A nice idea to do a side by side but. . . its meaningless if its not a monoculture After my side pin and slatting experiments are concluded I plan to do something like this to see if a) it colonizes any quicker and b) to see if there are any differences in yield. I got just the isolate in mind as well.

in my experience i've seen much slower colonization when i've shaken my jars before 20-30%.

Oh I agree, I just want to do the experiment and post the results so I can have a ready link for people who don't seem to buy in to the idea. If my hypothesis is disproved by said experiment then fantastic, I may change my methods, or at least run another experiment with different genetics until consistent results are obtained.

IME ( one shook jar lol) the shaking revealed a contam the very next day. Is it possible then that a shake on a suspect jar might give you the verdict faster?

I have done this and its not a bad way to reveal a contam but, that is the only time/reason that I would do that. Usually when I shake jars (especially more than once) I find that the colonization speed will slow incremetaly after each shake. Then when/if you get to the spawn run it takes forever

I am not doubting you have experience in the matter, but I do doubt that you shook a perfectly good jar more than once. More likely is that these jars you have shaken more than once were already problem jars.

I have been impatient before. I will try most things once, ill advised or not. I do things that are recommended not to do all the time, just to see how they turn out. I have run no hole monos, no holes in bottom of SGFC, jar lids with no holes, not lined tubs and trays, used micropore tape instead of poly on monotub holes, used LC, tried hay as a sub, bucket tek, slatting tek, thin subs, thick subs, pint size pf cakes, popcorn, made FC's with foggers fans & pumps, ghetto ass agar, open air inoculations, outdoor inoculations, fractionalization, shaken jars after ms inoculation, etc, etc. I could probably fill a book with ill advised shit that I have tried.
Some of these things worked well for me, some were complete fails, some were just ok. Along the way I tried a lot of recommended shit that worked really well too. The result was I got a pretty good idea of what corners I can cut, which ones I can't, and why some shit that just seems easy doesn't work.
I have shaken grain master jars more than once

Still though, shaking may or may not be what causes you to have a stalled myc.

Ok I won't argue that. I think that I am now resolved to do a side by side experiment, just to get to the bottom of this, I have seen a few people questioning this, and I know of at least one TC that swore by multiple shakes. If and when I complete this side by side results shall be posted.

An update before work, no pictures as of right now, battery is charging -
The one I shook is doing remarkably well, perhaps 30-50% colonized ( depending on center that cannot be seen )
Compared to 10-15% of the unshaken -
All in all, we will see in the long run.

Like citric I am a multiple shake kinda guy. Done it with iso's and ms alike and any stalling that happened was due to a contam and have never seen a healthy jar stall due to shaking, if that were the case g2g would be a littleriskier

IME a jar shaken at 30% will more evenly distribute the grains from 30% my hats usually colonizers in about 4 or less days

The shaken one is going so quick I think its off to the fridge so the other ones can catch up to it.

Hmm could possibly break up one of these giant white pills in med cabinet and add to sub to kill the yeast?
