IMHO, The ritual of the preparation is both meditative AND functional. So I think you should do whatever makes you feel good, and works for the end goal! With that in mind, and if you're not getting contamination, keep doing what you're doing. Be well.
Always take extra precautions, never get lazy and start slackin or you'll lose everything. It happened to me a few years ago because I got to comfortable and started cuttin steps and BAM all my product was contaminated 😢
thats easy TONS of recipes on youtube and the net! i just buy mine off etsy 8$ for a 1.5 cups or 16 oz gathering up supplies would cost you that but could also make a few jars with the stuff.
one grain you missed whole oats tractor supply 50lb bag 20$ makes TONS of jars. also you don't need anything but the grain and a PC you don't have to soak or simmer 30 min on a boil take off rest on a screen or something to dry and can up and pc 90 min boom grain jars!
No matter how many times I try to make grainspawn, my mycelium refuses to colonize it. It will grow some gummy dense stuff between a few grains and thats it.
@@wianvonschmidt I bought the LC from CubecultureUSA and tested them. Seemed to be clean. This has happened with multiple syringes of LC and agar wedges. Every jar, every time.
Excellent video - very clear. Easy to follow and concise. The best video I have seen to help me start my growing journey. Many thanks
Great production values man. Quick question , once the jars with grain are ready to go into PC for sterilization - are the lids on tight or lose.?
They can be tight because they have the filter for air exchange.
Why are you cleaning the jars when you’re about to sterilize them? Seems a bit redundant
That's a trauma response to previous contamination events! 😅
@@omarlittle5802should I just do 1 or the other

in Germany and Switzerland, we say: Doppelt hält besser.
That means as much as: Double is better, and means better do double the work. 🙏🏻
Great if you can make a video how to prepare lc please

I like that

so if you're using instant pot, then you should cook it for 120 minutes?

Are you perhaps using a lc you have made de yourself, or are you buying from a reputable vendor each time, may it be syringes or kits?

Is there a way to do this without a pressure cooker? Can I boil the jars for longer?
Nope the temp will only be at 212 you need it at 250 steam under pressure reaches that
Why aren't you using untapered jars so you can pop the substrate out in a terrarium once the mycelium covers it?
