colonization times
    #19029333 - 10/25/13 01:43 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I have several straw logs that have been incubating for a month and 1 or 2 have been 6 weeks. They are all strains of Oyster and the room temps have been 75-80. Humidity has been around 70 80%, low I know but the logs have condensate under the bags so I figure it's moist enough in them. I have good air flow and enough holes for good fae. So should I wait or chuck em. Some are half colonized others less.

An Oyster straw log will be fully colonized in 8 to 10 days.  If not, you have something very wrong so toss them out and start over.

Depends on: spawn rate.  if you have patches that are not colonized it is likely that bacteria took over in those spots. Generally, we hope to be pinned up in 30 days.  this picture is of brat oyster 27 days from inoculation.
certainly, if you arent colonized in thirty days on paturized straw you are in deep shit.  This is one of the advantages of sterilizing substrate in filter bags.  You have a much longer window for colonization.  if the logs are in clear bags, you can continue to observe them but you will likely begin to see mold growing soon.

I am new to this and jumped in WAY to fast and WAY to deep!!!! I am going over what I did and I think my mistakes, at least some of them, are that my bags are to wet and that due to life I had to wait to after pasteurizing my straw to stuff logs. So after 2-3 days I re-pasturized it to be safe. So a complete redo is in order. What do you guys use to gauge your water content? It did not drip how ever a month after the fact and with now added humidity some still have condensation inside. I also have admit that due to my set up I can not use heat as a pasteurization method so I used the bleach and lyme tech. I've since learned not to use bleach just the hydrated lyme. So thanks very much for all the help and info any comments will be learning experiences..... THANKS
