pf jars with pics! and questions... :)

So these are my babies I've been telling y'all so much about. It's been 6 days since conception (hehe) and they seem to be doing okay. There's just a few things I'm wondering about.
I have been told on here not to put the jars into an enclosed container so as to allow for FAE during colonization, these jars are in a container but i left the lid on diagonally so two of the corners are totally open to allow airflow.
The lid is mainly there to act as a dust cover and the container is there to keep any contaminants from invading from the surrounding area (clothes hanging in the closet, dirty clothes in pile in room, child running around getting into shit.)
It's more of a precaution than anything else.
If this is a bad idea please let me know and I'll take them out immediately.
One strange thing I've noticed is that the jars on the right side of the container are showing quite a bit of growth while the ones on the left have done nothing. It's the strangest thing.
I know different jars are going to show growth at different times It's just strange because it's like theres an imaginary line down the center of the container where nothing grows on one side and everything is speedy gonzales on the other.
Oh and this is a jar of lc i noc'd up the same day

Those are going to be some cute kids!
I believe the lid over the bin is fine. In my experience, I've never really noticed a difference between having them completely out of a container, and having them in a container, completely closed. Though I suppose I probably open it to look more than I should.

LC is kind of a lottery like that,, some are hella fast,, some are slow,, some make giant fruits, some make tiny fruits. I'm assuming that closet is usually in the dark, so placement in relation to light isn't really a factor?

That's fine.. where they are.. I used to use shoeboxes.. lol.
Also.. the jars don't need FAE when they're incubating.. just Gas Exchange from the inoculation holes.. what did you cover the holes with?
What did you use to make your LC? I've had great success with honey water LC's..
Good luck!

They'll be fine in the tub. There's plenty of air in there, and you'll be checking them at least every couple days anyway.
Is one side of your tub closer to an outside wall or something? If it's that obvious, I bet you have a temperature difference.

The lc is coming along great as far as I'm concerned (I used light corn syrup and water, I only recently leaned that more nutritious sugars are better).
It's the PF jars that are showing the inconsistency though.
All three walls of the closet are on the inside of the house and the back wall even has another closet behind it so there's room between the jars and the outdoors.
There's no light in the closet but i was considering getting a small flourescent bulb just to provide some light as RR has suggested it allows for earlier pinning and maybe provide a degree or 2 of extra warmth (not that they need it).
As far as what the holes are covered with, I used medical paper tape to cover them before i sterilized and inoculated and then rubbed the noc hold with alcohol and placed a fresh piece of tape over it (never removing the initial piece of tape of course).
I know it's not micropore tape but i was extremely sterile and with two of them it provides an extra barrier.

Looks great, and nice sized cakes be careful with knocking too many jars up with LC before testing and birthing one jar with LC! LCs are often contamed
remember to smell cakes thoroughly before birthing! , any smell that isnt pleasant fresh mushroom smell, throw it out
fresh mushrooms smell so good you want to smell them again ;-) , like champignons maybe, but not quite
and #1 rule, dont use an incubator, no need, it might help contams grow faster if you use one so dont room temp at a shelf is fine
I store my jars on any shelf I have, in any room light is not a problem, it helps colonization
mushrooms first pin when all nutrients are used up iirc... so if they pin halfways through it is because of contam likely... check the cake if they pin when 100% colonzied it is time for birthing
but always wait a week after 100% colonization before birthing, to make the mycellium take hold of the sub

Sounds like fantastic advice, but that LC is my first batch.
The jars are noc'd with spores though but i will keep it in mind when i use my LC in the future.
Why is it that LC's are so prone to contamination?

www.mushroomvideos.com ; , there be no questions ;-)
check it for the SGFC part, birthing etc. (pftek video)
a drawer is good for storing colonizing jars in too
LC: bacteria is a big issue often, and all kinds of mold contams mold wont always grow out in every jar test 2-3 jars to be sure, ½ pint is best to test on, you waste less if one is contamed
bacteria can be smelled... give your cakes a good sniff before birthing, should be pleasant fresh mushroom smell
shake LC syringes well before inoculation....

You should learn to love waiting, cuz you'll be doing lots of it. Imagine your grow like a clock...even though it changes every second, watching it won't make it come faster.
Patience...and what I've heard referred to as the neglect tek...just leave'm....oh, and patience 
Good luck brother!

I'll show you a big fruit... hehe (sorry couldn't resist)
and I know! I just have no life pretty much outside of working and taking care of my boy and he's still very, very young so the days are loooong.
It feels like i inoculated like 2 weeks ago and it's only been 6 days!
But I know that patience will pay off, I've been waiting 4 years for the space and opportunity to do this right and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let my impatience get in the way now.

Right on bro thanks for the well wishes and welcome to the shroomery as I see your a new user! I don't know how much research you've done or if you've had any experience in the past but what I can tell you is that this is an amazing place to learn. There are plenty of experienced people here with a wealth of information that they are more than kind enough to share. and one thing I can tell you is that I have been perusing this site for 4 years and I still learn new things every day so even if you spend all day on here for a year there will still be more to know.

Before I switched to mono tubs, I would stack all my jars on a shelf in the closet. The tape on the lid, the dry verm layer all provide adequate protection from contams. So IMO putting them in the tub is just personal preference and if it gives you peace of mind, continue to do so.
If you are concerned about the different growth rates, spin the tub around 
Good job on the LC, and the jars thus far. advice, ditch the PF tek ASAP and get into tubs, you'll thank me later.

Yeah that's what I've been told for a couple years, bulk subs and agar are the way to go. 
I just want to do one or two successful pf's to make sure I have my technique down and know what contams to look for around my house/where is safe to colonize because every house could be different.
Though we all know bathrooms and kitchens are the worst, you never know what kind of crap could be hiding in the dry wall in your closet or spare bedroom.
Spinning the tub around is an idea I definitely hadn't thought of haha

Totally turned the tub around this morning and saw that the colonization is definitely spreading to most of them it was just on the backsides of some of the ones i thought weren't doing anything. But that's okay now I can keep an eye on my babies knowing the ones I can't see are already booming (1 or 2 already look to be around 40-50%!)
What I think happened is sporestore.com is cheap on the spore:water ratio in their syringes and some jars got a-lot and others got very little.
I know, I know "What were you thinking D?! They aren't a Shroomery sponsor!!" Short answer, I wasn't. Not to worry, it will be the last time I make that mistake even if all goes well.
Order came in for 10 syringes and 2 were AFU, didnt even make it to my house intact and the rest had the plungers partially depressed and due to settling beforehand had spores bunched into the syringe-needle connection area (if that makes any sense at all) and these guys can't even respond to their customers, which I found out from alot of other people after doing some research.
It's ok though, at least the spores are viable. Do what I can with what I have.

It's not the amount of spores in your syringe. Less spores is better. You only need 2.

I understand it only takes 2 but how could less be better?
By the very nature of how the spores branch out and link together to form the mycelium it would seem to me that (for the same volume of water) more spores => more opportunities for these branches to occur => faster colonization time.
I mean for an agar plate I could see why too much could be unnecessary but for pf jars? I would think the faster you can make things happen the less chance there is for contams to sneak in.
I'm still inexperienced though so this is merely a hypothesis based on what I understand about the biology of fungus.

More spores = more competing strains. Sure, your jar might colonize faster, but isn't your goal to get mushrooms? All those strains competing will slow everything down/fuck things up once you go to try to get a pinset.

Oohh really? So is that another reason its better to start with LC in jars? (besides the fact that the mycelial formation stage is already complete)

Who the hell said that LC is better?
It's best to start on agar for many reasons.

I mean it's better to use LC on BRF jars than using spores haha. and I was figuring based on what you said about too many spores creating competing strains, you may shoot 1,000 spores between 4 holes on a jar vs creating an LC from a small squirt of maybe 100 thus less competing strains...?
I think even most noobs know that Agar is better than LC if just for the simple fact that you can easily spot contams.

But it's still not. LC is too unreliable.

That's not how it works. They create one organism, and you're still gonna get a fuckload of strains competing.
If you have to use LC, inoculate it with an agar wedge.

Ok I'm starting to get it.
So there's not really any reason I would need to make an LC really is there?
I mean if I have the means to do Agar and pasteurize grain then I could just kinda forget all about LC's huh?

You sterilize grain, not pasteurize but yeah you pretty much got it.

Oh i thought only the pf jars and agar could be sterilized, I had read somewhere that due to the nature of the grains it was impossible to kill all the microorganisms and spores in it so the best you could ever do is pasteurize.
You can overcook the grain too can't you?

Grain, agar, cakes, etc are sterilized. Bulk substrates are pasteurized.
You can overcook your grain while hydrating, but you can't over-sterilize as long as you're not getting water from your PC into your jars. The worst that happens is your PC can run out of water and warp or crack the jars.

AHA! Ok cool, god I learn so much from everyone on this site, I can't wait til I'm experienced enough to pass on some of this knowledge to others that need it.
So once I have a colonized plate of Agar I would want to sterilize a jar of grain (if I have large bags with filter patches from Outgrow could this serve the same purpose as the jar?), throw a slice or two in there (hehe like tiny pizza) and let it do it's thing, then pasteurize some bulk and mix all that up into a monotub once the grain spawn is colonized riiiight?

You could, yeah, but you'd do better to colonize a jar from your agar then G2G that into your bag. Colonization would end up much faster.

Sweeeet, could I colonize a small jar like a half pint or pint of grain to G2G the bag?
I mean I know it doesn't take much and I've got the world's smallest pressure cooker to work with here lolol.

anyone know how to store LC for best shelf life?
seems mine always die after 2½-4 months, honey LC :-(
always store in refriderator, that seems to be max shelf life for me
I want a LC that will last a year... maybe put wood into it? like we do with slants? would that work?

Sweeet! Now I can put off buying a bigass pressure cooker! Haha
And to mil, I could have sworn that I heard somewhere that LC can be frozen it just takes off very very slowly once thawed out.
Either that or I believe there is an LC to LC transfer teK on here somewhere where you suck up a syringe worth of viable LC and put it into fresh medium to give it more food.
Of course there's a lot of info on here I read years ago that has since been disputed/disproven...
You could just make slants to store and throw together your LC as needed.

or you could skip the LC process and be quicker and more clean and avoid having to test out your LC by keeping slants, petris, agar around. with cubes LC is like taking a road trip from maine to flordia and stopping in california to get gas that makes your car go twice as fast
