Long Incubation, getting worried/confused
    #10093592 - 04/02/09 11:29 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

I have been incubating 3 JA strain in BRF and Verm jars for almost a month now, keeping the temperatures between 75 and 85 degrees. One jar is about 65% another is about 45% and the last is about 30%. I have been checking on them usually every other day, but sometimes I will check them a few days in a row. My biggest concern is wondering if the length of incubation is causing the mycelium to eat all the nutrients from the cake. Im not sure if i should wait it out, or scrap the incubation and try to case all the mycelium that i have. Does anyone have some advice?

same here, slow jars, yawn,sometimes ya gotta wait 'em out.

try turning 'em upside down, little whack to move the gas about maybe helps. leave em upside down a few days.

so some WBS jars while you wait!

Did you pack the substrate in the jars?  If you compact the mixture of Verm and BRF too much, this can greatly lengthen colonization.  The mycelium needs room to breathe and move, but if its too tight, they move really slow.

The thermostat usually stays at 80 to 83, only on cooler nights does it dip back down under 80. I read in a post that 86 was the ideal mycelium cultivation temperature, i havent been following that to a T or anything but I didnt worry so much when it got close to it. Ill try a bit cooler.

I was careful not to pack the jars before sterilization, but i may have messed up on the verm BRF ratio. I guess i couldnt have too much because i have some colonization.

I guess Ill just have to wait it ou
