"Activating Jars" - Tapping the bottom
    #19298686 - 12/19/13 04:19 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

got some holidays and been reading lots on the shroomery

i've read some cultivator's regularly tap the bottom of the cube jars in order to "activate" or make the mycelium stronger. 

is this a solid tek?
i got several jars going ... should i be doing this every 2 or 3 days?

We only "shake" grains, not cakes, and we do this only once at about 30% colonization.

Shaking every few days would delay full colonization because of the recovery period.

Shaking does not make the mycellium "stronger" or "activate" it....it is simply to spread out inoculation points for faster colonization..

we use v-tek, its no shake.
we dont make spawn, it implies bulk.

were into BE and fert fortified grains,
and extreme invitro type grows.

pp5 contianers colonize fast anyway.
besides, i dont have time to shake a scale farm.
it would be growed out by the time i shook em all anyway.

I like doing a final shake at 100% and make sure that it recovers fine in a day or two.  Often helps identify any unseen contaminants that could be hitching a ride. I usually only do it with jars that are taking longer than normal to colonize/mycelium looks unhealthy.

As said above. straight cased grains and PF tek don't need to be shaken.
