i was gonna start with pf tek but after having 3 jars show o growth and 2 contams i realized i wouldnt get much of a yield so i decided to do a mono tub
i got two rye bags and inoculated now theyre 30 percent colonized
i was wondering could i add the the rye with the pf cakes then add normal substrate
the cakes are albino a+ the rye is tasmanian they are both cubes so i think they wouldnt be a problem

Do not use anything that could possibly be contaminated as spawn.
Just use the rye, when it fully colonizes.

I completely disagree.
If the cakes were properly sterilized, and knocked up with clean inoculant, and proper sterile procedures were followed, it'd pretty hard to get a contam.
And they make good spawn....and when u spawn u get greater yields than with just cakes alone.

How long did you wait before deciding the PF jars weren't going to show growth? I only ask because I've come across many first timer's threads where they wait they 2-3 days and say "I think I messed up" before giving the jars the 14 days to germinate. Now obviously not all jars will need 14 days to begin mycelium growth, but some do.

don't be like that man. some members here provide spores to vendors, u can't expect them to keep every print clean. hawk been around for a while, he has his shit down. when u grow mushrooms, contaminates are just part of the game. it sucks that happened to you, but maybe get into agar.

i feel ya dude. my first vendor syringe was also contaminated. if u take prints from ur own grows, u can trade in marketplace here, and ask for syringes if u don't use agar. then u won't have to pay for new spores ever.

If it's contaminated and showing, it's going to be contaminated whether you cut out the green or not.

But it does work! I had the same kinda problem when i first started, but i did fruit a couple jars, just transfer some cakes tho to a grain jar/bag and it should work, but id use agar if i were you. -kushroom
