PENIS ENVY WILL NOT COLONIZE
    #14170993 - 03/23/11 03:57 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

It has been 4 weeks since I knocked up my jars and I still see nothing at all.  I injected the sides of the substrate as well...What do yall think the problem could be?

Moisture content is probably off, meaning too dry.

There is a problem with your substrate or your syringe.

Try again.

I'm gonna venture a guess of too wet, that was my problem and now I have 10/10 jars at about 60%

Trial and error buddy, but yeah moisture content is a major one

Always keep in mind in this hobby that:

"What works for one, does NOT necessarily work for the other."

We all have different mycroclimates w/in which we work. You can make as uniform of an assumption as you would like, but it doesn't work like that in mycology. We all have to ADAPT to our own environment. We can read & read & read & research, then do it again. However, unless you've done it on your own, it doesn't work 100% according to someone else's plan.

We all adapt & grow in this hobby. That's what this forum is all about:

ADAPTATION

Bunk spores.  Even if you screwed up the cakes, you'd still see at least something by now.

Yeah it was probably because it was left out of the refrigerator for like 4 days after it arrived. Unfortunately the damn person didn't tell me I had gotten a package until almost a week later...I got them from SporeWorks which I heard was a great vendor which I do like them for sending another syringe when one is defective but this was the 2nd PE Syringe that was defective. I told them the problem and asked for a Golden Teacher syringe instead so I hope these work..wish me luck and thanks for the responses...what is the  best substrate for GT STRAIN? Also Louisiana is my location at the moment.

What was the date listed on your PE syringe?

Im dealing with a similar experience with a SW PE Syringe.  Bought it a few months ago, maybe from the same batch.  HOWEVER.  I use a flowhood and have immaculate sterile technique.    I got growth on Agar, WBS, LC, and even on Hpoo/Verm/WBS spawn bags.  HOWEVER.  it was all very weak, and very slow.  no rhizomes anywhere to be seen.  I am in the process of a large bulk grow to sort out a fruiting substrain from this less than impressive PE multispore.  ( i had to abandon the agar work for isolation, the strain didnt take to it very well at all, considering how slow it was going.)

I would say that isolating PE into a healthy substrain should be priority if you plan on using it, it is a freak mutant from the depths of consciousness itself.

Michael, were you using the same agar recipie the whole time? I've noticed that adding a pinch of rye flour or other additives sometimes makes growth more vigorous, though im by no means an agar expert.

original poster: Besides bunk spores, it has to be your procedure. PE is very difficult to grow, took about 45 days to colonize a quart of grain for me, and i gave up trying to get it to fruit for now.
Just make sure you follow all the precautions, I don't want to assume you're a noob but make sure your jars are cooled off and all of that before you noc them up. etc.

same agar i was using on my oysters and other cubes, must be the PE.  Its a tough one but if you can get it to fruit is is worth all the effort.

I should note that it often takes 3-5 agar transfers to get a nice rhizomorphic sector.  i didnt make it far.
