First Grow!

First I want to say thank you to everyone on this site. I don't post much but I read a lot here and I am grateful for the amount of knowledge that is shared. I have never done any psychedelics before and have only greened out on marijuana (fun times ) I am interested in psychedelics for personal and spiritual growth and I have been fascinated by other people's journeys and I want to experience it for my self. Initially I started hunting for mushrooms but found that to be like looking for a needle in a hay stack.
I decided my only other option was to grow my own. I live in GA so getting spores isn't easy. It took about a month for me to receive a print (B+). From there I made the syringes and have inoculated 8 jars. It has been 10 days since inoculation and the waiting is painful! Here are some pics for now. I will use this thread to update and ask questions as I move along.

looking good! now keep patient and leave them alone until they're done 
best way to keep from touching those jars is to make new ones!

Absolutely when the time comes I know this is silly, but I don't want to jinx myself by getting it ready yet. When my jars are fully colonized and consolidating I will prepare my SCFC.

Thanks space! I am completely obsessed! I was initially checking my jars with a flash light and magnifying glass

We've all been there! for your next batch try to get the brown rice flour ground up even finer. it looks a bit chunky, its supposed to be as fine as any other flour.

Will do! I was using my magic bullet to grind the brown rice and it started to smell like it was over heating so I cut it short. I will probably by the brf premade next time...

I used an electric coffee grinder when I made brf. I've only seen the magic bullet on tv but I'd think it should be able to grind the rice even finer.

They should have the rice flour in any health food store. Your jars are looking good though, how was the inoculation process?

It went well Rebelutions. I made a still air box. Sterilized my syringes and water and made them in the sab, made them a little dark though... I steam sterilized my jars for two hours in a boiling pot. I inoc. them in the sab and flame sterilized the needle between jars.

The thing with buying it in a health store is the outrageous price.
Just buy some generic brown rice at the store and grind it up. Easy.
Also nice using fresh ground BRF that you can just grind up as you need it..

Hey FWO! I did grind it myself, but my magic bullet's motor started smelling funky so I ended up keeping it a little course because I thought the motor would blow out.

All good, just give it a 5 min break and then go in for another pulse. No sense buying from the health food store or buying premade BRF. If you continue this hobby, I'd recommend getting a $15 coffee grinder. It will more then pay for itself when used for the following: Grinding drywall (gypsum), brown rice, grinding agar, vermiculite and other uses along the way. The magic bullet doesn't stand a chance for very long. 
Jars look good. And, you even got the Azur "seal of approval".

Just an update. Things seem to be moving along well. I am hoping the jars will be at 100% colonized next weekend. I plan on making my sgfc next weekend to get it ready while they are hopefully at their beginning stages of consolidation. One upside to the waiting is that it gives me plenty of time to research the next steps.

Drilling the holes can take a long time. Especially if you measure out the holes every two inches. Took me like 3 hours at least with my 117 qt sgfc. Spread over a few days. Or if you accidentally break your tub while drilling... your jars look really good. I think they would have contaminated by now.
