pierre2008 said: Expert cultivators, I recently read the following, do you agree?
"To speed up development jars and bags should be shaken regularly to distribute the colonised kernels throughout the substrate every few days. When the grain is completely covered with mycelium it's ready for further use."
is this correct ??
No......Shake grain jars at about 20-30% and thats it.
More shaking might actually set u back because of the recovery time.
It usually takes 48 hours for them to fully recover.....you would be leaving hardly any time for the mycellium to spread if shaken every few days.

My mexicana A bag was at 25% colonization So I shook the bag and crumbled the chunks of mycelium into small bits to spread it through bag. Hope that's the procedure?
The pf-tek jars are at 20% however, the vermiculite reaches the top of the jar. so there is nothing to shake?? Or does the shaking bring more air?
sorry for the newbie questions.
