Alright! Received my new spore syringes in the mail today. Knocked up the 9 jars with PES Hawaiian strain, lets see what happens.
My GT jars are almost fully colonized! Can't wait to start the 1 week countdown to dunk n roll! During that time I'll be building my SGFC.
I'll be starting a bulk grow soon using grain spawn bags with Treasure Coast, Koh Samui Super Strain, Blue Meanie, and Matias Romero. I'll post a link here when i get it going.
Will update pics soon.

Not yet unfortunately =/ Still not 100% colonized, very close though, then we still have the consolidation X.X Seems like they're having a hard time getting into the bottom of the jars, i see now why everyone uses the wide mouth jars.
For an update though the PES Hawaiian jars are starting to show life! I'll post some pics in about a week when there's something more to see.

Here's a link to a grow someone started about the same time as me. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22339369/fpart/3/vc/1#22339369 They used the wide mouth jars and already have a couple consolidating. I'm not too far behind but behind none the less.

If you're paying for spore syringes, it's not worth rolling the dice on some janky BRF. If you're just whipping them up from prints, w.e.
TC's have said they have had some stuff take like 2-3 weeks to germinate. It's not common, but I'd exercise a bit more patience. Then just toss them and make more substrate. Be sure to save what's left of your PESH syringe to try and put on agar later.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

I agree, it's a foolhardy thing to do, but curiosity got the best of me, if they contam they contam, no real big loss. Mycelium is starting to grow so hopefully everything goes well.
I'm gonna hold off on the agar until i get some fruits to clone. Would you suggest using a ms syringe instead?
As with most noobs i'm a little intimidated by agar... all in good time though!

Glad they're starting to roll. A pro syringe would hopefully be clean enough that 12 days wouldn't be a problem.
All I meant to say re: putting your PESH on agar was that you just need a drop of syringe to keep another strain for yourself. Absolutely do some cloning once you start agar work.
Honestly I was mostly intimidated by agar because I didn't really know what it was. Just a rubbery feeling gelatanous thing with some starch that allows you to culture micro-organisms in 2d. I highly suggest using grainwater (the liquid from grain soak/simmer) agar. So easy, requires no supplies other than agar powder. Telepohone brand is usually the cheapest and easiest agar powder. Also use a no-pour tek where you just mix your liquid and cook it in containers.
Once you start using agar, you'll want to do just about everything with it. Start MS on plates, clone, inoculate. KNOWING what you're inoculating with saves so much time and heartache. Otherwise, if you say, start a jar MS, then G2G, you don't know if you transfered bacterial grain, you don't know if there is a bit of contam that will get worse as you g2g, you just ride out a month or two of unknowns and then see if your tub contams. I had huge problems early on cause I wasn't cooking my grain long enough and I didn't know it since opportunities to smell grains are scarce when you're trying to g2g.

2 Jars have reached full colonization! I'm gonna go ahead and wait for the other 4 to finish up before starting the countdown to dunk and roll. I would like to dunk and roll all 6 at the same time for convenience, the other 3 will be at least a week behind these. Looks like I'll be placing them in the sgfc some time in the first week of november. 
I'll post some picks of the sgfc when i make it some time this week. Still need to find a way to elevate it... I have an end table i can take the 4 glass inserts out of, maybe that will do. Something to think about. I might post a couple different set ups if i can't make up my mind and see what you guys think.

Ugh all the damn drilling! Good thing I don't plan on doing pf tek very much, I do not want to have to make another one of these ever again. Holes aren't perfectly spaced, just kinda eyeballed it.
Will post a pic tomorrow.

Had to throw out one of the pes hawaiian jars today, got jacked up by black mold, i know why it happened, should've known better. O-well, the rest of them look ok for now.
