should I shake these? PIC
    #19259955 - 12/11/13 12:37 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hi guys,

these jars were inoculated with GLC(left) around 2 weeks and a half ago, have never been shaken so I'm wondering if at this point is worth a shake since they are 90+ % colonized. Any benefit to shake them at this point, or should i let them finish colonization without shake?

Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert :smile:

But I thought the whole idea behind shaking was to spread the mycelium around, thus speeding up the process of colonization. So I believe that shaking your jars at such an advanced point of colonization would have little to no effect. Beautiful jars though!

the reason I didn't shake them was to sort of slow them down because I have another batch that I inoculated at a later date and I wanted to catch up with my first batch(9 jars first batch and 5 second batch),they are 2 weeks apart. I don't think is happening

welp, maybe then I'll shake them, since I'm trying to close the gap between 2 batch of jars inoculated 2 weeks apart, how long would it take to recover on average?These are my first grains so not much experience

If you shake those I bet it would take 2-3 days for them to be 100% and ready to use then you'll want to shake them again. Post a pic if you shake them after 24 and 48 hours.

in the time it takes to recover they probly would have finished anyway, then your just gonna break them up again but it's a prefrence thing i guess

and I would shake just to make sure they recover in 24 hours or so, to see if u might have some sort of contamination...

I had hidden contams on my jars the last couple runs...picked up that little trick on these forums.

That makes sense. I will shake them, however I also inoculated 13 brf jars with the same GLC and they all 100% colonized already with no contams, so should be ok.

Should they be pasty white in 24-48 hours after the shaking?

I would say closer to 48 to recover fully.  I do my g2g's and shake at ~90% just to make sure there are no contaminates.

Personally, I'd allow them to colonize ALL grains. I'm facing the same dilemna with spawn bags. It actually really isnt a dilemna as the bags were shaken at 30%, now I just wait.

BEFORE spawning to bulk, when at 100%, you could shake them to give the myc a day or two head start. By the time you spawn to bulk, a day or two later, the myc is looking nice and sexy.

But yeah, I'd just wait it out until 100% is colonized.

It would just be a waste of the myc's limited energy at this point.
