Nutrient Density Identification and how it affects grow strategy

Here sharing some of Today’s dishes, With our sorghum based recipes. (But this applies to every single nutrient)
After much internal experimenting and tweaking around, it really highlights the need the have at least 2 agar recipes in everyone’s main arsenal.
At least one lower nutrient and one higher nutrient (i would at least have them 30-40% nutrient level difference between them to really be able to tell which way is leaning after a few transfers.
I will be posting some pics this week and many will be shocked on the diff it makes when using the correct nutrient density range vs using an unoptimal nutrient density range, even in the agar stage.
I want to be able to provide each customer with as much information as possible about each culture, including disclosing its nutrient profile density (low or high), So that all of you have a base knowledge on what type of agar recipe would be best to use for them but ultimately, to increase each person chance at an excellent grow once they know the nutrient affliction of a culture.
Since mycelium on agar or on sub, are the same exact mycelium , with same nutrient affliction, just a diff form, then we can use that information to prepare your grow strategy.
For example, once a culture is worked and identified as high nutrient affliction, i would do something closer to 1:1 ratio to maintain a heavy nutrient environment (same environment we had it on agar and that the culture preferred)
If it had a lower nutrient affliction, i would use a higher sub ratio to maintain that same Low nutrient environment that it thrives on.
And I'm not saying that you cant grow mushrooms disregarding this criteria, obviously. But that if you want optimized flushes, know this is a really important factor. I'm a firm a believer that with agar you gather all the info and bits of a culture that you need to be more prepared for next grow stages.
Soon i will be running more side v side grows with everything identical besides utilizing the correct nutrient density and also an unoptimal nutrient density grow so you guys can see the big difference it makes.
Mush love!
