You don't need an injection port. put two layers of foil on the top of your jar. Lift up the first layer and inject culture or spore into the jar. It's been working fine for me for years.
Any other tips for anewbie? Spores n all in 1 grow bag should be here this week
@@trump45and2zig-zags make a still air box. Its hard to explain, you get a tote and make two holes for your hand and get some pvc pipe or something your hand can fit through. Glue some of those big rubber cleaning glove to the inside and seal everything up. I put glade wrap over the top of mine so I can see better. Put everything you need in, and spray some rubbing alcohol in, then put the wrap over it and let it sit a while.
@@jesush.christ5978 like a sandblaster, I gotcha, thanks. Excited to grow my first batch when I get everything this week
N you pretty much just make a foil pouch with the jar, right?
@@trump45and2zig-zags are you using jars and doing the brown rice flour tek?
Pro tip for anyone doing this for the first time, always run your drill in reverse when drilling plastics to prevent cracking.
@Valerian Roots Yup, if you're drilling plastic, no matter the size of the hole, run the drill in reverse and don't push to hard. Works every time.
My guy you are my hero. I’m starting up my company and trying to get all aspects for sale, including culture lids. Went to mass produce them and about had a stroke from how frustrated I was getting from the lids cracking. You are a god.
Pro tip. Use a one of those triangle stone bits and drill through like you would a step bit. Its just sand through so there is no risk of craking or breaking at all
Or use a drill & brad point bits...
I don't understand this comment. With no special effort, I've never cracked a plastic mason jar by drilling. Frankly, if I was doing a shotload (ahem) of these, I'd probably pop for a drill press and do 10 at a time.
Thank you, as a person who is new to mushroom cultivation, I appreciate how step by step you are with your videos, you're an excellent and thorough teacher.
thank you!
This is probably the best instructional video I've ever seen!!!! Thank you!!
Gracias Ashley. Muy clara y didáctica tu explicación. Me diste mucha información útil!
Wow! Thank you! This was by far the most thorough step by step video I've found so far, and I've watched probably a dozen or more
I never comment but I want to thank you for the way you instruct. There are many out there but I keep coming back to your info because it is basic in the best way possible. Sometimes it gets so confusing. Your instructions are very linear. Thanks.
this is the best tutorial so far! thank you so much!!!
I love the way you hold the jar to get good angles on the pieces, you can see the growth off tot the side of the first little lump of mush
Very informative and well-made video. Top Quality! Thank you.
Where do you store your liquid culture jars, A cool dark place, a Fridge…? Also how long will a jar last before it’s no longer good to use? Btw, Thanks Ashley for another perfectly narrated video!!🫶🏼
If you forgot the aluminum foil also I found a really good way of keeping the coffee filters over the jars by using the original ball rim the The jar came with Nice deep and snug
I bought the HaBeuniver 20mm injection ports, the shorter grey ones that seem to be very common, and they'll fall right out of a 1/2" hole but a 7/16" is a perfect fit. Thought this might save someone buying the wrong bit. A brad point bit works great on the standard metal lids, btw. Great video, Ashley, as always.
The best video on the subject that I've seen. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate it. 🍄❤️🍄
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 🙌
Thank you so much for the footage of the development. I put Lion's mane LC in such a jar to let it grow. After a week I only see a tiny bit. But I asked smart people and they said it is alive. But way slower than the life you showed there. Good luck with your work!!!
Always grateful for the info as well as your optimistic attitude
Thank you for your kind words! :-)
Thank you immensely. I like your video. As a beginner. I have to watch it over and over again.
Thank you !
thanks for the links, makes it so easy, love it
It's great that you put links to everything used. Also nice to see info on your camera kit. Great vid!
Thank you!
Very nice personality , something feels relaxing and refreshing they way she teaches 😊
Great video! Loved it. This was one of the better explained ones.
Glad it was helpful!
10:45 it's also the perfect time to 'noc up a few more jars with that LC so you can save some time on turnaround. Instead of having to go from the tissue biopsy stage next time. Lovely video BTW! Makes me want to get growing again. So much faster than cannabis with zero electricity required and basically one brief moment of light just to start pinning? You can't beat that. I'm just super weary about trying to go myco-psycho again because the last go around I got arrested for unrelated reasons and wasn't able to return home for a few weeks. By that time I had 8 Rubbermaid tubs that were just an orgiastic death feast of aspergillus and black mold plus some contams I'd never even seen before. Ever since then I can't even keep brand new bread in this freaking apartment for 2 days without it molding. I'm terrified if I put new tubs in they'd have the same exact fate.
By doing the tissue biopsy you select the best genetics from the mycelium. A pity to hear what happend. Anyways if you esterilize properly Im sure your not going to have any problem.
You're going to need fungicide spray. Look it up, set up more than one in your case. Perhaps everywhere you put tubs in the past as well as one for the common areas. Set the sprayer up and leave the apartment for the day. Come back and you should be in better shape.
Great video. Thank you! It’s very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
As useful and fun to watch as always, thank you !
Thank you.
easy to follow thank you.
Love your technique and explaining style. Very good
Thank you so much!
Even your voice, so good videos lady !keep them up !
Hi madam Ashley,thanks for your video I have lent especially the way you find messenger and then innoculate to dishes
THANKS ASHLEY! AWESOME VID!
So thorough, thank you
Thank you for the educational content. Love from Canada :)
Thank you!! 😊
Such a complete video thank you so much
Thank you!
Ashley, you are AWESOME!!! I have asked you two questions, and you have answered them both. Unlike Cameron the Grain Man where I bought some grain, he did not answer me on YT or via email. And guess what, he sold me bad grain, did not spawn a bloody thing. So big huge thanks to you, what your are sharing, and doing. What you are sharing is invaluable to all of us Mycology Students.
Thank you. Did Cameron replace your bags? How many were bad?
@@BoomerShroomer I ordered five, the first was bad. I lost one bag, and the spores. I have four left, and there is no way I will try them. That is $50 down the tubes.
@@jameskreiter how do the other ones look? As long as they smell good and you can’t see contamination they should be good to use. I use his bags lot and rarely have issues.
@@jameskreiter I’d be happy to refund you your order from them.
@@BoomerShroomer They all look the same. and smelled just fine. I am afraid to even try them. Moving forward I am doing the whole process in house. At least I only have me to blame.
Bem detalhado. Excelente.
Amazon has those lids in colors, with silicone gaskets. They are sweet. I use 1/4 drill grey injection ports, and 1/2" stick on air exchange glued down with red high temp RTV sealer. They work great!
What’s the lids called?
Is that an injection Port filter? I have a question about injection ports when you tip the jar over doesn't the filter get wet?
So professional!
It was Great, Thanks
Love that you use unbleached filters!
Thank you!
Thanks Ashley!
Thank you!
Great teacher!
so easy everyone can do this :) thanks!
Thanks!
Thank u for your kind of educate culture.
Thank you!
Love it big thanks Lods 🍄🍄👍
This is really good sister. I like all the comments as well. Truly- I've been looking for the right videos.
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Liquid culture is definitely the way to go.
hi , really like your videos
just wondering how and how long can you store your bottle of liquid culture
Great Tips 😊 coffee filter the LC
Informative vid, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
great video great channel thanks
❤❤❤❤❤
Great video!!! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Hello. Excuse me
can you make champignon mushroom seeds ??
i want to learn to make it
Another fantastic video! Very well presented and easy to learn from. I will definitely be giving this a go in the near future.
Awesome, thank you!
Ashley. You’re the best. Love your channel. What gauge and length of syringes are you using. Mine seem small and these look best for liquid culture
@@chuckcharlebois4199 use draw up needles
Thanks Ash ✌️
Great video thank you ❤️
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Knowing you can grow LC from biopsy instead of spores helped me a lot! Thank you.
Hi Ashley great video I’m about to do my first LC project. Please tell me where you got your syringe and looks like a biopsy needle. Thank you
Hi there.. great video, very detailed.. One quick question tho, what needle gauge are you using. I used regular needles and the mycellium doesnt go through the needle, it stuck to the tip. Thank you!!!
love your vids keep it up!!!
Thanks, will do!
@@grandpamosses1224 thank you!
Brilliant video well explained 😁
Glad you liked it!
Any tips for making a flow hood? Where do you get supplies? Thanks!
what temp for LC and dishes? good video, i learned a lot; it gave me confidence, Thank You!
I bought the half inch Forester drill bit and it works great it doesn't leave those nasty burrs
Hey Ashley what gauge needle do you use to extract the LC then of course, inoculate the fresh grain jar please?
I see blunt and Sharpe needles
Thanks.
I love your videos
Good Video
Thanks for your Time Ashley. I am using Raw Honey from a local Bee Farmer, to do LC ..Great Video, and Thanks again for your Help with the Hepa Filter Math!..BtW Did I Mention Theres a Fungus umung us?! Lol! Have a Great Weekend Ashley ! PEACE!
Thank you!
R u using 4% honey and distilled water for ur median?
@@jasonpelton7252 good luck it worked very well 4 me!
Hi,where do you get those extra long needles? What gauge are they? Thanks
I was wondering can you run this unit without the optional stand? Thank you for your time
Really good work i had many troubles with my spawn bags... because it was always too hot, i think ur doint this since a while xD
Nice! Thank-you! In what environment/temperature do you store the bag, please?
I store them in my office. It is about 70-75F in there most of the time.
Is it the brown rice that you inoculated? Thank you for beautiful video again.
Very advanced technique
Thank you!
Hey thanks for the video! I have a question though. Say I buy a oyster mushroom liquid culture online. Can I inject that into my own liquid culture mix and have it duplicate? Thank you!
I’m brand new to this. Built a still air box, I have a colonized spawn bag coming. I’ll be making my own substrate. I have everything for agar plates, slants, and am wondering would it be asinine to also have LC? I’m growing lions mane as my first go.
I took morel culture possibly correctly, the matter that has formed is the same shade of blue Grey and the bases I plucked from the ground. I put the container outside with some holes in it bc it's suppose to be cool and moist today
Where did you store your jars?? Do you incubate at a certain temperature ?? Do you put it in the dark/ Thanks so kindly for any information !! Wonderful Video... :)
Have you used peptone When you make your liquid culture it’s introduced 1 g a very beginning it has amino acids in proteins that will make a forest of mycelium in liquid culture it’s pretty amazing. Thanks for your previous help it worked out really good for me thank you.
No, I haven’t. Thank you!
Here's a question what gauge and length are those needles where do you get those I've never seen those super long needles I've only ever used regular ones or long blunt ones but if you're going through a self healing port it's best to have something sharp or you're not getting through it
Great simple :) What size for the airlock?
If you're using hydrophobic GE filters you don't need to use foil for your lids. Leaves you plenty for spore prints! Mush love Boomer Shroomer!
Cool thanks!
What is hydrophobic GE filters? Is that the filter she puts onto the white lid?
Are these golden teachers?
Do you tighten lids down or tighten down and back off a quarter turn I’ve been having a heck of a time getting no contam in my LC’s
G'day Ashley
Just wondering, would this still work with a dried mushroom?
Is that a 5” blunt tip needle?
How does that needle work in the rubber injection port?
If I am getting contaminated LC jars is it more likely from the fae tape or the gasket material port when I am inoculating and getting the liquid all over the inside port area?
Thank you for your work and experience
Do you use the silicone gaskets that come with the plastic lids? If you use traditional metal lids, do you use them and screw on the lid cap????
Are the lids you made reusable? How do you care for them in between uses? Do you need to clean them or will the sterilization happening when they are used be good enough?
Are they placed in 33-36 f or fridge temp? Are they stored at room temp alongside monotubs? Does putting it in the fridge make it go dormant like it would a grain cake?
You are the shit. Thank you
Thanks for your guidance can we use liquid culture on substrate to grow paddy straw ( Volveriella .Volvecea) mushrooms ?
The liquid culture might take the the paddy straw but I am not 100% sure.
Hi there - I’ve been colonizing my mono time for 14 days. Should I be seeing little pens before I open? It’s completely furry beautiful white across the entire surface. Thank you I love your videos you’re the best on UA-cam. Straightforward to the point
*tub not time and *pins pens - talked text
Start to give it fresh air and fan it for 30 seconds twice a day. That will start pinning.
Hi. Should I change the syringe filter in lid each time for a new culture. Or how long can I reuse it ?
Hi Ashley! Would this kind of LC be the same stuff people sell as spore syrenges for innoculation or are those made differently?
Spore syringes and LC syringes are different. LC inoculates much quicker, also. Spores take longer.
Sorry, saw no one answered you 👍🏻
I have a question! If your pressure cooker only reaches 12 psi will that be good enough for LC? I've heard it's good enough for brf jars
was the LC incubated at all for the 7 day period of growth or just kept at room temp?
is that a 14 gauge sharp needle?
Could you use capri sun drink pouches and put the live culture directly Into it and paper tape it back ?
Is it mandatory to get the chunk while we spawning in the grain or Is just the liquid enough to spawn a grain bag?
