First time with PF Tek: any tips for colonization dilemma?
    #15909606 - 03/06/12 03:39 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hey guys. I'm trying a new grow with PF Tek this time (last time was a grow bag...great success!). I have 6 jars (1 looked sketchy, and 1 never colonized) colonizing, but they're seemingly stalled, and I have a problem: I'm gonna be living somewhere else for 1-2 months starting March 30th.... Soooo, does anyone have any tips about the current state of these jars? They look about 90% colonized to me...but I'm wondering if there's any way to speed them up a bit, or if it's okay to birth them before full colonization? Or am I going to have to just scrap this project because of bad timing?

Thanksssss!!!! And here's a pic of 3 jars....

Almost 4 weeks. It seems like a long time!

They look close enough to me.  When you birth them just rinse off any un-colonized material along with the dry verm layer.

If the 10% that isn't colonized you're referring to is the top layer of dry verm, not to worry! they are actually fully colonized. You can birth them now if you wish.
