Better colonization
    #4805030 - 10/14/05 08:55 PM (18 years, 5 months ago)

My jars have stopped colonizing and its been almost 3 weeks. They are not even half way done. I have them in a double container incubator with heater at 85. i have a blanket over the jars and the tin foil still over the lid. is that stopping air flow and thats why they are growing so slow? is there still hope for these? The syringe was Northern Lights. Thanks

Let the jars breathe a little. I'm assuming that you are doing PF style jars with a dry top vermiculite layer. Take the foil off, take the tape off of the holes and see what happens. This should speed the growth.

BTW, I hope you bought those "Northern Lights" from The Hawkseye and not the Keeper. :smirk:

iv found out that the jars themselves generate heat...with the heater on 85, the temp on the jars could be well over 90 degrees...you should get a thermoniter and check the temps...

Yes! Get rid of that tinfoil. let them breathe so there can be some gas exchange CO2->out Oxygen->in.

Also, if you notice the bottom not colonizing, I'd recommend flipped the jars over. If the cake is stuck to the bottom give it a few taps to make it sink. This'll help the bottom get colonized quicker.

Edit: This worked for me, my bottom was only about 50% colonized, then stalled for a couple days, so I flipped them over and wah-lah! fully colonized! 4 days later and first pins starting.

I agree that some of the pictures on the tek show tin foil over the lids. I think maybe we should edit those (can mods do this?)
