To early? Nope! Too late maybe if there were such a thing. Should have shook them 3 days ago.

4 outta 5 goin' strong! last one was a little slow to recover (and perhaps not colonized enough) but I'll be giving her another shake tomorrow night 
blender is in and these should be 100% within 24hrs, time to prep a shitload of grain!

Maybe give them all one more good shake. Surely shake ole number 4. And at least shake one of the others for comparison

Kind of thrilled to see this thread. I just did my WBs prep yesterday and I feel like I went a bit over. Got sticky and maybe a few burst grains, but no water pooling. Hoping they do well, but am about to prep again this weekend just in case.

Spoke too soon, they're all at 100% now and I don't see anything out of the ordinary Did a grain slurry to 12 jars yesterday morning, seeing recovery in all 12!

and a peek at the workspace

not the most ideal but it works great in a pinch

Hell yeah man! Good news for sure. Excited for you.
I have some jars that I thought were a loss because of too much heat and stickyness, but they seem to be colonizing fairly well. Hopefully all mine will get to 100%..we'll see.
Explain to me this slurry process if you dont mind.

Update!
Threw a bunch of jars into this extra tote to keep the workspace tidy, plus I don't like to lysol directly around/onto my polyfil filters..
12 colonizing, 7 with foil that need to be nocc'd, and 6 quarts WBS in the PC along with 400ml distilled water still cooling off for a slurry

7 of the most impressive currently, other 5 are a little behind but should take over quickly enough This is about 80 hours after inocculation

and the donor jar for round 2 of slurrying

Dowtish, grain slurry consists of water + colonized grain spawn, I use an oster blender with an ice blade attachment to knock mycelia off of the grains, then pour a bit of water from the slurry into fresh jars 
eatyualive has a huge thread on it, 3 day colonization time etc.

Definitely check it out and let me know what you think, dow!
7 outta 12 of my round 1 slurries will be fully colonized in less than 24hrs, 5 others within 48 hours.. 5 days for 100% isn't too bad for MS!
As for round 2 jars, I'm seeing recovery in all 12, even if very slight. Most noticeable 2

Spawning a monotub tomorrow using damions coir tek, 6 or 7 qts spawn and half cup gypsum!
got some black bags for monos, more lysol, coir bricks, and also 3 ziploc pp5 containers for agar work

Should I fruit these bastards yet? 9 days since spawning, 2 more colonizing now.

thanks dow, poly'd em up and set a couple cfl's above
eat, i used a 1:2 grain to water ratio  i noticed the blender doesn't actually blend any of the wbs up, just knocks tons of mycelium off into the water, is this working as intended?

yeah its like a shroom shake. your doing a very low ratio. ive been doing 2:1 grain to water. but thats really fast colonization! you may be pouring a bit more per jar than me though. ill only do a small dash about a tablespoon's worth per jar.
if you use the higher grain ratio it will blend up the grain into a muddier type mix. but what your doing looks to be working well. and i wouldn't change it if your getting results like that. it appears to be the GLC type slurry. I feel the GLC type can expand the most at the quickest rate.
its no more difficult than doing g2g to me. and ill use a shmuvbox with a 55 gallon bag on it. i can comfortably fit 50 quarts in there and pour 1 pint grain slurry that will inoculate 50 plus. its much easier to do it in one sitting. whereas, i use Liquid inoculation from plates and i find myself having to do multiple sessions to accomplish the same end goal. so it ends up being more work, takes more time. but i like both methods. you should check this out. the leap off is amazingly fast if you have plates. i like the grain slurries because depending on the situation if you only have one quart left, you have enough inoculum for a large amount of quarts with little effort. g2ging won't expand the mycelia that far in that time frame.
i have a feeling if your liking the grain slurries, this is something between a pf jar slurry and a LI from a regular agar plate. i look at it depending on the situation. if i have plates ready to go, doing a t3 transfer from a regular agar plate to a cornmeal plate is easy. you can then just flip the jar upside down right into your blender jar, blend and pour. also take a look in this link at carcase-x's tribal jar. its a badass build that makes pouring super easy with the use of a magnet on the pour jar. its a blender and pour jar built into 1.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22252599
did you shake the grain slurry after a few days of growth or just let it colonize on its own? you don't normally have to shake them unless you have a really poor shake after inoculation. ive had some really crappy ones colonize only the top or bottom halves of jars. just me rushing to get things done. its always good to take a little extra time to shake each jar to get a good even distribution of mycelia.
