How these babies looking?! Advice
    #18438411 - 06/18/13 06:20 PM (11 years, 6 months ago)







They look okay no obvious mold or anything but seems like a lot of moisture is reaching the glass if the jars. I just turned the temp down just a bit maybe it'll help...

Also, sorry... I was also wondering if I should leave those tin foils on the top or take them off? If I do take them off the two holes will be exposed but I read something about air exchange? What what?

They should be off, and the top dry verm layer should prevent contaminants from growing in the jars. If you do take the foil off, do not move the jars - which could let foreign spores to fall down past this protective layer. Just a word of caution... Foil off increases gas exchange and promotes faster mycelium growth. It also will allow foreign spores/bacteria to enter, and will prevent contamination only if left alone.

Also, moisture on the glass is normal and is a good sign.

I am an avid reader on the shroomery, but am only on my first grow. Wait for a TC to confirm what I am saying or read up and verify yourself.

They look good so far. How many days since inoculation?

As long as you are strictly HANDS-OFF until 100% colonization. I'm not joking here! Micropore tape would be helpful but the previous rule would still apply!

Hands off is a great idea but you can mess with them a bit. Just try not to agitate the verm layer at all-that's your contam filter.

OP, go ahead and remove the foil before those pretty jars stall out on you :thumbup:

Here is how I get things done.
You should take a look. :hehehe:

Alright just took the foil off. I won't touch them for a few days.. I was checking them maybe once every two days for contamination. They're in a box at about 82 degrees I have another batch of 9 jars in a box at a temperature of 86 degrees at night and 79 degrees in the day because of my wack situation lol

Ugh-Oh! Watch that temperature! 82 is high but OK. 86 is at the limit, and close to the danger zone. If you don't fix that, it might become an issue. You probably know, just sayin...

I had jars reach 93 once, and growth stopped for 2 days. No contamination, but it stalled for a while. 86 isn't too far from that, especially taking the heat put out by the mycelium during growth.

Yeah 86 being the highest with a heat lamp on in the room. its been probably 2 weeks now since i've inoculated those jars. I'm please with the speed at which they've grown. Ill give it maybe one more week or so before I start to dunk and roll. Gonna build my terrarium and grow light tonight though:)

Well, I think you are at about the same place as me. Half of my jars are at 90% and the rest at 80%. Keep an eye on My Grow Log. What 'strain' are you growing?
