Forgot to shake after g2g....
    #18768569 - 08/28/13 01:57 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

It's been a couple of days and the master grain is starting to heal.  Should I shake now, wait till it's 30% colonized, or no shake at all?

Preface this answer with the fact that I'm very much a beginner myself

but from my understanding, you shake it to help spread the colonized subsrate evenly into the uncolonized grain, thereby speeding colonization process up.

I personally would now wait until 30%  but someone more experience may have a better idea/different advice, and I don't know that it would hurt it to shake it now and again later. I think it's when you start shaking every day that it starts slowing things down.

If the colonized grains are just sitting on top, waiting until 30% is silly.

That would just be a waste of 3-5 days, because letting the grains recover would make it look like 20-30%.

Spread out those inoculation points ASAP.

I shake right after g2g, then again at like 70%.

One shake should be good enough in my opinion.

You can shake as often as you need to.

Think about how many times you've messed with it during the process.

Consider a grain to grain:

Shake after inoculation with agar or LC. Shake at 30%. Shake to break up for G2G. Shake after G2G. If you do G2G again, you are shaking and breaking it up again. Then shaking to spawn.

Some people do 5 or 6 grain to grain transfers before spawning to bulk.

My point is, it never hurts to shake the mycelium one extra time.

So, if you forgot to shake OP, just shake away :thumbup:
