Is this good growth?
    #22085662 - 08/13/15 10:19 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Ok guys, I need some help and advice....more like I need to ease my worries. I started a new grow and decided to do it differently this time.  I usually use the BRF Tek but I got tired of dealing with either some of the jars getting contaminated, or they would take abnormally long to be fully colonized or I would not get much of a yield from them at all. So I decided to do a bulk grow this time and do things to the best of my abilities. I made a walk-in sterile tent out of 6 mil plastic and everything from jar prep to inoculation to drying the yield is all to be taken place inside that tent. (I'm paranoid about getting contams lol) so I compiled different teks to make my own Frankenstein Tek lol and used wild bird seed in quart jars and I'm doing a bulk grow in 6 qt dub tubs. I inoculated 4 days ago. I'm already seeing growth in the jars right around where the spores are, but as I said, I'm paranoid about contams. Should I see this much growth this soon? Or is it too much? And is the growth ok? Parts of it look a little fluffy instead of ropy. If anyone has any advice or input or could ease my worries I would be forever grateful! Thanks in advance!

Has it followed the same path down the jar that your spore solution follower when you inoculated?

Yes the growth is in trails down the jars where the spores have run. You can actually see that most of the growth branches from the spores themselves on the sides of the jars.

If you're comfortable enough to confirm all that, then I'd say you're good to go.

It took my grain jars a little longer than 4 days to see signs of grown from MS syrnge, but that's not a rule.

Keeping an eye on it will let you know for sure, but to put your mind at ease, I'd say you're ok.

Ok great, that makes me feel better. I'm not getting that amount of growth in all of the jars though. I inoculated 4 jars 2 of them one strain and 2 of them another. I'm only seeing that much growth in 2 jars and they're both the same strain. I can just barely see the beginnings of growth on one of the jars from the other strain but it almost isn't visible. The panama is what I'm getting so much fast growth from and I used the panama on my brf Tek a few times and usually got faster growth with that than other strains. And any time I used another strain at the same time as the panama I would see growth first with that than the other. So I kind of wasn't surprised when I saw growth so soon with these guys but at the same time, I didn't know at what point growth should be expected to be seen with grain spawn. I'm still kind of a noob at growing in general but I'm a fresh noob at grain spawn and bulk grows. Thanks for everyone's advice and for easing my mind!

I just upped my game to bulk too... I'm using WBS...but thinking about doing some whole oats as well... That growth looks good... Great job and welcome to the club!:billymaythumbup:

Thanks! Good luck on your wbs! I've considered trying whole oats or popcorn, but I've decided that if the webs is successful then I think I'm just going to stick with that for a while. But I don't know, we'll see. I like trying new things :smile:

I've heard oats are ridiculously easy to hydrate... I've tried several different teks with the WBS...they all seem to work...some a little better than others... I just finished a 27q Mini-Mono, it came out great... Now I've got a couple big tubs going.
Good luck with your projects and good vibes!
:goodluck:

I do think that making the sterile tent was a good idea. I just got tired of struggling with not much space in a glove box and not being able to see what I'm doing as we'll, so I had the idea to try making a big walk in sterile air tight tent. And all it took was a roll of 6 mil plastic, packaging tape, dowel rods, fishing line and mug hooks, and some strips of magnets for the door! I wear a tyvek suit and dust mask as well. I went full on legit with it this time haha but it works great and I will be using this for as long as it lasts!

Hmmm... That's interesting...:takingnotes: I might try that...when I have a little more room... Great Idea! Right now I pull a SAB into a walk in closet and use that with a tyvvek suit and surgical mask...
You must be from the South too..:thumbup:

Yeah I've done quite a bit of research, but it's always nice to be able to ask questions and get answers from someone who has the experience. I'm usually just worried about contams more than anything though. My only real issue has always been getting my hands on spore prints  :uhoh:

Exactly! That's what I like to do. I only have a small handful :frown: I just have a hard time finding prints for different strains. Mainly due to my location lol how do you do the grain to graining? I've never heard of that  :takingnotes:
