my first brf golden teacher batch
    #14367105 - 04/28/11 01:57 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hello all! First post on here. I've been reading and reading on here and building my knowledge for the last week or so. I followed the pf tek method and sterilized my jars with the brf/verm. Used a layer of dry verm on the top. I waited til the jars were cool and inoculated inside a glove box. My syringes didn't have an air bubble so i had to suck in some sterile air from a flame. I sterilized the needle after every jar to be cautious. The jars have been incubating for roughly 15 hrs.

The only mistake I've made so far (as far as i know) is that i put the foil back on after inoculation and left it on for the 15 hrs they have been incubating. Not a bad mistake i think. But when i removed the foils after i realized what i had done, there was moisture on the lids of the jars that had accumulated. Just a few small drops on each. I wiped them off with a alcohol damp cloth just to be cautious about contamination.

I have three questions:
1- any adverse effects from leaving the foil on ... growth wise?
2- moisture on the lids must be from the humidity and warmth of the jars?
3- wiping the lid with alcohol ok?

1) yes
2) yes
3) don't, let it evaporate. And don't blow on it!

Wait, what? Reading PF-tek for simple minds it says the foil lid goes back on after inoculation and stays on during incubation.

you need ge and foil isnt the best if you are using pf tek then you have a verm barrier,  I use rye and took the foil off and just let them sit on the shelf and no contams yet and I have 24 pints and 24 quarts about 90 percent right now.


edit:but I am a noob so maybe wait for better sources  :goodluck:

I keep reading that gas exchange is needed so no foil

I always leave the foil on during cultivation. I have experimented with this many times. IMO it has no difference what so ever. Gases dont give a fuck about having to go up under a piece of foil. If there is no GE the mycelium will suffocate and die. If the jar is not sealed then there is gas exchange, doesnt matter how many obstacles it has to go thru. this isnt airflow like fae its completely diff.  The only reason i leave em on tho is cause i like to label the strain on them so i dont have to write on the jar.

honestly its your call i dont see it making a diff. im gona start posting pics and vids the next time i cultivate

Sometimes left the foil on, sometimes not. Never noticed a difference one way or the other IME

Ok since its my first go around i figure its best to ask questions and gain some insight then fudge it up.

I made another 5 jar batch today. It went a little smoother since ive done it once already now. I'll  post some picks in a few days if/when some mycelium appears.

Sounds like your on your way if you did another batch already.
Pretty soon you'll answer your own questions.
Good Luck & let us know how your 1st batch did.

Thanks mabachko :smile: im excited to see how well this first time goes. How i can improve and knowing what things look like. Im a very visual person, so seeing it first hand is crucial.

I saw a huge difference when I took the foil off my jars, and I didnt have them wraped super tight either just loose fitting and seemed to make a world of differnce,  but I am just learning still a noob just something I observed.

UPDATE:

It's been 4 days since I noc'd. I looked and didn't see any growth yet. Maybe in the next day or two I will hopefully start to see something. I've been checking the temp where my jars are. It's been roughly 74 degrees. I got them up to about 81 today with a heating pad which I put on low and placed inside my already made FC. I put the jars on top of the FC which allowed heat to rise up to the jars. I covered the whole works with a blanket to trap the heat. Over the course of the day it raised to 81. I turned off the heating pad so I didn't overheat them.

I was hoping to see some myc growth. I haven't been looking at them too much, just checking temp and walking away. I feel it's the only way to keep me from buggin' about them. I'm hoping that the low to mid 70's temp is why I see no growth. But it's only been 4 days so I'm not getting impatient yet. I'm just antsy to see my babies lol

Anyone remember how anxious they were during their first try? Any stories about it to tell? Let me hear em!

Also going through it, buddy. My jars are 7 days from inoculation. Also having temperature issues here, it's about 65F in my room.

I got a cooler box for my jars yesterday and put them in with a glass of luke warm water to raise their temperature a bit. So far I still haven't seen anything.

I saw my first signs of colonization this morning :-) two different jars. I come home after work and half my jars show signs :-) :-)
