Hello all, so I've started my first grow a couple weeks ago and was very careful with the sterilization process. I was wondering how the colonization looks to people with some experience. I'm growing B+

It looks good but it looks like you got the dreedded red circle mold around your mycelium. Might wanna watch out for that....
I kid i kid! Your grain looks clean and your mycelium healthy. Nice job

Everything looks fine, but you might want to take that foil off. I'm guessing you put a verm barrier on top, right?

If you followed the PF Tek instructions as well as you said, yes, you won't have any problems using just verm as a barrier.
With that foil under the lid you might have ge issues and the cake may stall.
I'd prepare a new batch of jars without the aluminum foil under the lid. The foil goes on top of the lid to protect against moisture getting into the jars. After inoculation remove the foil.

By leaving the foil on, you're cutting off the mycelium's air supply which could certainly lead to stalled jars or contams.
If you sterilized the jar properly, there should have been no contams leftover. However, you could have always introduced something when you were knocking up the jars.

Go ahead and remove that foil. It'll be fine. The mycelium will thank you.

But in order for me to take off the foil now, I will have to pick up the of jar and disturb the dry berm which could possibly let contams work there way down. Isn't it just better to leave them at this point?

It's only on top but taking the pf jar out of my incubator will move the dry berm layer around and then taking the foil off and putting it back in will also disturb the dry verm once again

I handle my jars about once a day lately because I'm watching for the moment they become fully colonized.
This is the top of my jar:

These were my jars about a week ago:

As long as you're not shaking the jar like a baby rattle, it's fine.
Also, I'm not sure an incubator is the best idea. Warmer temps = greater possibility of contams. As long as it's between 65ΒΊ-75ΒΊ in your place, the jars should be fine.

Yeah, the foil is only choking the air out of the jars. Imagine if you put a piece of tin foil on your face. You'd have problems breathing. Same goes for the myc.
And thank you very much! I'm excited about this grow because it's my first one after a few years. I started a grow log for them and I was planning on updating it tomorrow. Some of the jars are completely colonized and I built my SGFC.

This is my very first grow ever lol.... And I need it to go well because I can't find shrooms anywhere anymore , although I did have some cubies that I ate last weekend and fucked me up for about 10 hours
Also the place I bought this syringe had Puerto Rico mushrooms on sale so I bought them instead of the b+ I'm not sure if strain has anything to do with how hard ey are to grow or not .
