first grow...log. costa rican brf spawn to coir
    #18975991 - 10/14/13 10:34 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

So for my first grow ever i have decided to go with costa ricans in a brf jar then spawn to coir.

JARS:
i preped 18 jars with 2:1:1 ratio of verm:water:brf with a dry verm layer at the top. i steam sterilized for 2 hours then waited 3 hours then inoculated with hydrated spores in my ghetto glove box. i have 2 holes at the top of my jars for ge and inoculation. im using micropore tape to cover while colonizing.

LC:
for my lc i used 6% karo to 94% water in a baby bottle steam sterilized for 20 min waited 2 hours then sealed the top with silicon cok to create a resealing syringe port. waited 2 more hours to dry and cool then inoculated with 1 cc of costa rican. its been 3 days now i see some signs of life. i notice in this pic my lc looks piss yellow it isnt its only because the carpet and the jars behind it.. the karo did not carmalize.



Questions:
there are 2 small black crumbs in my lc.. could this be a contamination?
what are some suggestions one would give to a new grower who has done their research?

Afterthought:
This is a very fun hobby and i enjoy it very much and i would like to introduce myself to everyone on the forum because i think im going to stick around here for a while. So hello im silverstem i am a new grower who is always happy to learn something new. i hope everyone here is welcoming. i will update this grow log at every sign of growth/wins/fails. stay tuned and enjoy the ride.

My guess is that those black crumbs are bits of ash (from flame sterilization) that fell off the needle.  The ash should be sterile and harmless to the LC.

I'd hit it.

That could be true i guess the only way i could find out is to inoculate some new jars... il work on adding 4 more jars when the lc is ready. also after doing more research ive noticed i dont have an agitator in my lc to break up the myceluim how big of a problem is this?

LC's from spores are sketchy.

Be sure to run a test jar with it first.

Yes agar is the way to go, I haven't been growing recently but when I start back up I'm moving on to agar. At first it may seem a bit overwhelming, but once you do a lot of research on it and read others experiences with it it really doesn't seem all that hard, especialy compared to the benefits.

Haha congrats on both of your grows! I hope they both grow big and healthy. I'm a new grower so I like to watch peoples grow logs and learn from them. I wish I could give some advice, but good luck!

You'll probably be in love with the hobby by then and won't be able to quit, lol.

But you can switch to edibles/medicinals if you want to continue though!

A trick for using tall half pints, is during inoculation if you
slightly tilt the jar. You can allow the spore solution to run down
the inside of the glass. Creating a larger germination spot, and
especially with those it helps having germination start close to
the bottom.
Often times the tall ones can take longer to finish colonizing, as
the substrate tends to settle in the bottom over time making it
harder for the Mycelium to colonize.
These are my go to even if I'm able to find the glass short half pints.
Steam and PC safe and reusable. Glad short half pints, just over 8 oz
and work perfect.


These Ziploc are a close second. Also short half pints.


Good luck to you!

Update: my lc failed but thats okay.. honestly i wanted to wait it out and take an isolate to agar when this grow is finished...

ANOTHER JAR HAS GROWTH..
so im about a week in. 14 of my 16 jars have growth. for our first grow so far so good.

i just want to take a moment to thank everyone that has helped so far. this isnt my grow its our grow. without everyone here i couldnt have done it... so everyone that has helped so far has been repped 5 shrooms! thank you all. i will keep this updated.
