My Monotub Grow Log (Albino A+) Updated: 12/26 - PIN PORN
    #15405848 - 11/21/11 11:47 PM (13 years, 1 month ago)

11 jars containing approx 1/2 a quart of wbs. (Some more and some less)
2 1 jars containing WBS and a tbsp of BRF (spawned one)
and 1 jar only barely filled with WBS to be used to make a GLC later.(already did and inoculated new set of jars)

I have most of the jars sitting in my tub on a table in the dining room, with foil lightly placed over the lids (def not airtight, just enough to keep stuff from falling on it from above. . The lids of these jars were made using Citric's self-healing lid tek, and inoculated using his inoculation technique (flame needle, stab through alcohol soaked sponge into self-healing injection port, inject spores, remove, repeat)  I Lysol'd the shit out of my working area (a few times) and made sure the room had 20-30 minutes to let the air settle.

After these are done colonizing I intend to spawn to coir/verm using damion5050's coir tek.  I will also be adding an amount of gypsum to the bulk substrate if I can get my hands on it.

:peace:








Viewing window in the tub.  It's just two layers of saran wrap sealed with duct tape but I feel that it's adequate for a fruiting chamber.  I don't care that it's not taut and neither will the mushrooms.



To be honest I'm a little worried about contams given that I did inoculate pretty much in open air.  (I have since built a glovebox.  Not a lesson I wanna learn the hard way) I did do my best to sanitize the work area and lysol the crap out of the air in the room for like half an hour.  I also wore a high grade respirator to prevent my stanky ass breath from killing the crop.  Anyone have any strokes of luck taking even less precaution?


SKIP AHEAD TO 12/26



LATER THAT DAY...

i dont want to give you bad advice so i wont tell you not to use a glovebox, but i always inoculate in open air. and ive never had a contam in a jar. so you should be ok aslong as everything was sterilized and sanitized.

Yep, on top of the respirator, alcohol soaked rubber gloves (which I also rubbed everything else with while wet), bleaching all surfaces prior, and using the very corner of the cleanest, stillest room in the house, I wanna believe I'm just overthinking it.  I've paid a lot of attention to RRs posts though and I know he'd frown at some of the techniques I used.  I do want to invest in making a SAB for jar work.

My guess is that with self-healing inoculation ports, you probably don't have to worry much.

Here's to hoping.  I should have a good idea about if there's contams in the next 10 days I presume?  Especially if the jars had been pc'd about 3 days before receiving spores, anyway?

It sounds like you took enough precautions to be ok. I have done this a couple of times when i only had a couple of jars to inoculate. I use my glove box most of the time.

Good luck. Albino fruits always grab my eye.

Heh it's worth a try.  You could get some cool designs out that way.  I say go for it.  And yeah since I had to sift the grains so much in my hands I ended up making shapes with them while drying them.  I thought it was a pleasant way to ease the boredom.

Because the heater in our apt is currently not working, the jars have probably been from 67-71 degrees, maybe even colder.  Can someone confirm that injecting spores into jars and then having them sit there for a few days with no signs of growth doesn't necessarily mean the spores don't work?  Would getting it up closer to 77 degrees help the initial germination?  I know 75 is the sweet spot but I'm having to use the oven to heat the whole house, which really sucks.  I've also considered getting a heating pad or something.  Any advice?  I just want to see these grain jars take off. :confused:

Sometimes it can take a while to see any growth. I've heard of 3 weeks. You will most likely see something within the first 2 weeks.

That kinda sucks.  I was hoping to be done by the new year.  But I'll take it as it comes I suppose.  Running on expectations never does work in a grower's favor.

3 weeks for a quart jar? that's kind of long. Mine get 100% in 5-8 days using 5cc of LC and an aggressive strain.

Low temps will definitely slow things down. The spot where my jars usually live is about 64f at the moment. I had jars sat there with no sign of germination after 8 days, so i moved them into the kitchen where it's a bit cosier and there was growth within the next 24 hours.

Your average temps are ok, if you can find a warmer spot it will speed things up. If you can keep them on a high shelf they'll be at a slightly higher temp than of they're sat on a desk.

And your spores can sit in the jar for a couple of weeks without showing any growth sometimes. Don't stress on it. They'll grow when they're ready.

Oh sweet.  I see growth.  Only in one jar, and only one little spot, but that's enough to reassure me.  It looks like a little white asterisk (*) the size of a thumbtack.  Joy!

Good stuff. Always encouraging to see that first little sign of life.
Now the fun begins as you try to stop yourself from looking at the jars every hour :hehehe:
