Alright, so either I've had a huge case of beginners luck plop down on me or the contams just haven't shown up yet.  A week ago, when I made my first jars(the 4oz ones, not the half pints i did later, i produced the most water logged piss poor looking examples of jars ever.  I didn't even photo these because they just scream FAILURE!  I kept them though, and figured maybe one might end up turning out and I cant afford to waste an chance of getting some spores right now.  Sure enough, I have this fluffy white looking stuff showing up now, and I'm happy about that, it's just the beginnings, but hey, my fingers are crossed and as soon as there's enough myc to photo, I will, maybe tomorrow.

This is one of my 4oz(1/4 pint) jars.  These are water logged bad, really bad, the slime looking stuff you see is nothing more than BRF that's wet as hell, been there since I PC'ed them...

I've got some mycelium starting to show on up though. 
My 1/2 pint jars look really good now, I'll get a pic of them tonight, perfect water content, no goopy brf paste...

As wet as those nasty little things are, I should case them or something shouldnt I?  I've had 1 of the 12 go down to black mold already, and I know that I've got better conditions for contams than shrooms.

Should I just let them colonize as far as they'll go then maybe crumble them into a shallow dish of some sort and fruit from there?  Really, I just NEED to get some shrooms to spore print off these, this was my first run of jars and I put all my eggs in one basket so to speak with a particular strain that I'd like to keep... 

The second run I did much better, didnt use as much of a spore print as I did with those and things are OK...

Those little 4oz jars, you've just gotta be really careful how much solution you inoculate with... It's not hard to do to much real fast with a 12cc/mL syringe...  Also somehow or another I jerked around and didnt press the needle up to the glass to inoculate some of the holes on some jars, so I'm sure I've got a lot more growth inside than I do outside.... live and learn...second batch looks much better lol

I crumbled 12 cakes into some left over coir and it colonized and pinned.

My half pint jars are germinated now and looking super clean, I've got a lot of faith in these... fingers are crossed and I'm knocking on wood after saying that, but yeah.  Hopefully they'll do good.  These jars are all BRF/Vermiculite jars.

I've aquired bulk amounts of rye, millet, and wbs though and can't wait to play with that... I'm going to do some edibles of some kind as well this next round, not real sure which ones yet though...

Every tall jar I have ever had has stalled and taken over a month sometimes two to colonize, and the half pint cakes I have done were all :thumbdown::cuteshit:. Some have success with cakes but not for me, most eventually go to bulk and I have an awesome stealth tek in the makings, just trying to get the costs down.


Every bulk grow I have done almost grew itself with no help with amazing dry ounces of potent shrooms, all I use is a mono, colonized sterile rye berries, gypsum, and Damion5050's elementary coir tek in 2 small 64 quart monos with half the coir and 3 quarts of the colonized rye per tub.(about $30 for about 5-6 ounces of dry shrooms, have to have a PC though)

And opening the tub and seeing your second massive flushes is almost indescribable, kinda like Christmas morning mixed with going over the first drop on a roller coaster. Everyone who does mycology should learn how to use and own a pressure cooker IMO unless the have an autoclave...:awesomenod::thumbup::mushroomgrow: :mushdance:
BULK IS FAST & EASY! funny thing is that my bulk is in smaller tubs than my SG, I am about to convert my SG to a still air box for pouring agar.

I PC everything..  I'm pursuing some wbs jars as well right now...

Grain to horse poo and hay/straw is where I wanna go with this... I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing, but I think I've got something worked out.  I'll post pics and updates as my grain to bulk goes...

The super wet short 4oz 1/4pint jars I did, wow, those things got MESSY... Now the few that I quarantined to just to see where they'd go have like been won back over by myc.  I did take one out doors after PCing it and open it, and OMG when I did... That damn thing had the black death and green funk coming all up out of the dry layer.... it practically exploded out from under the lid... YES I DID THIS 40 MILES AWAY, TWO SHOWERS(INCLUDING TWO CHANGES OF CLOTHS)AWAY FROM MY LOCATION. NOT TO MENTION ID ALREADY PCed it......

I would just use Damion5050's elementary coir tek for bulk, I like to eat the bottoms of stems too, but I dont like eating poo, I did an experiment and my coir tub came out on top on potency and they have consistent results. You might do a poo sub that does nothing but side pin like my last Hpoo sub. Zoo manure works really well though because it is their preferred place to grow in wild. http://www.headypoo.com

It might be personal preference, but I found WBS to be a pain in the ass to prepare when compared to rye/wheat berries. Give them a shot if you can get a good supply. :thumbup:

Here's some links that should help with pasteurizing if you decide not to go with the bucket tek. I definitely recommend poo in the substrate... they are dung-lovers! :holyshit:

Agar's pasteurization
Facey's Shitty Sub Prep
and a video on spawning here.

And CH Hell's Additives in case you want to further diversify your substrate.

Basically, I treat mushies like they are humans. A nutritious and varied food supply makes for healthy creatures!  :psychsplit:
