No Colonization
    #10109305 - 04/05/09 08:20 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

I have successfully completed several grows, although I still occasionally have problems with getting jars to colonize. Twice now, with two different batches, I have inoculated, waited 2 weeks and seen no growth. I cant understand why this is happening, as i've had several successful batches of Jars. I tried re-innocultaing some of the Jars with a different syringe to see if this was the problem, and there still not showing growth.

I use Budgie seed which is a mixture of mainly milet, and Ive prepared it the same way each time, yet sometimes it works fine with good colonization speeds and on 2 occasions now its not worked at all.

What are possible causes for this? The only thing I can think is some of the bags of Millet I buy may have been treated with a fungicide or something?

thanks

If there was no germination, that's a good possibility.  I'd recommend organic rye berries.  That's all I use after experimenting with just about every cereal grain available.  Rye is the gold standard and nothing can touch it.

I'm in the UK and cannot find rye berries, although I can get wheat grains at the local pet shop that look very similar. Do you know if Rye berries are called something different in the UK?

Thanks for your help
