First time poster and cultivator. Very little growth in 3 weeks.
    #16173115 - 05/02/12 07:27 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Like I mentioned in my subject this is my first time growing and I have some questions that can probably be answered easily.

I bought a grow kit online that came with very little instructions so I pieced information together from various sources.  The area I kept the kit in had very little gas exchange.  From reading some forums on here I realize this was a mistake. 

After 3 weeks I only have a quarter size growth on one jar.  If given gas exchange now at the right temp are they salvageable?

Also, new to forums in general.  Feel free to let me know if I'm breaking any unwritten rules or being too general.

Pre made 1/2 pints jars filled with vermiculite.  Kept them in an old freezer inside a large bin.  The bin was sitting on water to keep the humidity and temperature constant.  Temperature was 84-86 constantly.

http://www.midwestgrowkits.com/grow-kits.html is where I bought it from.

Take them out of the bin ASAP . Put them on a shelf  . Standing water is a baaad idea..(rh) humidity really has no role in colonization

One 10cc syringe per 6 jars. Total of 12 jars.  I waited less then a week to inoc.  Came with foil but we took it off.

Took them out of the bin about 2 hours ago.  It's about 76 where they're sitting now.

1cc per jar is the recommend amount .. you used 2 syringes for 12 jars? Eather your syringes are poor quality or your sub is wet , they will still grow but its going to take a little bit ...  Did you get your syringes from one of our sponsors  http://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php

76 is good I personally don't like going much over 80 (higher contaminant chances)

Opened one jar earlier because we thought all was lost and the substrate was wet.

Not much to be taken.  Probably about a dime sized white growth in 3 jars.  Can't get pictures tonight, but if you want them I can get them tomorrow.
