Can't tell if these cakes are fully colonized or not.
    #22252702 - 09/17/15 06:51 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I inoculated these half pint jars on 9/3 and its been two weeks today. I was wondering if these jars are fully colonized or not. I am a nooby who is confused because some people to wait till pinning and some just go strait to the dunk and roll. Please help. Thanks

Well it looks like they might be fully colonized, but you're only showing one side. If they just got to 100% then leave them for another week to consolidate so the mycelium can colonize more of the substrate that you can't see

You should really take that foil off bro, its preventing proper GE. The dry verm layer is all the protection you need against contams.

Your jar looks to be almost fully colonized, I'd let it consolidate for a week, then dunk/roll.

And what's with the black spot on the left side of your jar in the first pic. Can you zoom in on that? Maybe it's the lighting that makes it look like black mold, not sure tho.

yea, probably a good idea to wait a couple more days for it to colonize any remaining substrate.

if u birth them to soon u might still have to wait a couple more days while they're in the fc anyway.

Fully colonized in 2 weeks from MS innoc?? You lucked out man!
That may be only on the outside so surely give then another week or two to consolidate
Then...
Submerge for 24 hours in coldish water roll in verm and place in a SGFC made to tek. Wait for the verm to absorb water from the cake before misting or it will fall off
Mist and fan occasionally and have patience.
Should be some good fruits to clone if your looking for speed, which we all are.
Good job.
Make sure its not cobweb or something though... two weeks from innoc is still pretty crazy
Good luck and enjoy the fruits of your labor

Don't birth yet.

Wait 1 week for consolidation and you'll be good. Top picture is not 100% but you can count your first day of the consolidation process tomorrow.

Yeah its a constant 78 in my house and a constant like 70% humidity so its favorable for these shroomies i think. Do you think that I have cobweb in this jar? Or how would i know if i have cobweb?

:whathesaid:

That's not cobweb. Outside RH means nothing to colonizing jars. 78 is fine.

unless that was just a very thick vermiculite top layer and the sub is fully colonized.

Yea sometimes the dry verm kinda falls down on top, especially if you handle the jars a lot.

Ok, they just look so white idk when it looks like they need to be dunked and rolled. I want to dunk and roll before birthing starts.
