Case?

Hey I'm thinking this is ready to be cased I haven't allowed much consolidation and I might be just anxious. How does it look also? This is my best isolate so far but still seems mediocre to me, nothing quick

Looks okay to me...is there green in the upper right or am I seeing things?
What are you going to do with it?? G2G, spawn it...?

Is that rye? If so do a g2g and expand it and go bulk if it's your best

I've already done that man this is just one jar, it's hard wheat they're the fuckin best. I'd use rye if I could get it as easy as wheat but I haven't had a single wheat jar ever go bad even my first try. But anyways, this is just one jar out of 3 that I have and one of them will go to make 6 new jars. Just gonna case my grains because my spawn to bulk success rate is fucked and maybe when I get 6 qts I'll try a big bulk, I see no reason to bulk just one jar when my technique at bulk is shitty. I had success the first time I ever tried and since then my bulk will be too wet or too dry or flies will break in or something fucks up every time
My first grow was on straight rye and I got six nice flushes, no grows I've done since then can compare, even my bulk hpoo grows just don't hold a light to straight grains for me

looks good 
i like to see all white before i use as spawn (or g2g) , i'd give it 4-5 days for g2g , week for spawn ; i think i allow more colonization that most who are successful.
have you tried prepared substrate from a sponsor ? that way you could learn bulk technique without worrying too much about substrate , aka better off in the long run making your own substrate
good luck !

No worries man I had problems with bulk at first the only way to get good is keep at it. I never use less than 5 quarts of spawn in a 66 quart tub. I use Frank's hpoo tek works great every time

bulk technique? just use CVG and there's nothing to worry about, manure is a bit more picky on pasteur. temps.

But manure is so much fun! But you're right cvg is the way to go to start out

Guys guys I have been successful with horse poo in the past and I have ordered bulk from sponsors which no offense sucks when you can do it for free. I just want to case my grains, I've got my g2g technique down and everything I just have some extra jars and I want to CASE these grains. Bulk is fun but I'm not going big until I've mastered the small end. I think I'd see just as much fruit from a cased tray from one jar than a tray of bulk sub from one jar. My question is are these grains ready to be crumbled and cased?

And do you think I did good isolating a strain if g2g looks like this in a week? I've been questioning whether I isolated a shitty strain or not

If you want to case it. Just case it in the jar with something like jiffy mix, peat/verm/lime or just strait coir. Wheat is great I used it a couple of times and really liked it. Whole oats are better though and cheaper.
I would give that jar another day to fully colonise. You wont know if you have a good set of genetic until you fruit it. 1 week colonisation from G2G is fairly standard.

Sir, the surface area would be tenfold if i crumbled it into a tray rather than casing the top of the jar. Am I wrong?

can't tell until you fruit , that's a pint jar in a week from agar ? good in my book, friend .

i'd give it a few days before casing

what mudafuka said , breaking it up would serve the purpose of giving you many inoculation points
i look forward to seeing you grow it out !

Surface aria doesn't mean shit. Trust me. You get a bunch of small fruits with lots of surface area and a smaller amount of larger fruits with less surface area but the yield is the same.

I'll take your word for that, but I would still prefer the surface area over barely any. I've got one jar that I'll probably case tomorrow and one jar that I'll wait a week and another jar that I will g2g out in a few days

The jar in the OP should be good to go in a day or so.

you know the only difference in casing grains and spawning to bulk is whether you mix in the sub with grains or put it on top of the grains right? get ready to water your trays a LOT more often when just casing grains!
and you dont have an isolated no matter how many times you g2g a jar, you may have narrowed down the genetics but never to the point of isolating them!
