So I have many jars that seem to be taking a long time for the mycelium to grow. I'm wondering if the material I use for GE on my lids are not the correct material. I use Painter's Coveralls and cut out squares for the small holes I have drilled on the jar lids. My oldest jars are the Ban Hau Thanon which I nocced up at 12/18/13 and they only look like there at 10-20% if that. So my question is are my jar lids correct with this material?? and how much GE is needed for optimum mycelium growth?? The holes for the GE are very small as shown in picture. Also do contaminates eventually take over the jar if the mycelium never takes hold?

man that cake is sweet. nice one . looks like the hole is big enough for good ge to me. the filter material should work fine too. maybe contammed? bacterial...look around the edges of your grains. if you see a light colored edging to them their hit by bact, it happens sometimes...gl

Thanks man. How long is the average time it takes to colonize a quart grain jar? I shook my jars early and it seemed to stop the colonization process dramatically.

cant really say man. depends on a lot of variables. ya, i never shake before 30% colonized. just shake once then and let her rip. also if you shake and it don't recolonize in a couple days. sign of contams usually...

Gotcha. Took a better look right now and It probably is contaminated. Grains are starting to get gooey/nasty looking, its happening surprisingly fast to! O well, I have brf jars from the same syringe that colonized just fine. Thanks for the help bro. I'm so eager to do g2g

Hey peeps! So I have 4 pint jars colonizing right now and I plan on using them as a grain LC. Before I do that I have a few questions  How many syringes can 1 pint jar make with it filled half way with rye?? When I'm done extracting from jars can they be stored and reused again to make more syringes?? Life span after extraction?? Is grain lc mycelium growth more aggressive than starting from spores?
A few days ago my hard drive fried so I lost all stored information from shroomery. If you would like to send a link to information about Grain LCs that would be greatly appreciated

This is the best LC tool you can find on the shroomery...

Used my LC to knock them up. 8 for 8

Thanks man for all the teks!! Hard drive fried a week ago and lost all data. Huge bummer for me. On the good side, I made some agar jars a few days ago following the "Just say NO to LC and YES to PDYA" I'm surprised how fast I see results from inoculating with spores. What do you think?? Definitely have a hard time seeing thru the glass jars :P first time with agar though.
