take a pic of the recolonizing grains if you're unsure, that's when bacteria is easiest to spot IMO.
once its all turned white again bacteria can hide pretty well.
especially important if you're just shooting spores into a jar, 1 bad jar is all it takes.




very true. ill take some pics of the recovery, but so far its looking AMAZING! the jar that spread colonized grains the best is looking to be done colonizing in a day or two with how its recovering right now! (all 4 sides COVERED in clean myc spots. looking beautiful)

well maybe not THAT quickly but you know haha. either way i think they are all looking clean at the moment. ill take pictures this afternoon of the current recovery so you guys can take a look and let me know if you see anything fishy in there (:

and as usual, thanks for the replies and good vibes :laugh:

pictures 48 hours after shake. not bad? ok? good? bad? :rolleyes:



sorry about the blurriness.. i couldnt get the macro right. i suck at taking pictures. ill do better i promise lol.

all jars are about equal on all sides. so what you see on the front, is pretty much the same thing youll see on any side of that particular jar (:

thank you boys (: lets hope it stays that way through out the grow haha

i have agar ingredients on the way so i can get to it as soon as a jar is complete. start isolating a B+ strain :laugh: ill need to buy a lot more in terms of gladware etc. though haha.

and are petri dishes one time use? just in case i go with a pour agar later, as i WOULD like to try petri dishes eventually. but i feel like the price would add up quick if they are only one time use. if they cant be fully sterilized in a PC... how can they be sterilized for re-use?

yeah they are one-time use. not sure about the glass, ones. but the platic ones are one-time.

thats why lots of poeple use Pasty Plates, especially when first starting out.

Yeah, glass is re-usable. Pretty much my favourite agar container.

i think i might buy a few sets of glass petri dishes then. i know they wont work for no pour but no reason why i cant do a pour; i trust my SAB.

i have a feeling once i start on agar work im going to keep myself more and more busy with this hobby :p

basic idea for pour agar is to mix ingredients i.e. 2g GLME and 2g Agar with 1l(?) water. sterilize this mixture in PC and then pour into petri's within SAB?

2g agar per 100ml not per 1l.

Take a look at any pour tek to get all the small details, I've got one in my sig but that one is directed at transperant pp5's. You can still follow it with glass ones, either sterilize them in the oven or in the PC with your agar. Oven takes longer but doesn't get them wet. Wrap stacks of 10 or w/e in foil and sterilize.

yeah sorry i was fairly tired and stoned and didnt feel like looking it up :p decided to try and go by memory. i knew my measurements were a little off though haha.

i actually read your guide a few days ago though and im definitely doing something similar. i plan to sort of experiment and try different things this time around so it should be interesting. a good learning experience at the very least!

well, almost 2 months later.. ive been in and out of the hospital these past 2 months and have been fully reminded that life is fragile. with that in mind, ive got a larger fire under my ass than ive felt in quite a while!

update on the grow.. well, nothing has happened during this time. but i finally got to check on my jars, and theyve been consolidating this WHOLE time. all of them are 100% contam free, with perfect white myc all the way around :smile:

ill take a nice picture of them all lined up before i start building monos and transferring grains for the next batch cycle etc. its quite a beautiful site to see so many nice jars. theyve dried a bit, and shrunk in size.. but that shouldnt be an issue as long as i dunk them a little longer to get them rehydrated(i hope).

im also wondering if these jars will still work for G2G or G2A transfers?

Don't have any solid advice for you about if the jars are still good for transfers but I am happy to read that you are out of the hospital and reunited with your jars! Sending extra good vibes your way now :psychsplit:  good luck with the future of this grow and hope you stay healthy!

Definitely start pouring your agar. My first attempt resulted in all my dishes being clean. I found that no-pour was too difficult to keep from settling unevenly and in this instance my pressure cooker didn't seal properly so it ran dry and boiled my agar. Ugh, what a headache. I'd recommend picking up a Pyrex media bottle and following this tek.

thanks everyone for the good vibes and good advice :smile:

i ended up having some family problems and was forced to move into a new location etc etc etc. finally im able to get back to this PROPERLY and work towards actually getting mushrooms grown!

i have 4-66qt monotubs set up now. 2 are fully colonized and just now went into fruiting conditions. the other 2 are still colonizing, but should be ready in a week or so. (pictures tomorrow when im more awake) ive also got enough jars left for 2 more 66 qt tubs and some G2A transfers, which will happen this week.

16 no pour agar dishes i made are currently colonizing as well! doesnt seem to be any contams on them yet, and im hoping to transfer into grain bags/jars and more agar dishes as well. my first agar attempt is going well so far. ive got a total of 16 glass petri dishes too; plan is to get a beaker(or similar) to pour with and get those dishes going as well :smile:

so, with that, im hoping to get this grow back up in a BIG WAY! ill be taking more pictures again tomorrow and posting regular updates for those interested. i feel like ill have some nice pron to post, but we'll see soon enough :wink:

What ever happened with all of this? I read through it and it seemed awesome. I am new at this as well and was looking to your experiment for some assistance.
