Ive inoculated a jar with z-strain spores, its been three days since i inoculated and im not seeing mycellium yet. Ive never seen anyone on here growing it or talking about it. Also on all the strains list ive seen, its not listed. Has anyone grown this strain.

Fuck a week, send that shit back and demand a refund at once! I hope you didn't use freespores.com, as every order with them is a crapshoot.

I'm not saying you will always see myc growth within a week, but in my albeit limited experience, I have never had initial signs of growth take longer than a week to appear. Furthermore, my second hand experiences with cubensis germination and subsequent growth hold the same to be true.
I will say that freespores.com has me recently pissed off for a host of reasons I won't delve into. This is certainly influencing my above statement. Especially since every syringe from sporeworks and ralphs has been solid.

a week is a perfectly acceptable amount of time to waste before "sending it back"
(how would you even do that with a used syringe is beyond me..)

Well you don't actually send back the used syringe as it's busted anyway. You just request another one be sent to you, and they will usually send it.

You cant just ask a vendor for another syringe because there no growth at the 1 week point

You can, I have, and they sent me another one. The replacement syringe failed to germinate as well after 3 weeks.

why did you wait three weeks if 1 week is too long?
you sound biased.
i've waited a week many a time for signs of growth.
maybe your spawn prep is to blame?

Mine took 8 days before I saw anything, after that they took off. Definetly use a sponsor. Tell them your a shroomery member, its like being part of their family.

usually takes 7-14 days to see first growth, but i have waited longer sometimes its quick, sometimes not to say all colonization can happen within a week is just misleading...if it happens for you great, but in your LIMITED experience, you are just lucky

so many variables at work when it comes to inoculation and germination ... to say fuck it after a week is nonsensical ...
posting after 3 days is even more ridiculous ...
unless you are using an isolate its gonna take at least a week more times than not ...
im using z strain currently and can attest to its good colonization speed but its spore germination speed so far is lacking imo/ime
of course though this is individual genetics we are talking about so none of those observations really mean shit ! ive taken what ive seen and what ive heard about it and applied the most realistic evaluation i could ...

What the hell does experience have to do with colonization times on brf? We pretty much all use the exact same methods. 2:1:1. I have jars that started in 4 days using the exact same process as the ones that took 8 days.
If your telling us that you know a way to make brf MS. Inoculation to colonize faster then please bless us with your wealth of expert knowlege. I'm listening

If you all don't have any patience then this hobby is not for you. PE is a ball tripper but it takes almost a month to fruit alone, germination took 2 weeks, then a month to grow out a grain jar. Granted I keep things on the cool side, but still, you need patience here. Mushrooms do their thing when they want to, not when you want them to.
