So you guys, I knocked up 6 BRF jars on Saturday, and I've got growth in 3 of them so far I think. Would you guys mind letting me know if I'm on the right track here?




I'm kind of worried about the other 3, as I havent seen anything yet... Also, I must commend all of you for somehow not getting a bunch of glare in all your pictures from the glass on the jars!

Can't zoom in to pics to see the full size (shroomery's pic loading has been down since yesterday). From what I see, the growth looks a bit whisky in the first two photos, could be normal or contam, just keep an eye on it. The other jars will show growth within a week or so, remember MS is prone to taking a long time to fully colonize a jar.
Also, what were you're inoculation procedures? Did you use a SAB and flame your needle before injecting?

An SAB and flame sterilization was used while wearing gloves and a facemask, the jars were taken straight from the PC into the SAB, things were wiped down with 70% Iso

Sounds good, then you should expect nicely colonized cakes in the next few weeks

My mycelium looked like that when the holes on my jars weren't big enough to provide proper gas exchange. I'd give it some more time before jumping to that conclusion, though. Looks great so far.

I think you should be fine, sometimes germination takes longer with brf cakes and depends on the spores. Age , genetics, ms syringe, and the prepped substrate. Moisture content in each jar might not be identical, there is a lot of things that can contribute to germination. I knocked up 10 jars on the 1st and 6 jars show signs of germination and the other 4 nothing. Note last night I only had 2 jars that showed signs. Patience's is the key. I give all cakes 3 weeks for germination. After that I chuck em. Could as very well be just that the syringe wasn't shaken after every inoculation so more spores got shot into previous jars , leaving less spores for the later half of your batch. Time will tell all.

Also, once all is said and done, I don't know what to do for my next grow, I know I want to do a monotub, but I cant seem to find any teks that make sense.
I also want to clone the best cluster of mushrooms I have from this grow(if I get any) to be used in later grows.
I feel like so much needs to happen with this grow all at once and theres only a small margin of time I have!

Cloning: Pry open the base of your chosen shroom with your hand, take your scalpel and cut a small section out, place in the center of an agar dish/plate in your SAB. Let it colonize at room temp.
Damion's Coir Tek: Pour boiling water over coir brick (650 gram size) with 2 quarts of verm. Let it sit for 30-60 minutes. Take lid off and stir everything up. Let sit until cool. Mix with your clean spawn in the container of your choice and let colonize at room temp.

Thanks for all the links guys! Everyone on this website is so helpful, I can't wait until I can contribute more. Also, one of the jars I have is almost 100%, I know I have to wait a week to birth it but do I wait for the other ones too? They are going noticeably slower than the other one.
The other 3 still have no growth so I'm setting them aside for the next couple weeks to see if anything happens to them. Whats cool is that I didn't get any contams on my first inoculation! *knock on wood*

Hey guys! sorry for the necro, but I didn't want to start a brand new thread just so i could post a picture to update you guys! So I left them for a week to consolidate, and then dunked them in water for 24 hrs and then today i took them out, rinsed them off, and rolled them in verm and now they are sitting in my SGFC! How long abouts until I can start seeing some fruits?
