Waiting On Consolidation is so HARD!
#19221531 - 12/03/13 10:57 AM (10 years, 1 month ago) |

Am I the only one who looks at his jars going through consolidation and go bonkers waiting on them? I have some Penis Envy on popcorn that is going through consolidation now and I just can't wait for next Monday when they are scheduled to be dropped into the SGFC. Right behind them I have some B+ growing on BRF cakes that will be just a few days more.
The waiting and anticipation is killing me. Am I the only one who goes through the cravings for some growing action every time I do a set of jars?

I have 3 jars that will begin consolidation in a couple of days, and a few more right behind those. This is my first time and I decided to go with treasure coast. My first cakes will go into the fc in a little over a week and I can't fricking wait.

I was like that my first set of jars. Now I just let them be, knowing they will do better if I'm not messing with them 50 times a day!

Once you get something fruiting you wont have time to check on jars colonizing/consolidating

Strait grains into the SGFC? Not a good idea. G2G that jar to 10 more then spawn them to bulk.
Also, if you're having problems waiting, read more & do more research & start another project.

Do you mean consolidation or colonization? Grain jars, like popcorn, don't need to consolidate before you spawn them. Just cakes before you birth them. Consolidation of colonized bulk substrates is really optional.

Oh I know patience is key here. The first grow I did I couldn't help but to look at em daily. The grows I'm doin now I don't even touch the jars for a couple weeks now but that don't mean its not buggin me to see how they are doin. I usually let them sit untouched for 2 weeks min before I Check for progress then see where to go from there once I assess the situation.
Sorry for that triple reply my iPhones tweaking out on me

It's not really bulk. I just lay them out in trays, no casing, and let it do its thing.

You'll have more success spawning them to bulk.

I know. I'm just a little med grower so I don't need big production facilities as I am only growing for my own consumption.

I don't have the room in the SGFC to spawn to bulk. I have to leave room for the BRF cakes that will be coming up for placement in the tub pretty soon themselves.

or If your Afraid of large grow. Do... this.
go to the Grocery store and get the Cake/Serving trays. tin trays that come with the plastic dome cover.
 1 Qt JAr or spawn 1/2 Brick of Coir 1 quart verm
Pasteurize and Mix like normal Mono-tub including trash bag liner., instead of Mono-tub, it's a mini-tub and it doesn't Need a SGFC. I get three flushes on mine by just picking up the lid and fanning / misting 2 - 3 times a day. Depending on Strain and isolation strength, easily get 2+Oz.
