First grow log! (Mazatapec)| (Mini) UPDATE: 9/9
    #18789676 - 09/02/13 12:39 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hey everyone! I'v been lurking here for a little bit and I finally got around to starting another grow for the Maz syringe sitting in my fridge for a couple months now. There really isn't much to it right now but i got some pics of my set up. I just thought this would be a bit better then a standard introduction post haha. I'm using the popcorn tek then when it's fully colonized I'm hoping to transfer it either into a tray or just do a bulk grow with coir and verm.







I drilled 4 holes underneath the aluminum foil for inoculation points and then covered them in medical tape my only concern is if that's not enough FAE for the jars or not. I guess time will only tell.

Thanks for checking out my grow log :heart:

If you leave the 4 holes as they are, there will be sufficient FAE.

I went to check up on my jars to make sure there was no mold growing and there was a nice surprise waiting at the bottom of one of the jars for me all along the bottom rim of the jar :grin:



It might not be much growth but it started colonizing MUCH faster then my first grow so I'm very excited  :thumbup:

I am interested in seeing this one through.  I am interested to see if your experience with maz is similar to mine.  Good luck, and I am looking forward to seeing huge flushes with massive fruits.  Please keep us posted!

Opened up the box where I'm keeping all my jars and they all were at around 5-15% colonization on the bottom (did an MS inoculation) and gave them a good shake.



(what they all looked like on the bottom)

Thanks for stopping by!

Ah ok I was just worried about the jars getting contaminated. I'm assuming i should cover the inoculation holes with micropore tape? Or should they be fine as is?

I would have made proper lids. Are you using pftek style lids for grains?

with pf tek the dry verm provides a contamination barrier. You might have problems with your jars.

also, I've never used popcorn so I might be wrong

Two layers of micropore tape over all four of your 1/8 inch holes for proper gas exchange. If you didn't do it, you may be able to save it by adding the tape in your sterilized still air box.

Actually 2 layers might inhibit GE...not sure tho...on the list of things to use as filters micropore tape is dead last.

Tyvek, polyfill, ez felt, and SFDs are a much better choice for grain jars.

Synthetic Filter Disks are the gold standard and can last years if siliconed to your lids.

And it is impossible to sterilize a still air box...not that you would ever want to or need to, because that is not how it works.

It works off still air.....hell it doesn't even have to be sanitary.....it just has to provide a still air environment that is isolated away from everything else.

Yeah I just reused my pftek jars after giving them a good scrub. This is more of an experiment then anything so if the jars end up with contams I won't be that upset about it, I'll just take it as a lesson to do things right next time haha
