Mushrooms are just hard to find so I’ve resorted to the closest experience to psilocybin I could find which happens to be readily available and cheaper than buying mushrooms. Spores however are easy to find. And the information you’re sharing with everyone will help me continue my self improvement

    If anyone has time to answer it would help me greatly(: I’d like to know how you determine if you’re going to inoculate your spawn with either liquid culture or agar culture. Also, how long do your liquid jars take to grow out and how do you store them during and after the growing out process? How long do they keep and do you add more liquid broth to the last bit to keep the genetics going or start new with a fresh plate? Thanks 🙏

    • @The_Google_User
      @The_Google_User 3 роки тому

      Use google man. LC is good for innoculant. Agar is good for isolation. It takes a few weeks to fully colonize a LC jar. You can store them in the fridge for 6 months or even up to a decade.

    • @The_Google_User
      @The_Google_User 3 роки тому

      To awnser yout last question there is something referred to as a P factor and it goes up by 1 every time you make a transfer. By P10 the strain breaks down and starts doing poorly lots of mutations etc. So to prevent that you take a new sample from your master and grow it out instead of taking remaining LC and putting it in a new jar.
