patience, they're coming along. Try that bottom watering I mentioned, as there's some bruising from drying it looks like. Maybe put a little more moist verm on top too.

I would wait a bit more before picking those.

Well I've only gotten about 5g dry out of those 6 cakes. most seemed small. I had 2 large ones. I didn't even have many aborts either maybe 1 or 2 : ( i don't know but that seems like a really low yield for my first flush. What do you think?

Pan Cyan Jamaican Colonizing [Re: mrc123]

Ive got these brf jars with pan cyan, but they seem to be taking so long to colonize. I think its been 2 weeks now. Anything I should be doing or just wait a bit longer. I though pans colonize quicker than cubes? Ive got wbs jars in preparation for my next Pan Cyan syringe. The second picture shows a black piece of what came out of the syringe after inoculating. Is that normal for pan??? I shook it up pretty good but it didn't mix as well as cubes. (sorry about the blur photo, my camera died).

yeah 5g dry from 6 cakes is pretty low, but it;s your first time(right?), so youre learning what they need.
i havent grown pans yet, so i cant say much about those jars. but are those supposed to be grain jars? brf? or what?

Those jars look like they've been colonizing for about 2 weeks

What kind of lids are these? How did you inoculate?

Just the regular lids that come will the ball jars. There 4 holes on the top close to the sides and equally spread out. I used a syringe.

 You must have some sort of filter, or you're going to be in trouble. That's why there's a dry verm layer at the top of PF tek jars. This could definitely be a main reason as to your lower yields.
Also, cakes should be fruited as cakes.
Syringes are okay for BRF cakes, but not for taking to grains. You are just going to get upset at all the failure. Syringes must be used for cakes or for cleaning up on agar. We really want to see you succeed!

So you can't use a cube syringe with this TEK? https://www.shroomery.org/9030/Doc34-s-Wild-Bird-Seed-Tek
This is what I'm starting on. Not sure what I'm going to do with the mycelian thats in the pan cyan jars. Any ideas? I figured I could just transfer it to a tub mixed with poo and peat moss with a little vermiculite and see what happens. I'd hate to see it go to waste, but making the mental note to not use cakes for pan cyan next time.
Also, the jars you see in the photo do have a dry layer of vermiculite to prevent contams.

You may have noticed that tek is 11 years old. We don't suggest those things anymore because they are just not good practice. Cutting corners won't help if you want to get into mycology seriously, or at least for more than a grow for novelty.
I've seen pans on cakes before. But you should just fruit cakes as cakes, because they are so riddled with bacteria. They work because of the way they're setup. But they're not meant to be spawn for a bulk substrate. It's actually that BRF is so nutritious, that the mycelium can fruit despite all the contamination. However, you still want to increase your chances of success, so you should try to minimize your risks.
Your dry layer of verm should be flush against the lid of the jar. I'd also recommend 1/2 pints, as they're optimal for cake grows.

Okay. Thanks. That makes sense. So any suggestions on what I should do with the pan cyan mycelian from here?
