Consolidation time??
    #18932358 - 10/04/13 05:50 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hi all,

First grow-pf tek consolidation question.

I have 12 jars that have been fully colonized for about a week now. I know this is about the time I should be birthing them, but the problem is I am going out of town next week for a few days.

My question is will my results be affected by leaving them in the jars for 2 weeks before birthing? I have read that it's better to leave them in a little longer than not long enough. Will 2 weeks after 100% colonizing be too much?  The jars are looking good now.

On a side note,
I created these jars from several spore prints taken from caps picked in my back yard (horses) b+? Florida. I am very impressed how good everything is looking so far being my first time. Just don't want anything to go wrong from leaving them in the jars too long.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Throw them in the fridge until you get back. The cool temperatures will stall the mycelium until you're ready to use them.

What would be the downside if I did not refrigerate?

Update,

I did not refrigerate my jars. When I got back in town I had about 8 mushrooms total growing in the 12 jars. Some jars had them and some did not. I dunked and rolled and put into the sgfc. It has now been six days since birthing and everything is looking good. The pins that were in the jars are growing somewhat mutated. Some of the caps are a little flat I'm guessing from being pressed against the walls of the jars.
The new growth is looking good. Some of the new pins have very light colored heads on them. Almost all white. What is that from?

All in all things are looking good.
