Yes you deff do want to get a sab though. Just sayin. Your not going to want to do things like g2g and agar work like this.
I actually did a still air bag once too lol. Just take a rubber kitchen glove and put it on. Then tape a clear trashbag around your wrist, fold the glove down around the taped bag and tape again. Voila
Though I guess that would be more a sterile air bag than a still air one. The air moves around as you move your hand, more so than a box cause the bag is attached to your hand and thusly moving with it and causing more airflow. But you can wipe down the inside after attaching it to your wrist with whatever material u like, I used antibacterial mr clean and then I sprayed air disinfectant aswell. It worked.

I started this project under the impression that it wasn't going to be perfect. I didn't have a lot of faith in my ability to keep an SAB absolutely SAB and not just screw it up somehow, but I'm sure in the future I will ask more specific questions surrounding them and making sure I've got a good procedure for next time.
I mean, I didn't even know how to screw on the needle to my syringe when I was trying to inoculate. This entire thing is like a new learning experience to me, so I am just going with the flow and trying to turn up some positive results.
I will be ecstatic if I can even come out with 2 or 3 of my jars uncontaminated during my incubation process. And I'll be happy if any mycelium is growing at all in my jars.

No I didn't use permits in cakes, that wouldn't be intelligent at all. And my jars colonized pretty quickly though I think I just got lucky with genetics.

Just a quick update, since I know some of you guys are following now. Since my inoculation on Monday, I still have no signs of growth. No bacteria, no nothin. Temp in and around the jars is constantly over 70 degrees. Very surprised actually to not see anything yet, not even mold or bacterial growth and I'm beginning to wonder if something is wrong.
But I will wait for more experienced responses and for more growth obviously.
That's all for now. Again, pics will come once there is growth of course.

2 weeks is a lot when you put so much time and effort into something though you gotta understand that by now.

2 weeks is fuck all and if you wanna see time and effort you should see what i've done for my last grow, and trust me i understand how it feels but you must believe us when we say patients is key around here, things don't happen on our time it's up to the spores, if you wish to ignore all these issues get into agar but even then from spore it could take up to..you guessed it 2 weeks

It kills me though that, you have no idea if your gamble will work or not until 2 weeks is up and your jars may or may not be fucked with contams

I have absolutely no problem continuing to wait. I am a really healthy guy with a lot of other fun things going on in his life, and I work like a dog all week at a job I love, so until the mushies show me their sweet faces, I'll continue working in the hopes that they are working as well.
I'm not the kind of person who will lose his patience or cry if it doesn't work out.
Will continue to update you guys as time goes by, even with the smaller changes.

Now that you think of it, maybe that's part of it.
Since we're waiting around, I'll tell you guys a little bit about myself. I won't get too off topic, just call it my version of "facts about me", or something like that.
1. I have never tripped on psycehdelics once in my life 2. I more or less quit drinking alcohol entirely about 2 months ago. 3. I haven't smoked weed in over a month, and no more than a few times in 2013. 4. All of the stuff for my PF tek project has been really easy to obtain. I found everything at nearby stores in only about a week's time frame having never looked for most of it before (took some research though!).
5. I don't know why, but I've been getting mind fucked a lot on the bus and at random places in the last few weeks or month. Let me explain. Sometimes I just get creative surges of ideas or transcendental thoughts which put me in a happy place where I can get an edge over my societal surroundings. I can tell more about this if there is interest, but in the mean time I'll just say that I think this will all lead to better tripping in the end.
I think I'm ready for psychedelics, even though I am also smart enough to admit I have no idea what I'm in for. I look to expect nothing, hope for nothing, and at the same time be respectful and mindful of the possibility of anything. I wouldn't trip if I was in dire need of something, but at the same time I wouldn't trip if I wasn't brave enough to be so curious.

Yeah def it hasn't been that long yet OP. It is hard waiting in the beginning though. You will get a hand on it. I actually use to make an exercise of it when I nocced up new batches of qt wbs jars in that Id do it then stick them in a tub and force myself not to even look at them once for ten days. It makes it sorta like Christmas morning when you finally do get too lol. And it teaches patience.
Course that was also when I thought you colonized in darkness but still the principal remains the same lol.
