12 days after inoculation. ALl but one jar is showing signs of life around this level, this is the biggest "clump".

Worst thing is that last night i had a dream I woke up and found all my jars fully colonized. Damn you brain.

You should punish your brain for that.  I recommend drowning it in alcohol.

Did you push the needle down through the top verm layer before pushing any spore solution out, or did you spray it on top?

Technically there should be no nutrients in the dry verm... It's one thing yo reach up through it, it's another to start colonizing there...

looks like storing mycelium to me ,just be a little patient
ive had jars that did nothing, and i was about to throw the out and got side track for a week or so , and when i went to toss them a week or so to later there was growth there, yeah it took almost three weeks for anything to happen, go figure, good luck

Day 16, Same jar.
Suffered a casulty, 1 of group B's jars was KIA due to trich. The rest of the jars in group B have started showing good signs of growth, Group A is going strong. Id say 3-4 weeks til fruit.

    #14324114 - 04/20/11 05:26 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Today.. found the 3rd and 4th jar with a sign of contamination... So pissed... only 5 of my 12 jars are growing well. One is JUST showing signs of growth...

Question..

I will in no way have 5 quarts of spawn for my monotub, and at this rate i am expecting atleast 1 more contamination (which im guessing is due to poor inoculation and not a deep enough dry verm layer).

Can i still spawn to a reasonably large substrate with less spawn, but just have to wait longer for fruit?

Also, Now that I have 4 jars with nothing in them, and alot of extra verm and BRF laying around, could I cut a peice of healthy myc out of one of my jars and inoculate these failjars with that??

Thanks guys, I am dissapoint..

-M

Sucks to hear about the contams man.

Correct me if im wrong anyone, but i'm pretty sure spawning less to more substrate will increase the risk for contaminations.


I think it would still fruit just take longer, but I wouldnt risk it. not needed. :smile:

Get something like this...

http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_00902786000P?prdNo=8&blockNo=8&blockType=G8

and then make a partial batch of substrate, mix it up in the shoebox, and then put that in your mono.

So trip your saying that I should basically make a smaller mono, let that colonize, then do it in my large tub and continue the process?

Honestly mycology takes a lot of patience and experimentation. If this is your first go around start slow brother, you got nice rhizomorphic growth in those jars. You should be very happy with your results so far :thumbup: IMO go ahead and just birth the cakes for your first run. Fill the bottom of a tub with moist perlite 4-5 inches, dunk and roll the cakes and then place them onto lids in the bin, mist and introduce FAE.

  Make sure you wait a good 5-7 days after they look fully colonized. Usually they will start to pull away from the sides of the jars and you know the jar is consolidated.

  Best of luck!!! Keep us updated!  :popcorn:

I mixed up the spawn and substrate in one of those and put the shoebox into the mono (I have 2 in one mono and 1 in the other).  I didn't want to make a small mono because I don't intend to do small batches like this... this is (hopefully) a one-time thing until I can get lots of grain going.

check your jars once a week and you will be pleased. Usually takes a full month for full colonization of brf without a incubator. This of course includes the extra week after full colonization to allow the mycelium to grab hold of the material used. Patience is definitely key, that's why it's important to keep things going in shifts so you won't have to wait for a whole month for the next batch to be ready. Btw, fantastic results with a simple 15 qt monotub with crumbled brf cakes. Used 1/2 inch of 50/50 verm/peat moss for the casing material. Got a little over two zips first flush. set it and forget it baby!
