Woke up and knocked em up. Some jars were really hard to break them up. The middle jar in this picture looks like there is fog in it. Watch em for days and maybe start over?

Looking good, hard to tell maybe just a little wetter than I see typically. Keep an eye on them, all spots should be very white.......you've got a good start from what I can see.

I soak my WBS at room temp for 24-30 hours, rinse many times....until the water is clear. No need to simmer, heat etc. I let them dry overnight, sometimes use a towel or pillowcase before PC. Yours look a little wet as mentioned. I would shake @ 20% colonization. You will find a method that works best for you. Trial and error. Toss them if they smell funky. Good job.

Shook my wbs jars today. Prepared Frank's style with corn. Shook so easy. Took 5 min or less to shake em all up. No contams Yaya. So I have 8 1/2 quart jars at the moment. I tried to make 10 but lost too much wbs straining it. I'm a noob. I think my plan is to use 5 of the spawn jars to make a single 66 qt tub and use the other 3 and a half to knock up 24 more jars. And do 5 more tubs on top of the single. I have a sgfc (I'll post pics when there's something worth seeing) going at the moment too with 9 cakes in, 13 more in its consolidation period and 10 more that just started showing myc so I think I'll be good to just get this one monotub going to learn off of while I prep the others. I have two pcs and just to pic up some agar now.

best was to strain is to get a large bowl and a plate to fit over it....tip the bowl and the water comes out and the seeds stay in the bowl...

Dry them enough that they wouldn't leave moisture on your hands. I would toss them around in my strainer and knock some out. I'm sure I just need to practice. I'm cool with that.

Your spawn looks like it's recovering really nicely. What kinda sub are you going with and how many quarts of spawn per tub are you planning?

I'm following Frank's 12 step. I have 8 and a half of these. I was gonna use 5 per tub but came up short. I could half it and use 4 1/4 quarts spawn to 1 brick coir 2 qt verm and handful of gypsum. Or just do one tub and use 5 or more if recommend by someone before then.. and g2g the rest. I have 12 more quart jars to make and grain for days. I've already drilled holes in my tubs.

All I ever use is 4 quarts per mono. Works great every time.

Yeah you could either use 4qts for 2 monos and have 1/2qt left for a few G2G jars or a GLC and then expand from there. You could make 1/2qt into 12 jars, but there wouldn't be many inoculation points per jar, so it would take longer.
Or you could use 6-7qts for 1 mono and G2G the other 1.5qt into all 12 jars. Personally that's what I would do.
