I was thinking I might make a shotgun chamber for half my jars and use the kits fruiting chamber and then compare the results when I'm finished. This is my first grow as well

Anyone here ever birth without dunking and rolling, just rinsing? This cake was only rinsed since it had a few pins growing in the jar

That pic was taken 2 days ago, I'll update with another pic later from the same angle to compare. There's some other cakes in now that were dunked but not rolled, I'll have pics of them too. The only reason I didn't roll is bc I don't have dry vermiculite. I still have 5 jars colonizing, 1 with a good sized pin that's not even at 100%. (too much light I guess) I'll try to pick up some dry verm before I birth those.

I got a kit from midwest aswell. I keep it set up to fruit test cakes, but I like my monotub better. Also planning a SGFC for when I start pan cyans.

Tuesday will be three weeks and my jars are between half way and three quarters full of mycelium. Is this too slow? Should I raise the heat? They're at about 76 degrees

Heat is not good man 76 is perfect keep them their . RR has said many times the inside temps are higher than the outside temp and growth drops off at about 83 to 86

Maybe I'm impatient. Is it going slow? Or is it normal to take this long?
