lot's of questions ! if nothing happens in two or three weeks you are most likely fucked ! patience, three or four days or even seven isn't always long enough. p.s. - if you see the green or pink funk you are done, throw those jars out. good luck.

Well my friends jars have been incubating for almost three weeks now. Here are some pics of his progress. This is his incubator, after he flipped his jars. All but one of the jars is fully colonized except for the bottoms. One of them seems to be done. It is in the second pic. The ones that seem close have shrunk quite a bit, while the others have not yet. He is going to give it a few more days, and put some in his poor man's pod.

Thanks for the help, my sloth has seen the "hair" in one jar that is part of a later experiment that was sterilized properly, how very exciting!!!

Still steady but very slow growth in the dry jars. Pat expects the myc to be very rhizamorphic and probably a lose but that's the very definition of experiment if you ask me.

Thanks again

AFOAF just did up his first 3 casings on Tuesday. The mycelium tore through the casing (50/50+) and now he's just playing the waiting game for pins. Perlite humidification for now and everything was cold shocked overnight with gallon milk jugs frozen and filled with h20.

Casings look picture perfect tho. I would share my FOAF's digicam pics but he is a newbie and sketched out about posting grow logs. Seems like it would be too easy for a grow log, complete with pictures, to become exibit A... know what I'm saying??

Thanks for the advice everyone and I'm glad to see that other newbies have been responding and sharing their anticipation and questions with the more knowledgable.  :smile: 

Well, my kitten spotted her first glimpse of pure white in several spots in one of her PR jars, and she just realized that the grayish-white stuff in the substrate of the other jars might be colonization.  Does the mycelium usually begin in the entire jar at once?  Is it ever grayish-white (if that makes sense)?  It doesn't appear to be a contam, but again, the light gray hue appears to be fuzzy and it is all over the substrate in several of the jars. 
What does anyone think?

My faery g-ma had that stuff too, when she saw it she was really excited but maybe it was just some trick of the water or something. Once the obvious white mycelium showed up, she felt kind of silly, yet giddy as the excitement was justified: so far so good.

I was also very excited/anxious/paranoid my first grow....every lil thing I thought I did wrong I thought would result in failure...I remember the first time I tried taking off the cap of the syringe I didn't want too wreck anything so I was barely pulling on it...ended up twisting it and the actual needle part came right off......I thought for sure I was FUCKED....but too my surprise only lost 1 of 12 my first go.....just keep in mind even if you screw up you can always try again :smile: and everytime you do shit it gets easier
