:super: I thought the same thing.

If you use a 1:2 ratio like he(I think) described, a week is very doable.

That's a decent ratio and coir/verm is pretty resistant, so you might be okay.

Yikes man I hope you didnt soak your bulk for 24hrs....

Also, when you say you didnt pasteurize did you atleast sterilize?

by bulk you mean the coir/verm? I soaked the mycelium for a day in the fridge. not the substrate.
and no I didn't sterilize. I know I rushed it. hopefully the myc will win out. if not  back to the drawing board.

well what did you do with your brick of coir?
and I hope you still have 95% of the coir/verm mix left if those weird shaped jars are your only spawn..?

If you are using BRF you shouldn't have dunked. Just grate it up and mix it in with your coir/verm.  Frank has a nice thread on the benefits of dunking WBS when using it as spawn, but he only dunks for 20 minutes.

So you didnt pasteurize OR sterilize? Dont expect results. But I'll keep my eye on this thread just because I'm curious. This hobby isnt for people who are in a rush....kind of a stupid move dude, no offence.

You prepped all your spawn jars, waited a couple weeks for them to colonize, prepped your verm/coir BUT THEN decided you were in a rush and didnt bother spending an hour or two to pasteurize it? Naughty Naughty!

I wish you all the best dude. but next time pasturize. it takes a very little amount of time and saves you a lot of trouble.

I read  people  who grated and dunked.  at the least dunked 24 hrs in cakes then rolling in verm before fruiting. I dunno. we'll see.  like I said. I have one cake left in the jar. so maybe I can also salvage a spore print or two

I do. like I said. I took a cup of the myc and mixed in 2 cups of coir/verm. and then another cup of myc /2cups coir and so on til i ran out of a cup of myc.then i mixed it all up and put it into 6 separate
bread containers.

hmm. that recipe seems a little skewed. I usually use twice as much verm but I'm sure it wont make a huge diff. goodluck.

the pink on the sides is from the flash. color is same throughout

I'm thinking cobweb mold. suggestions? toss it, see if mycelium overtakes it?
I saved one brf cake still in jar.  what would you do? fruit it and get spore print? could i try to get a piece of it in a jar of steralized bird seed and start over?

ugh

Should smell like fresh mushrooms. Usually it's pretty easy to tell an off smell. Cobweb has a musty odor.
