Need help with V-tek, No growth, Worried.
    #21997330 - 07/25/15 09:21 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hey everyone, im attempting my first real grow and following this tek: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21390984

however it has been 6 days after inoculation and none of the 4 jars i prepared have shown any growth. 2 jars were straight spores, the other 2 i used a spore syringe, all jars are filled with brown rice grains. Insights or help would be greatly appreciated.

My first suspicion is the jars are lacking moisture, could that be fixed by just injecting more water with a sterile syringe?

heres some pics of one of the jars:

it's only been 6 days...

spores can take upwards of 3 weeks to germinate in some cases

Spores can take a while to germinate. What do you mean 2 were inoculated with straight spores? Did you just scrape spores off a print into a grain jar?

I don't understand why there's only 12 grains of rice in the near. Mainly because I refuse to read some shit violet typed lol


Is it worth a read?

OK nvm its used as an all in one.

yeah just scraped them off a print and dropped them directly inside the jar.

wow really 3 weeks? i've been reading a lot of peoples posts and most people seem to get colonization started within a week, some people even after 3 days.

so i shouldn't panic just yet? might go buy some more jars and start making a backup plan though.

It is winter here at the moment (26 degrees Celcius outside, but much warmer inside where i have the jars) could this have an impact?

You might want to add a few drops of sterile water to those jars.

that tek seems better, but it also uses a lot of materials i don't have.
might be easier to just do PF Tek. I'm gonna start another batch of jars but i'll do pf tek this time, and if these first few jars work then sweet but if not ill have a backup. thanks for all the info bodhisatta.

PF tek can be done really really easily



no dry verm layer, a SHIP and a GE filter.
I did the SHIP for easyness. fruit them with a sandwich bag, adjust or add holes as needed. mist as needed.

great way to get a clone from a MS culture.

three minutes to prep the cake, very short time to sterilize in a PC or you can steam them like advised in the brf/pf TEKs.

Most people do get growth within a week or sooner.  The fastest I ever had was 3 days from a vendor print, and had it take longer from my own newer prints, so it seems to be genetic.  That rice looks pretty well hydrated to me.

The ones that just had spores dropped into them may take longer to germinate since there may not be enough moisture present to rehydrate them very well.  Others would know more about this than I.

You don't need to change tek because your spores didn't germinate as fast as you would have liked...  I like v-tek a lot, though it is kinda picky.  Case that brown rice when it finishes colonizing.


--------------------


I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."


No, this does not look right...

I hope you are not giving up on the rice jars yet.

Most of my beliefs I acquired from my father and from John Wayne, and anything that wasn't ultra tough and ultra cool was to me ultra embarrassing.
