I'm on my first day and i was going to use the BRF but could not find brown rice. i used whole unbleached wheat flour and could not find virm but did find a mix of sphagnum peat moss, horticultural verm,and perlite hope it works i use all the same steps and the 2/1/1 ratio for "verm mix" flour and water I think it should work but not as well. i kinda just stumbled onto this and did not find this site till after inoculation but i did watch the vid tutorial from wazdz on youtube he left his jars covered with tinfoil after injection and else where others leave them off saying a need for FAE, which one is true? .... just to play it safe i placed the jars in a disinfected tub with the foil off and the lid to the tub on... i hope for the best lol i fell like a mad scientist and after all the info i seen here will probably use the bird seed tek next

it is day 3 after inoculation and no sign of fungul growth it might be to cold in my apt. and i have no incubator and the lids to the jars are while not open but they have the injectors sites open i will wait till the end of the week to see if there is any growth but if not i might need to rehydrate and put in the fridge till i get and adequate environment Q: is there any way to rehydrate a jar, or is it just better to throw it out.... plz beware i am on a budget in a small space and this is just a hobbie

Just let it sit, its been 3 days. Take it out of the box and set it on your dresser or something, somewhere it wont get fucked with or knocked over. Forget about it for like 5-10 days, and stop worrying. Did you use all of your syringe already? if so, in how many jars? IF you have some syringe left, Id get some actual Vermiculite (Jerrys, home depot, sometimes walmart/other grocery stores with a gardening center will have it), and some actual brown rice flour (got mine in the bulk section at the organic store) and start a new batch of jars the right way.

Ive had jars take up to three weeks to show growth so you shouldnt toss it out after only a week just be patient dont be so quick to scrap it. No trying to rehydrate them would make them unsterile and succeptible to mold which will most likely win the battle.

I only use a few drops per jar/hole.
Spores are potent, stretch them out.

Yea 5 ml per jar would be a no no, but if you mean using 5 ml throughout four jars that would be fine but you could still probably get away with a little less honestly.

My best advice is follow the pf tek exactly, and do it asap. Dont expect those first jars to amount to anything, ill be surprised if they work out. You never mentioned if you steam sterilized or Pressure cooked?

What type of FC are you going to use. You should not need a humidifier. Humidifiers are usually use in grow tent. Just use perlite.

Can't find perlite? Really?? It's not uncommon to find it at grocery stores. Forget the humidifier and all that jazz... build a shotgun, and forget about it. Seriously, so easy and cheap. As soon as you start adding mechanics to your grow, it's a lot more complicated.

The Walmart where I live never has anything I need. It sucks. Have you tried a hardware or garden store for the perlite and verm. I got mine from Lowes or Home Depot, don't remember which, and huge bags, too, for cheap.

Home Depot carries Perlite, not sure about Vermiculite. Jerrys sells Vermiculite. I couldnt find verm so I searched for an employee and asked, they had huge bags out in the warehouse area. I don't think I'm ever gonna use this whole bag

Right?? I know exactly what you mean. I have TWO 4 cu/ft bags of perlite since I ordered 1 bag online [OP have you looked into that?]and forgot I did that and went out and bought the second 4 cu/ft bag at the big hardware store mentioned above.

I totally agree with this guy. Why can't I make a new thread? I'm getting fruits and want to start a competition? Is everyone always going to judge me on how I first learned? I'm growing fruits, no contamination. I already have a new profile and if I need to I will post 50 dumb posts or how ever many posts I need to make before I can start my own thread again.

I have not done anything wrong. I had a thread that lasted a few years and has nearly 24,000 reviews with 741 replies. I'm simply trying to create a new thread. I've attached a picture of what I see after I click on the hyperlink "Threads" under your user name. Where do I go next to make the new thread? Am I overlooking something? It has been so long since I've made a thread. Either I'm an idiot and am missing where I make a new thread or someone has restricted me which I don't see why.
I'm about to start a new profile just to see if that is the issue but I would hate to do that for no good reason.

You're not alone. I don't see where you make a new thread either. I'm brand new here and I don't see where you would go next after clicking the hyperlink "Threads"
Maybe someone can better guide you.

 Go back to the FORUM, like mushcult or whatever. At the top right you'll see 'post'. That's how you start a thread.
The 'threads' link is just for the threads you've responded to for updates.

You don't create new threads under "threads" the "threads" button is simply a way for you to be able to look at all your threads that you have created across the forum sections.. You go to the appropriate section of the forum you want to start a thread in and then you have the options to post a new thread...
