Yet Another First Timer's PF-Tek Grow Log

Hello friends,
I imagine people might be getting tired of these, but I am super excited about it and I figure I'll be needing some assistance or advice later on, so I'm going to keep a log going here for my first grow.
No pictures right now, but I'll be adding them once there are photo-worthy things.
Pretty much have just been following Shea25's PF Tek to a T.
I am growing 12 BRF PF cakes in wide-mouth half pint jars. I mixed and sterilized them last night (90 minutes in a pot).
Inoculated them this morning with PE6 spores from Fun Guy. I've got the inoculation holes covered with micropore tape for now, which I am going to keep on there for a couple days until I see some mycelium, and then I will remove the tape for more GE.
I'm super excited.
Wish me luck!

you can leave the tape, just not the tinfoil.
have fun and make sure to show off some pics once you get into fruiting!
-------------------- We think we have freedom, but we're all just mice in a maze.... FYI: I stole all my pix off google! F+ PORN! Here is a shit-ton of porn by yours truly! I have FINALLY written up a couple teks as to how SHP has done things in the past. DISCLAIMER: This is not for the newbie to mycology, and not going to work for everyone! This is simply what works for one person when other teks and methods have failed miserably! ~~~~~How SHP does their unconventional WBS Prep!! (NO DRY METHOD)~~~~ ~~~~~SHP's highly disputed method of doing ALL their work outside of a flow hood or a Still air box!~~~~~ ~~~~~Troubles harvesting the side and bottom pins in your mono? Learn how!! Dunking included ;-)~~~~~

If you do a dry verm layer like they talk about in the tek and you don't disturb it while it's colonizing, you don't even need the tape.
But for your first time it's prolly good to leave it on. You made a SGFC already?

I did do the dry verm layer. So yeah, once the myc has for sure taken hold, I'm going to take the tape off.
As for the SGFC - not quite made yet, but I have all of the supplies. I basically just need to drill the holes.

Quick mini-update:
3 days after inoculation, no visible signs of growth. I removed the micropore tape in hopes of improving GE. Also a but concerned about the room being a bit cold - I think it might be in the 60s. Warmer weather coming up, though, so hopefully this will improve.

So, i'm at T+10 days from inoculation, and have yet to see any mycelial growth in any of the jars. Should I be worried?

I usually see signs at around 7 days easy... Patience is a virtue in this hobby. Give it some more time.

it took me 10 days to see growth the first time.....
and 2 jars took at least a month, maybe longer, to show any growth at all. so long that i thought that i had forgotten to inoculate them.

All I'm saying is that if we tried to encourage these peeps to do monotubs, this forum would me more enjoyable. All the good info gets lost in here.
Why do you think I keep harassing you?

As far as the monotub thing goes, I really wish I could spawn this stuff to one (assuming the jars aren't bunk) - but since buying the stuff for PF Tek, I lost my job and literally don't have money to go buy substrate and stuff. So I'm just going to stick it out with this.

Finally, 13 days after inoculation, I have the very first signs of growth in at least one jar! Does this look right?

Flipside - I think I've got trich in a different jar. Am I right?

Did you nock them against the glass so you could see your spore solution run down the side? Looks like its growing from the inside out .... if thats myc I see. I don't see anything in the first pic. but possibly something in the second.
