Does my WBS look okay? update**
    #22016081 - 07/29/15 05:08 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

First grow attempt and I think I may have had my PC on too high? does this look okay or is it too moist possibly?



UPDATE :laugh:

It's been about 2 weeks now and I shook my jars once about 4 or 5 days ago, from the opinions of the pros am I lookin good? just waiting for full colonization then let it sit for a week and i'm good to spawn or am I missing something possibly?

Also being the slow person I am I used non-widemouth jars, any times on removing my WBS?

2 most colonized jars

Looks pretty normal, my grains always come out a bit wet, even if I have multiple layers of tinfoil on. Keep shaking them up and your GE hole will take care of the excess moisture. :thumbup:

Spore syringes are not 100% sterile, so you always run the risk of a contam showing up, that's why most growers choose to germinate spores on a sterilized media like agar or brf paste jars. However, I've had success injecting straight into grain jars, because cubes will often be able to fruit through a bit of bacterial contam, just don't expect spectacular first flushes. :goodluck:

If everything goes as planned I was going to hopefully make clones of one of the clusters or big shrooms or something and start using that instead of MS Syringes because I dont really enjoy ordering things online anyway but ty for the warning about flushes its always good to have low expectations.

I had kick ass flushes with MS syringe directly to grain.

I've had about 2 out of 9 jars sucumb to bacteria, But I dont blame the syringe for that but my polyfil filters I was using at the time. ( no filter disk)

By Kick as I mean 3 quart jars spawn to 4 jars manure/coir bulk and over 300 grams wet for 2 consecutive flushes and 2 more flushes around 100 grams.

Looks fine.  Might not wanna fill your jars that high.  They're gonna be a pain to shake well, especially if there is any clumpage going on.


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


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...

Yeah I didn't expect it to really expand as much as it did. Notes have been taken for next time

I did the same thing ...I learned to fill jars up 3/4 of the way or 1/2 way if you are going to G2G...I highly recommend G2G, if done right (sterile in SAB)...its super fast!

I had them all at like 3/4 or so and they got pretty packed. G2G looks like the way to go for grain spawn though, is there any good guides to making and preparing a SAB for it? I'll probably try that to keep spawn on hand without ordering syringes until I get agar and LC and that fancy stuff set up and figured out.

Do you need a G2G tek...just search:  "Grain to Grain in a SAB" it's by Frank...or do you need a SAB building tek?
It's pretty easy...mine is just a large, clear tote with 2 arm holes (cut with dremel tool) I then taped a plastic flap over the holes...people use different things but I find to prepare the SAB, just mist the walls with antibacterial soapy water. Let the air settle, go to work.

Such a simple explanation of how to use the SAB I love it lol, and it looks like G2G is what I'll be doing. I have a like 105qt sterilite or something to use so now I just get to play the waiting game I guess

Not a pro by any means but I feel they look good. Keep in mind once they are 100% you do not have to wait a week for consolidation since this is spawning to a bulk substrate.

yup those looks good to me too, dont wait a week that is consolidation for pf-cakes,
you want to use them as soon as they are ready,keep them in the vigorous vegetative state!

Awesome thank you guys for the input, pretty much exactly what I wanted to hear lol

Can I use a sterilized spoon to crumble up the grains in there or just shake my lil arms off?

Never use a spoon. Spoons don't belong in this hobby. Shake it up. You honestly only need a couple whacks with your hand to get them into big chunks and then shake it up to get it into grains

best just shake! clean spawn breaks up easily while bacteria can be a real bitch!
