    Funny story...been watching your videos and ordered all the stuff in this one so that I can start growing my own liquid culture. I just went on etsy and randomly selected a liquid culture syringe to get me started. I didn't even look at who the seller was until I had sent the payment. Turns out it was you XD
  • I used this exact recipe. Used 5ML of a LC into 600ml and its been 6 days i can not beleive how muxh the myc has grown! It is blowing my mind
  • @Tephomab
    I stuck spores from a MSS into coconut water as an experiment and it started growing myc after 4 days.

    I've been using this recipe for a out 6 months now, i use a little more peptone and malt extract but it looked like we get the same kind of results, as soon as you showed the ingredients I got excited, this is by far the best LC recipe I've used
  • @tonybahama6817
    I use this same recipe…it’s the bomb. One gram of each to 600ml water 👍🏼

    I love how this comment section is basically a huge list of FAQs that are being answered! Keep it up, man. You've earned another subscriber.

    Thanks for the easiest to follow video on liquid culture on youtube. Everyone else makes it super difficult. Or maybe I'm just not a smart fella?! 🤷 lol 😆
  • @Lulzswag
    I've been using that same recipe for a couple of years now. It's the best imo. That peptone really makes the mycelium POP.
  • @dtrotteryt
    Your results are fantastic looking, and I LOVE the simplicity of your recipe. Most I have read and tried are far overly complicated in comparison. I can't wait to try this out! Cheers!!

    After trying the original recipe with a 64th of peptone and LME and karo I just put together another 7 quarts of the suggested recipe for more nutrition. The first way shown in this video worked very well. I simply want growth for another round as fast as i can get it and plenty of nutrition to fill the jar with mycelium. The suggested recipe was 1G peptone, 1G LME and half tbsp of honey or corn syrup. I mixed the first quart that way and while stirring it i noticed it was definitely not completely clear. i lowered the LME to between.5 and .75 if a gram, not measuring it exactly just leaving the 1\4 teaspoon less than full and that solved the problem if the slight haze. Absolutely clear LC with that recipe. 1G peptone which is 1\4 teaspoon, .5 to .75G LME, light malt extract and half tbsp 7ml of Karo. I used karo only because that is what was there and honey seems to caramelize when i use it at 4% I have not tried it at lower concentrations, it might be perfectly fine. I wanted to list my findings for others who are trying to get completely clear LC but still wanting high nutrition. Thanks a million for all your help, especially the trick with adding 2 inches of water covering the jars in the bottom of the all American pressure cooker so I don't cause a haze after sterilization. It worked perfectly. I ran it between 12 and 13 psi after getting it to that pressure for 35 to 40 minutes and immediately vented. Perfect results. Thank you very much!

  • @juneconnor8127
    I have been looking and looking for a product to buy or recipe for Water Clear Liquid Culture, not yellow... Its just a preference !! So Thank You !! This is the only one I found so far !!
  • @agnesm.w.5937
    Spore n' Sprout is a great place to learn about fungi growing!🙂
  • @MrYusha
    LME is the best IMO! Clear and fast growth!
  • @earlsark
    The video is very easy to follow... thank you bro, from your guidance I made it. As a result, I get mycelium that floats lightly, so clean and smooth like a cloud in a solution that remains clear until the end of the process. Unfortunately I don't understand how to share with friends here. once again, I thank you very much..
  • I got your spores in the mail super fast, thanks. I'm about to make these mixes today, and eventually use them to mass produce shrooms in my 2400sqft shop. Let's goooooo
  • @Biokemist-o3k
    I love your videos my friend!!!Have you tried sparging with filtered air?
  • @Slothen
    i love the clearness and very fast growth of this recipe. thank you! however, most of my strains now start to make significant rafts. i first thought it was contam, but surely they are not all suddenly contaminated. it gathers up in big floaters on top that is very hard to break. have you experienced the same?
