yet, you only get substrains that fruit for sure. Unlike with multispore there won't be substrains that do nothing and just mooch off your substrate...

Hmm, I might just have to do that. Now I've heard something about cloning only working for so many generations. Like every few generations you need to start over with a spore print or something like that... any truth to that?

well if you make a few master clone lc's, you can then take a few cc's of the master and start a new lc to work from, and youll have that working clone lc for quite some time. If you ever get yourself a PC, you can make a small grain jar, noc it up let it get nice and colonized and store that in the fridge for years. RR has said he has done that and used grains that were several years old like they were new. To add to this, you only need a grain or two from that jar and you can g2g and basically but unlimited in you possibility! good on you for doing this project

Picked the biggest bastard today. It was pushing the whole cake over by pressing up against the side of the container. The veil was just starting to tear on it's own. I cut the cap off and put it in some foil to get a spore print and prepped a jar with a karo/water solution for a myc syringe. I pulled the stem in half to expose the meat inside, then used tweezers to pull out a few strands, I dropped those strands into the karo/h2o mix. I bought some syringes today from the pharmacy so I should be set to go in a few days when the mycellium has grown more inside the jar.
Should I be picking all of the mushrooms at once, or just as they mature? The big one was almost open when I picked it and the others are at least two days behind in growth compared to the big one. Oh, and the size of the mushroom was a little disappointing... but then again I've been stressing the mycellium and the cake from conception to birth to harvest...

that should be rated x. for x-treme!!!! yah!!!! go penis, go penis, go.
now stick it in your mouth and watch it grow. the added humidity and nutriiets from stank breath, will help it grow.

^haha
hey when u say u bought some syringes today from the pharmacy.. u dont mean the 1ml/cc insulin ones do ya? where i live these are the only type that u can but from a pharmacy. those ones arent suitable, because they are too small, and the needle is too small to be flame steralized, and too small to suck up spores or myc.
most people harvest all the shrooms at once and then dunk. u can have one continual harvest but your yields will be tiny due to very little water in the cake.

The syringes I bought were 3ml syringes, I used one tonight to measure out the karo... didn't work well. The karo was so thick it took forever to pull it into the syringe. I ended up taking off the needle and sucking it in through the opening. Is there another kind of syringe I should be using? Where would I find such a syringe?
Also, I'm thinking I should harvest the rest of these shrooms once the other two bigguns get to harvest size. Then I'll dunk tek the cake after I pull off all the aborts and tiny guys.
I can't believe how much these things blue. It's amazing how easily damaged they are. It's been about two months since I last tripped and I'd forgotten what cubes smelled and tasted like.
I've already started drying the stem of the shroom I picked, but next time I harvest I'll start weighing out my crops so I know how I'm doing. The important thing is I've successfully harvested a mushroom that was spawned from some spores off an old baggie of dried shrooms.
This journey was long and hard (that's what she said) and I learned a whole lot along the way. Thank you all for your helpful advice and support in my endeavor! (I'll post pics of my harvest once the rest of these guys mature)

What gauge needles did you get? You want a low number - most common is 16-18g. If you got 3cc needles, I bet they're 22-23g. You can order 10cc 18g syringes on this website right here, 100 for $25.

It hasn't turned green so far and it's fully colonized now. What makes you think it'll contam later?

Most grows will end in green. Alot of people just dont let it get to that stage.

Funny you should mention green. At several points in the growth period (after birthing) I've thought I've seen green. The color blue that this thing bruises is awfully close to being green though and I was just mistaking bruising for contamination. I've got to go to work now, but I'll post pics tonight. This morning's growth change was huge. The one at the bottom is as thick as my thumb and the head is even fatter, it's a little stubby, but it's not the length... it's the girth... right?

Here's the fatty and a skinny one I picked. I'm picking them all now and dunking the cake for the next flush.
The skinny one weighed in at 2 grams fresh.

Some REALLY good tips from you guys. I just weighed the big guy in at 10.2 grams. I've got no idea if that's huge or not, but in my book it's big enough! Now if I can just get this next batch to throw out five or six at 10 grams fresh I'll be really psyched!
I think all together I've harvested around 20 grams fresh from this flush.

so I just harvested my second flush. not a huge one, I noticed some green bubbles growing out of the cake that were DEFINITELY not the same as the bluing I've noticed before. I cut out the green two days ago and just this morning I noticed it started growing back so I harvested the flush and threw out the cake. Now I've got a nice clean spore print for my next grow so I can do it right. I checked on my myc culture and it looks like I've got some cobweb mold growing inside also, (grey fuzzy blob), so I'm throwing that out too. Hopefully my sporeprint is contam free. I haven't been posting much lately cause of work. My next attempt might have to wait a bit, but thanks everyone for the help and advice on my first successful grow!

toss it. there is really no effective way of battling the trich. hopefully your spore print is fine
