Problems with mycelium growth.
    #16826708 - 09/10/12 11:50 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

Im having issues with two batches of crops growing. They all stopped growing the mycelium in the jars, its normally around the low 70s in the house at all times but above 70 degrees. Any one have any idea's as to whats holding them back?



Pic1 from Second batch


2pic From first batch

3pic from first batch


All of them are growing at different rates, but they are all the same strain. And they have all pretty much  stopped growing as of lately.

its just masking tape, So take the tape off. And leave the holes open. Or retape it with something else

Tape need only be removed if not MicroPore Tape.
It provides ample GE. Inoculating through is perfectly
fine also.

Stop finger fucking your jars and leave them alone.
Not only are they suffering from GE by being upside
down. But the more you disturb the dry Vermiculite
barrier the larger chance to get a contaminate and/or
early pins before the substrate reaches 100% colonization.

What kind of tape is it? If it's the recommended
Micro Pore tape. Then removing it will do nothing.

If it's just any ol' tape. Then remove it and allow
GE. Odds are it will finish.
