The burning/itch is half the fun.
Wait we are talking about substrate, not my vag.

same here, same here.. while the others look moderatley the same to the naked eye as when I shook, I think their colonizing inwards faster than wide.
Also just went to three stores looking for widemouths, none had them >.<
Decided to buy more mono's while I was there -

If I shook the other ones, how would I have a control variable?

I figured the experiment was complete lol
I guess we still don't know if the whole grow faster but fruit less thing is true.
I doubt it to begin with though.
SHAKE! lol

I think shaking the ones that are going slow and witnessing exploding growth, would validate the experiment?

If this experiment begins with and finished with a more controlled atmosphere, I believe it will be a more pragmatic and efficent method of changing the misconception of " shaking " which is to say as a determental factor in mycellium growth prior to 1/3 colonization.

I guess, in the hopes of changing some minds it should be carried out in a more meticulous way.
Will these be fruited separately by any chance? That would help tell if it does anything down the road.

Just an update.
Thinking about shaking all other jars now.

Agreed. It will also validate any findings in the eyes of the OMC where ms experiments will only be written off as a one off case of genetics. I do feel that these results are encouraging and if it can be demonstrated that multiple shakes will not negatively affect yield I can tell you what my practice going forward will be

I agree. Though there were not multiple shakes - the jar was shaken one time at around 5-8% Growth. As of right now, this control situation is only to reflect on shaking upon intial growth sight as opposed to waiting until further colonization.

Interesting, I always found that shaking too early always resulted in not being able to disperse enough nock points, which ended up creating large pockets that took longer to fill in, compared to shaking at 30%. Might because I usually use rye and don't have as many nock points. I should run another with straight millet and another with rgs to see what works for what (I am totally gonna run this with an isolate).
If you only shook once I totally doubt that yield could be affected negatively.

I shook three out of these six the other day aswell, I will take a photo and include my data from when I shook, and inoculation dates aswell as colonization levels prior to shaking.
This is fun, the only bad thing is watching these take off with growth, and become colonized very quickly as compared to the others that were not shaken upon signs of intial growth, and to still ask myself why I havent already shaken the other 8-10 jars by now.
