Just checking im still on the right track - Pics and Q`s
    #19007172 - 10/21/13 05:43 AM (11 years, 2 months ago)

Hi Everyone

So i just birthed a few more jars. And have a few photos I would really appreciate some opinions on, just to ease the nerves.

Is it normal to see this much mycelium come through the dry verm barrier upon birthing. Would a less coars verm help with this?
Is it good or bad?

These are Hawaian which consolidated for 9 days. There are 3 more hawain Jars ready that i wanted to consolidate for longer. Should i rather birth them if the others ate up the dry verm?







Then I noticed some clear jelly like stuff on this Malabar cake. It smells like fresh mushroom. No funny odour. This was before I rinsed it. I hope you can see it on the pic




Hmm.. I was thinking of maybe making a grow log of this first grow. And uploading pics there and asking Q`s there. Would that be recommeded? Or should i just make new posts?

Yeah do a grow log. We all enjoy watching someone's grow come together and it's a great way to get feedback and ask questions about things you're unsure of. Your cakes look fine. Your verm is a little too course though. If you can't get finer verm you can always stick that course verm in a coffee grinder or blender and hit the button a couple times. Just don't get carried away and turn it into powder.

Usually that top layer of verm doesn't colonize like that unless it gets damp. It can get damp if you don't properly cover the jar when sterilizing or it can get damp if you leave the foil on during colonization. Always leave the holes on top open after you sterilize the jars

Btw I don't think that top layer of verm being colonized is going to hurt a thing :thumbup:

When I did cakes I put masking tape over the holes and then put foil over the jar really tight. When I took them out I would pull the foil off and poke my syringe right through the tape. Some times I would  just peel the  tape off before inoculating. Either way I left them completely uncovered after inoculation and my dry verm layer never got damp.

I used micropore on the holes but left the foil on till I inoculated the next day. Since then I have read that you remove foil right away so have done that with the jars since then. The ones in the pics are the ones that had foil on while cooling. :blush:

That could be the culprit. I think they'll be fine though. They look happy and healthy
