PF TEK Mycelium Stall??
    #14456361 - 05/15/11 01:52 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

inoculated 12 PC - pint wide mouth jars april 1st or so with B+ strain.

Incubated @ 79F and still incubating, 2 cakes fully colonized, birthed 1 cake, crumbled 2nd as spawn for bag of poo w/brf & verm with lime.

Now my ?'s

will the mycelium colonize the bag of poo?

and also did the jars stall out b/c they were too big maybe?

it seems the tops of the cakes in the jars shrunk a bit but not the bottoms where the mycelium seems fluffy white/stringy. but not fully colonized. almost there.

Is that a problem? I was thinking about maybe injecting some dh2o into the jars that are not fully colonized yet, is this a bad idea? I will just wait for it to fully colonize anyways.

any help would be appreciated.

Do the stalled cakes have a hole in the top of the container for gas exchange?

Let me guess, tall 1/2 pint jars?

The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

they could stall from incorrect water content in that spot are maybe a bacterial infection.  How long has there been no growth?  I think pint jars tend to colonize slow/stall anyways.  (i've never done em tho)

Take the tape off, and tighten lids till snug not tight... The one time I loosened my lids they all but a few ended up with mold. Is it the cause :shrug: dunno. But since then I haven't had that problem.

    #14457388 - 05/15/11 04:38 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

there's no contams and i can see condensation inside the jars towards the bottom,they've stalled out for almost a week i'd say but seem to be growing slowly now.

also i was wondering how well could i spawn wbs bags from brf cakes? i'm thinking of trying that with a few cakes. when you use cow poo does the mycelium cover it as it would brf? or is it more like a casing like perlite or verm? since i never used cow poo b4, i'm using a 1-1-1 cow manure compost mixed with brf verm and lime in oven safe bags trying to bulk grow to cased trays. any suggestions?

:facepalm3: I dint say you had contams. I said loosening or opening your jars can lead to contams before 100% colonization. And you shouldn't remove the tape if you dont have a dry Verm barrier. I would turn them upside down for a day or so. Although there is a huge controversy as to if it even works. I did it once with tall pint jars and they colonized finally after 2 weeks of being stalled. It could be just coincidence who knows. Just a thought.
