A whack of questions about my project
    #18952213 - 10/08/13 10:45 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

This is my second project, after my last disaster. I've inoculated what I assumed was enough for about three monotubs, which would have been 20 1/2 pint jars of BRF.

Most of the jars have been colonized for the first run, although I have ended up discarding a few and will probably end up with 15 cakes, which will after be used for spawn.

There's a few things, though, that aren't covered in my tutorials for this, which are:

1) Why must I discard jars with black mold? What makes it similar to green mold, or is it green mold?

2) A couple of my jars, which grew at a rapid speed far outpacing the other jars, started getting a yellow sheath at parts. What is this, myc piss? Are they toast?

3) How do I know when a jar is 'fully colonized'?

4) I've been left with a few jars, that after a few weeks, haven't grown any mycelium and simply are the BRF mixture with wet spots on them. Should I shake them?

5) Should I be shaking all of the jars throughout colonization to speed up growth on various days?

6) When a jar IS fully colonized, how long do I leave it to consolidate, and what does that mean exactly? What is the whole 'shocking' in the fridge scenario, or casing? Is this required for a monotub?

7) How big of a monotub (in liters) should I use for fifteen 1/2 pint (250 ml) jars?

8) Can I still use the contaminated jars for a small pf tek project somewhere else? People have suggested that contamination is deadly, but I've heard that as long as you can get shrooms out of the mycelium they are 100% usable.

I am no expert by any means, but I will say if you have contam jars get them away from your other jars, don't open them in your house as you can release the spores into the air and all over your stuff messing up future projects. As far as your other questions, use the search bar there is a huge amount of info here at your disposable. I personally try to read the stuff with trusted cultivators or things that are more recent. Just in case there is outdated info.
