Check my jars tonight.. first sign of mycelium growth!
Only on one jar though... it's about a dime sized white spot at the top (barely touching the top layer of vermiculite).

Hopefully the other 4 will start to show some growth soon!

P.S. I appreciate the advice of not having to buy an incubator...
the closet right above my fridge gives off a perfect amount of heat in there (I stuck a thermometer in there -- it's always 80 - 82 degrees).

3 out of the 6 jars formed some growth.
One is ahead of the game.. it's about 85% covered after 16 days..
The other two late bloomers are both at about 50%.

Now I need to start worrying about making a FC.  I'm considering doing a shotgun terrarium.  If I did my research correctly all I need to do is wait one week after 100% colonization... buy a plastic container, put holes 3-inches apart on all six sides.. layer the bottom with damp perlite with a layer of dry perlite on top and then just fan and spray mist a few times each day at about 76 degrees.

I'm confused about the light though.. is light required? What would be the cheapest way to get this done? And would it be okay only having one cake (since the one is about a week ahead of the others) in the FC?

Also, you know that first batch that I burned? I left it in my closet and one jar is experiencing some (slow) growth. It's completely black at the bottom.. is this even worth experimenting with? (see pic).

sorry, not trying to be an asshole
but this pic just seemed to fit

i would start over bro
those jars are toast

you are going to want to fill your PC
so the water comes about 1/2way up the sides of the jars

maybe even a tad bit less
then PC for 60 min just like you did before

dont let this get you down
shit happens, good luck next time:thumbup:

Ok, did some searching about lights..
I don't want to buy another light fixture so flouresecents are out. I'm going to do the fruiting in my closet which has a pull-down light. I figure I'll just find a 6500k CFL at home depot or lowes or something and have that on for 12/12.

also.. i don't have an electric screw driver to put holes in the plastic container.. what's the next best thing for putting holes in the container?

and how large of a plastic container should I get? I'll have no more than 10 cakes in there at one time
