Jars pinning at only 50%.....wtf
    #15914694 - 03/07/12 04:13 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

No contam...temp is a steady 75-80 and the RH of the incubation room is 40-50%.

What is **** is happening....X.x

This is the worst of the jars. About 7 others out of 20 are pinning but not as badly.

Do I have to ditch the pinning jars are can I just let them finish colonizing while pinning?



Thnx for the input..

Ordered them online because I really liked the results from the last ones I ordered ages ago and I got a bit of a discount this time. So decided to try them again. I usually do my own.

$70 for 40 jars.

So Should I make the holes a tad bigger in my glovebox or just let him suffer till dunk time? O-o

seems like they almost weren't packed enough before PC'ing... theres a lot of room between the cake and the inside of the glass jar... not that its un-heard of but it may be to blame here, or at least partially.

no... more holes would probably crate more pinning... i think air getting in may be the prob.. i would wrap them up air tight for the duration of colonization.. then pick the bigger premos before dunking and you should be good..

the extra air in there might have triggered pinning....

Possibly too much FAE - they need a lot of CO2 to colonize. What's the GE on the lids look like? Or maybe there's not enough nutrients in the substrate of the jars you bought?

There wasn't that extra space before inoculation. They contracted over time. So I did think that maybe the water content was wrong....meh who knows.

Thanks for the advice. I'll just pop them into my micropore box. I rarely use it because it sometimes causes the temp to break 80F.

I doubt its the holes the are the problem because they are the same size as the last batches I did.

I would love to hear what one of our community experts has to say about this...please...been a question of mine for some time....what causes this

makes sense that a jar cannot pin without being fully colonized/consolidated

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

There's a part of every living thing that wants to become itself: the tadpole into the frog, the chrysalis into the butterfly, a damaged human being into a whole one. That is spirituality.
