First time growing. Using PF tek with EQ+ spores

Im a noob here but Im giving this the best Ive got.I have read many growing guides and have decided to try pf tek using brown rice flour and verm. I made a big mistake and injected my first spores way too soon after sterilizing the substrate. All but one jar show no signs of growth. Second attempt was with smaller 1/2 pint jars and showing growth in 2 days. here are pics of day 3 [image align=left][/image][image][/image][image align=left][/image]
Only growth is near top of jar. My geuss is the less moisture at the top. Does anyone suggest lossening the lids???

Also the verm. I used in my first two sets was weird. It had twigs and leafs in it so I'm inoculating 10 more half pint jars tonight with new cleaner verm.

the growth is near the top because that's where your spore solution landed.
also vermiculite is a mineral. why are there sticks and leaves in your vermiculite?

Ya I didn't add anything to the verm. but just for a heads up it's brandname is Sta Green. I Got it from Lowes. I just picked up a bag of some verm from a local shop that looks better. I will update with new photos in a day or two. So far I have growth in 11/14 jars. One quick question. Moisture on the sides of the jars is ok isn't it. Just as long a liquid does not settle in the bottom right??

moisture is fine on the side of your jars. and dont loosen your lids.
also if you have the top protective verm layer you can take that foil off.

Cool stuff!
I would suggest removing the aluminum foil from the jars during colonization, to ensure good gas exchange.
Good luck with the grow

Thanks for the tips. I'm glad to hear that my first ever inoculations are looking good. I will make sure to remove the foil.

1. Take off the aluminum foil it will stall. heh 2. Leave the holes opened. The dry barrier of vermiculite is there to stop contaminants from arrising but I would still use 3m micro pore tape.
What temp are you incubating at?

Thanks everyone. Temps have stayed at about 80-83 F. reaching a low of 75 at night. I have removed all the foil and tape. Where can I get micro pore tape?? I'm a little concerned about the low temps at night but it seems to be doing ok so far.

not sure about the temp but you can find the tape at a drug store or maybe even walmart. just look around the first aid stuff you should find it.

OK I love posting pics and everyday I see these suckers getting whiter and whiter lol these guys in the middle are day 5 after inoculation.[image][/image]
This is our setup so far. the little guys on the right are at day 2 after innoc. with new verm. no growth yet. The strange things are the big ones on the left.
[image][/image]
They are 8 days after innoc. but I was certain I didn't wait long enough to inject the spores after sterilizing them. They were still warm to the touch but I spotted growth (I think) on all four today. Check it out and tell me what you think. sorry for the flash on the jar.

OK here is a pic of one of the big ones. I'm pretty sure it is mycelium but it seems to be growing a little differently.

Oh ya after reading about PF classic strain I've decided to try those out too. Next week I should get the spores. I am very experienced with LSD and would like to achieve a very intense buzz off my shroomies. Your thoughts on a newbie trying to grow the PF strains anyone???
