Hey man. Sorry to hear about the casualties. I tried both with the verm layer and with out. The ones I have without seem to be doing better for me. Also been trying my luck with the WBS tek and I like that much better than the BFR. But good luck with your project and keep everyone updated!!

It's not necessary to keep it in the dark.

To OP: what did you do wrong the first time? what tek did you use the second time? ~Pixie~

both teks are BRF i just think the first  8 jars were 1 pint big and the needle for the syringe was very short so even though i aimed the needle along the glass most the spores landed in the dry layer.

The second set is 10 jars 1/2 pint i still messed up with the inoculation i think a lot of spores landed in the dry verm layer and didn't run down the side of the glass

both are BRF teks, next time I'm gonna make the dry layer a lot higher so the short needle actually lands in some nutritious substrate

That's outdated info.  Light only becomes a pinning trigger after 100% colonization so it is perfectly okay to keep it in normal lighting conditions.

If I have learned anything from this site it's listen to RR teks. He is a god among men around here. Search his info he will not steer you wrong. Take a crack at the jars using micropore tape as a filter instead of the dry verm layer. Keep on rocking man..

I hear you.  Pint jars failed me.  The half pints were all good.  The PF tek is meant for 1/2 pint jars.  If you want to do pints, quarts, do WBS.

Hey man, i used to have trouble like that, it made me real sad. PF tek sometimes works great, other times its crap.


Definately was made for half pints though. The myc. only gets so far before it tends to stall, with any substrate. Flip those suckers over.


I know you've heard it a million times, but buy a pressure cooker. They last forever and are just 35 bucks.


You'll spend far more on Brown Rice Flour and vermiculite in the long run with so many failures than you would just getting the right equipment.


My jars would never grow. Maybe 5% of them did. And most of those contamed.

Since i been working with Rye, zero contams (out of 50+ jars!), and ovefr 90% of them start colonizing. A lot of them stop when ther'yre almost done, but you can just use the colonized parts for a casing.


I inoculated a QUART jar on the first, and it was done on the 4th. I shit you not. Yesterday i couldn't believe it was done.


Plus better yields.

That's pretty slow for 15 days. Do you have enough gas exchange? How many holes are in the lid? Maybe too wet? I dunno, I can't tell from the pic. My last batch of half pints were darn near fully colonized in a week. Birthed in 2. Not bragging, I just think maybe you need to look at your procedure, and see what's going on. I've never tried full pints, I've heard they don't work as well as half pints.

He's very learned in this field of study, but he is not a god!  Please don't cajole his ego, we've got enough people down here on earth trying to play God without adding him to the list!  :frown:
