Quality of containers affect mycelium growth?
    #19298344 - 12/19/13 02:53 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So 6 weeks ago I started the growing process of the shroomies. I got 4 jars, 3 of them are 80% done and 1 just didn't grow at all. I expected it to grow faster since I did everything right and this is contained inside a glass fish tank with 3 garbage bags over it ( I put the garbage bags over it to protect it from any bacteria from trying to creep in my jars). One week ago, I made about 7 jars and they all are growing fine and very fast. These are in a cheap plastic storage container wrapped with 2 garbage bags. Does the glass not allow to any heat in to the container? Or could it possibly be that I put too many garbage bags over it? Has anyone ever had this problem? Thanks

Garbage bags over jars during colonization? Sounds like little to no air and light for them.

Take the garbage bags off and take the lids off the storage containers. You need some exchange and even mycelium wants some light when colonizing. The one that didn't start is def garbage. 6 weeks is a long time for the others to be only 80%. These are half pint BRF cakes I assume?

Do I take the foil off too? Yes these are half pint cakes. Ok, so I took off the garbage bags and put them on top of my closet shelf. Is there anything else I should know? Thanks guys.
