Yeah, I'm makin a batch of 12 8oz BRF jars tonight... giving the LCs a GOOD magnetic stir, and then going to test um out...
I'll definitely post up the results when I start to see some growth in them, whether it be good or bad :P

Test on one jar, not twelve.

well I have 5 different LCs... (4 white islands, 1 other one)
So i figured I would do two jars of each... just 'in-case' one contams due to improper panelization or something, rather than the LC being bad...
plus I'm getting ready to use them for a separate bulk grow... So i wanted to make sure anyways...

Makes sense. Two jars is a better test than one.

i'd still only do one jar per lc, cuz imo those don't look good. but hopefully i'm wrong.

yeah, the hard part tho is going to get it to break up... since the one 'tornado' looking jar is super think... connected to the huge white island on top... so when I turn on my home made magnetic stirrer... it just keeps rotates... not enough force to bring it down to the bottom of the jar and start breaking it up :\

I am tempted tho to screw one jar over, and open it up, just to get a CLEAR shot of the white fuzz, and see what it smells like... very VERY tempted...

UPDATE: So i made 10 brf jars to test out the LCs...
Seems to me I'm retarded... cuz if i cant BREAK UP all of whats inside of the LC... then I cant suck it up into a syringe...
No idea how i forgot about that when i decided to make the jars last night... ahg.
So my new plan is to make my grow room into a glove box type setting... aka clean the FUCK outa my walk in closet... and I just made 5 wide mouth plastic lids, drilled one hole in them, and then covered the hole in high-temp sealant... So my goal tomorrow is to undo the lids of my LCs... and then carefully/quickly take off the tyvek and pop on one of the new lids.
This way I can do that to four of them... and then on one of them get a few snap shots of the white fuzz, and maybe a quick smell of it before throwing on the new lid...
and then finally, once the new lids are on... I'm going to shake the FUCK out of these jars... until EVERYTHING is broken down... spore for spore lol
and then suck um up in syringes

Here's the update...
successfully (hopefully!) got the new lids on so I could shake them...
snapped some pictures of the P.E. LC I got goin... might have put it at a huge risk... but figured it was for a good cause and for some good pics... also gave it a quick smell, and it smelled my mushrooms 
so thats a good note...

gotta go to work... shook one of the jars, so compare the results when I get home... for if shaking them contams them... with the new lids on I can now turn them upside down to suck up what i need in a syringe... so I figured I would do some tests before shaking them all...
from the smell alone tho, I think they are still good... I'm hoping I didnt put them at TOO much risk from switching the lids tho, But i feel that my lid-switching-sterelize tek that I came up with last minute was good enough to keep um safe 

I would love some feed back on these pics if ANYONE has seen this before, or knows what causes this ect...
also the jar I shook looks a little bubbly...

hmmm....

Update... After shaking, it seems that one jar has successfully 'recovered' from the shake... No white islands and it looks pretty healthy (Treasure Coast).
As for the other jars... they seem to be gathering at the top of the jar... while the other half seems to gather at the bottom... and the top of the jar just looks bubbly and almost brown 
I need to go out and get gloves before I can inject the BRF jars i made the other day... Since I had to delay the injection, what do you guys think? Should I re-sterilize the BRF jars? It's going to be almost a full 3 days from when I made them to when I can inject them... buuuut I did put them in an empty CLEAN fish tank... sprayed the entire tank with a decent dose of Lysol, and then just a cover over it...
Still good?
opinions?
remake all 10 test jars?
