so this is my first go at this, its been a little over a week and so far i haven't seen much, just some little white dots, but they don't really look fuzzy, is this cuz of too much water?  or maybe its because my apt is only about 70 degrees, i was using a space heater but someone said that doesn't really matter, i know i should just be patient, but i just wanna make sure im doing this right.






sorry for bad pics, i don't have a good camera!

I agree totally.

Cant see shit in those pics, blury as hell.

Keep an eye on those, myc starting out looks like smokey-white little splotches. If you have solid white tiny dots, you may very well have a yeast contam. I could tell you for sure with a better pic, macro mode?

Dude, let's start with the basics. What did you noc up in those pics? Did you PC everything that you where suppose to? Where are you keeping the jars that are incubating? What are you using to spawn to?

Break it down for us to understand what method you used.

I used creeper strand from spores101.com.  They are just some drinking glasses, i couldn't find any 1/2 pint jars or mason jars in general, apparenlty its easier to find in fall.  I didn't pressure cooked, but i boiled in a pot for an hour an a half and let it cool over night then did the inoculation the next morning.  The jars are just in a shoe box in my closet on the stop shelf, im pretty poor right now so im doing everythign as basic as possible.  i know its only been a week, i wanted to see if that white stuff was a contaminate but it didn't really smell bad or anything, and it seems to be getting more and more covered and the most populated spots are those near the inoculation points, im just confussed why it isn't all in one concentrated area like most of the pics i have seen.  The jars possibly got some water in them when they were boiling at first the waters was boiling up too high so i turned it down and it was fine for the rest of the experience. the spots keep getting whiter and bigger.

do you have the inoculation holes exposed? My jars took about a month to start showing signs of growth possibly because I kept the lids with the holes covered tight with foil and not allowing for gas exchange.

Thats good. A yeast contam will not get bigger, you'll just get more and more dots, all small though, then they'll start clustering, but always small super-white dots.


Dont be fooled by people saying "this strain does this, and that one does that." Multispore innoculations of cubensis are always going to be different. "Strains" are not really strains at all. They're just all P.cubensis from different parts of the world.

As far as a cube spore syringe goes, none are more or less potent, none are more "rizomorphic" than the other, none are faster colonizing than another. Actually, there are only like 4 or 5 cubes that are recognizable as different than any other cube. Mycellium turns from smokey-white to white as more grows, it's not that it's a different color, its just that there's more of it.

Good luck.:thumbup:

i did have them covered, and i was readign some posts so i tried taking the lid off two of them, they are stored in my closet so its pretty safe contamination wise and it seems like those two hvae started getting whiter faster.  i also tried the flipping thme over thing cuz the jars looked maybe a tad bit wet but, guess i just gotta be patient and see whats up, i just don't feel like the dots look smokey white like everyone is saying.

also, the white specs start out looking like kinda like clear, kinda like rice specs, but i am sure i ground the BRF up real well cuz i used a coffee grinder ha.  as time goes by, the specs start to get whiter and like kinda connect with other white specs around it.  The jars also appear to be slightly wet, there is some condensation on the inside of the glass.  I decided to take off all the outer layers of tin foil, so that the air holes from inoculation are exposed because the ones that i left it off of seem to have whiter specs and one even has a small spot that looks kinda fuzzy, maybe like some mycelium, one can only hope.
