First time growing
    #19151775 - 11/17/13 08:53 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I left the lids on my pf tek jars without poking holes in them first. It has been 4 weeks. Has the mycelium died? If I poke holes in the lids will the mycelium resume growth? Also im sorry if this post has shown up several times. It is not showing it on my comp so idk if  it is or not. I am a beginner please be nice, thanks.

Your mycelium may grow if you put the holes for gas exchange in the lid.  Did you get any growth at all or did they stall out half way?

You should definitely start another project in case this one doesn't turn out.

I left them at my parents house because I live in a dorm and I have not been there in a month to check on them..... I also did an experiment jar that I left outside without a top on under a bridge... and if this doesn't work I will DEFINITELY start a new project (I want some shrooms)

So lemme get this straight.

You inoculated jars with the lids off but you didn't have holes in the lid and you put the lids back on before you went to the dorm for awhile.

You have not seen the jars since?

i agree with aomoria to some extent... yes you need to do more research but uve done enough to realize you have made a mistake... if your myc is still growing its not to late to put holes into your jars..

I don't know man. I'm usually the person who's really really positive about these kinds of things. 

They're certainly not going to be grown and ready for you to pick as soon as you get home. If they are fully colonized and not contaminated or stalled out then the surviving jars you're going to have to put into a fruiting chamber and pay attention to them.  You won't be able to just leave them while they fruit, you'll have to be there to mist and fan and promote evaporation off the cakes.

Other then that this is all a big 'maybe.'

We don't know how sterile you were when you inoculated the jars.  What was your inoculation procedure?  Did you do it in the open air or in a glove box? Did you flame the needle before inoculating each jar?  Did you steam sterilize or pressure sterilize the jars?  What was the recipe you used for the substrate?  What are the ambient temperatures of the places the jars are colonizing?  Did you have a barrier of dry vermiculite as the top layer?  Did you wear gloves and sanitize your hands? Are the jars receiving any ambient light?  Was the syringe purchased from a reliable source or did you make it yourself?  For that matter did you even use a syringe or did you use some other form of inoculate?  How many days have passed since inoculation?

Mysteries like these flow as rivers through-out our cosmos.

:whathesaid: completely agree but ive seen some crazy stuff on here like agar petris growing pins.. no you wont have mushys in your jars but they may be fully colonized and even if they did stall poking holes into the lid now may introduce enough ge for them to continue their growth.. myc from a 1 month spectrum from inoculation to death is unlikely just because of lack of ge... RR had agar petris in a shed for 6 months or so in 100+ F to 36- F and they were still "alive" when he found them. But your jar that u left with the lid off outside is prolly contaminated knocked over or just gone... i have no faith for that jar.

If they do colinize and you cant be there to take care of em you could leave em in a room that gets light during the day and they might grow invitro but you will not get much that way..
