Mycelium Growth Rate...Updated now with PINS! (PICS)
#14811098 - 07/22/11 09:55 PM (12 years, 8 months ago) |

I have an overview of this grow in the grow log forum, but I just wanted to share a couple of pics. These jars are 3 days after inoculation and I can't get over the rate the mycelium is growing at. This is my first attempt at bulk, so all I have to compare to is cakes, which always took what seemed like forever to colonize. The strain is B+ and I followed Doc's WBS tek. I'm not certain, but it looks to me like they are well over 20%, so I guess I'm just wondering if I should shake now or wait?

Thats pretty quick for a MS syringe, about right for a LC in most cases.

Hmmmm. Something's not adding up here. Did you inoculate with a spore syringe or did you use a liquid culture?

I have a hard time believing that spores germinated and colonized your entire jar in three days. Those would be some amazing genetics, and probably some kind of world record. Also, the mycelium looks off, can't say for sure that it's cubensis.

if you shot spores into that jar 3 days ago.
then that is probably cobweb mold

also i think you're a troll
isn't it obvious those jars are like 99%?
99% mold however

Now you've got me worried this is too good to be true...lol. I assure you though, these WBS jars were inoculated 4 days ago with a B+ syringe ordered from a vender off this site.(The only one I've ever used and have never had anything but good results) I did order 2 strains, B+ and Cambodian...do you suppose the B+ could have been mislabeled and I actually used the Cam? You said they don't quite look like cubes though, so who knows? Here are some day 4 pics:
This is the worst of the bunch, but still pretty good for 4 days I think:

Did you use a lot of spore solution in the jars? How did you inoculate?

No way that's mushroom mycelium after 3 days. At least not the kind you want. Cam vs. B+ doesn't matter. No cubensis looks like that in 3 days unless you did a grain to grain transfer with lots of colonized grain. Those pictures are before shaking, right?
How did you inoculate? Typically best practices suggest squirting a little solution on all 4 sides, maybe a little on top. You should only be seeing growth coming from where you inoculated. Those pictures show fuzzy growth all over.

I inserted the syringe and injected 2cc's straight in the center of each jar. When I had injected them all, I shook them well...that's it.

Yes, none of these jars have been shaken since inoculation.

What is your grain prep procedure?

I followed Doc's WBS tek to a tee. Obviously I am still a noob when it comes to this stuff, but it doesn't look like any of the cobweb pics I've seen using the search. You guys are the experts though, so I trust your judgment.
