Nice grow so far OP :cheers:

Looking good mang, It looks like you are using 1/4 pint jars you might want to get some wide mouth 1/2 pint jars. i use the 1/4 pints for my agar.

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, I accidentally ordered these from picture only hastily on Amazon.  I have ordered these for the future, at least, if I keep growing (it's pretty interesting so far) I will go more advanced with the grain, and agar and stuff.  I will only be needing these jars for the pf tek part, right?  Still learning about that stuff.

Small update:  Jars are coming along nicely, no signs of contamination (I think), and one jar is almost white completely, and all the others are going along fine.....I'd say ten days, to fourteen days and I'll be ready to birth/dunk/roll.  I'm working on my SGFC (shotgun fruiting chamber) so I'll post pics later for critique, also.  As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.  Thanks for all you guy's feedback.








Can someone point me to beginners grain/bulk/mono stuff?  I want to finish the verm and brown rice I have (two more cycles) then do something that will yield more fruit.  Also, I'm a chef, and I'd probably do a gourmet edible grow then magic grow and alternate like that....thanks for your help!

Meant to say ten-fourteen days until full colonization THEN the week of setting THEN birthing...

Well, They're at 95% colonization now.  Pictures to come tomorrow morning.  I'm going to wait nine more days before birthing.

Here are some pictures of colonization, and also my SGFC for your critique.  i am very anxious to birth these puppies, but I keep hearing in Yoda's voice "The boy has no patience" and I say "He will learn patience!"

Anyway, I am buying a light this week and I already have a timer for it for 12/12 lighting.  Also a clean spray bottle for misting.

I still use one of those exact tubs with great success.
:smug:
And of course other fruiting contraptions of my own.


Lookin good man.

Edit:
Forgot to add, you might already know.
To be sure your FC sits at least three feet
off of the ground and have it lifted at least
3-4 inches off of whatever the FC sits on.

I usually use my old tall half pints under
the four corners, maybe one out two in the
middle for support.

Thanks everyone!!! 

I have received the Glad lock "jars" and mixed the verm and brf and sterilized them all.  I did eight jars.  I inoculated them a few minutes ago.  I used the "B+" spore syringe for these.  I will keep everyone updated as to my progress with those, also.  Everything seemed to go faster and easier with the plastic containers.  I was still just as careful, too, with being very clean, so, we'll see.  Thanks again for your positive feedback everyone!  I am very excited about this whole thing, and it's very calming going through the steps and watching everything go.


EDIT, PICTURES:

PF cakes never get old...at least to me!
Grains are great too, but cakes will forever
have my heart.

The plastic jars just seem to give me good
vibes. I know the jars have nothing to do
with it, but these are only 4 going on 5 days
in here soon. Great growth.
I can't tell you how many packs I've bought
just incase they stopped selling them...



Not trying to steal your thread brother, just wanna send
some good vibes your way!

I birthed the cakes a little while ago, and they are now soaking for 18 hours.  I am so excited!  All the cakes smelled very fresh and mushroomy, and they all were firm.  No discoloration at all.

My plastic containers are showing signs of colonization, also at the inoculation points.  That one will be good!

I'll post some pics of the complete setup tomorrow once it's up and running after the roll.

Why are you only soaking for
18 hours?  Glad to heart the great
news on your freshly birthed cakes!

Soak for 24 hours. Cakes are really dense and take a long time to soak up water

OF course, I watched the videos again, and did a lot of reading while I was waiting, and I don't remember where I got the 18 hour thing.  Another six hours will be the 24 hour mark where I will set everything up.  I caught myself, lol!  I think one of the videos I watched had the text say 18-24 hours for the soak, so maybe that's where, but I am finishing the 24 hour soak today.

I grind my own brown rice also. I try and grind the
Brown rice as fine as possible, seems to offer the
best results IMO. Coffee bean grinders work amazing,
I usually find good cheap ones at my local goodwill.


Keep up the good work.
