Few questions just began growing
    #18804211 - 09/05/13 05:09 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hey I just started growing and I obtained 2 syringes of the koh samui super strain any way I inoculated like 7 pf jars and a lc with the two syringes I know that's over kill but I wanted it to work, anyway after a few days I had one inoculation point growing mycelium on one jar and the rest nothing. I waited like 2 and a half weeks and nothing. I used a sponsor for the syringes but i dont think they were very good. I was getting frustrated and I had seen a post about putting a chunk of mycelium in sterile water shaking it up and inoculating with that and I busted open the one jar with some growth steralised a spoon and pulled out the mycelium chunk and put it in the sterile water broke it up and inoculated with that. It worked awesome I have 10 jars going for like a week and there almost fully colonized I have 3 LC,s going off it all looking awesome. Anyway besides just introducing myself the whole point of my post is to really identify why my original jars never took off. I did everything by the book except incubation and I've read in the original pf tek that a normal room temp is fine so I'm left to believe its the spores .  Besides the jars I got going with the mycelium water I have 4 wbs quart jars and some more pf jars I inoculated yesterday with syringes I got from 2 other vendors I'm hoping my problem is the spores I obtained and not something I'm doing.  The only thing I can think of I'm not doing is properly incubating but the jars going now are growing quickly and it's warm in my apartment.  I have read to put them in a box on your refrigerator to help incubate them and I just pulled a bunch of crap of my fridge leading me to my second question,  is the top of my fridge supposed to be warm from like a motor or something cuz mines not its pretty cold up there.

I have noticed kss colonizing slow lately. But the real question is how long did you let your jars cool? Pics would benawesome, you can tell a lot from a pic. Oversaturation can stall growth and promote rot. Whats your recipe for pf? And most off all congrats on opening anjar and gettig a clean lc from one site.

You could try the tit tek, I have found that in warmer climates with my ac on 78 I dont need it for cakes. I do however use it for grain. I think you have it all correct, so I don't know. Happy birthing when the time comes. I try to keep all items away from the kitchen, it always seems like the best place to pick up a contam.

It could be any number of reasons why those jars didn't grow but the lack of an incubator is not one of them. Anywhere between 68 and 80 degrees is fine. 75 to 78 is ideal

Ok that's awesome because I've read water in an incubator leads to contamination and I'd rather just not spend the money thx
