In Vitro Plastic Tek Question

Tried Violets Plastic In vitro telk. I thought it was fully colonized and so cracked lid with indirect light for over a week. No pins that I can tell.

Any and all advice appreciated. Does this look normal?

What does this mean?
I would suggest putting the cups in a monotub an removing the lids altogether. You have a lot of moisture that could evaporate that way and trigger some pins.

What's in there is a Texas strain
The tek I followed suggests cracking the lid to allow for FAE and maintain humidity. So I did that and set in place to get some indirect sunshine
I like your idea.

The pods tek does call for cracking the lid. However I believe some better teks have been developed since then. I would just follow the tek, and use your mono for something more efficient. Like a bulk substrate.
Try searching for the Big Gulp Tek. I hear it works very well.

I've seen that tek before. This is what I'm talking about:
In a sgfc
That pic is off one of pasty's posts and shows the cups in a sgfc. I've also seen the same thing in a monotub with good results but I can't find a pic right now.
I'm not suggesting going away from her tek but I think the cups would do better in a large container with some fae.

I also agree however, the tek would do probably do better in an SGFC than anything. The jar itself will provide a microclimate, so humidity shouldn't be a problem. FAE is probably the single biggest issue with that tek.
But unless you have ten of these things, I believe it to be a little counter productive to use an SGFC at all.

Just have patience, it'll pin soon. I've grown many times invitro for fun.... that pic I posted was after last tubs I did I just knocked all the left over WBS in all the jars into that one and dumped in a little coir and put the lid back on. Same idea as that tech, it should pin very soon. I just take the lid off about once a day and fan some fresh air in, if the lids don't have any form of air exchange then yeah I'd leave it cracked a little.
The picture I posted looked bad because I never intended to pick them, I like watching them complete their life cycle.... those looked great several days ago lol.

fanning?
fresh air exchange is not fanning nor does one replace the other.

Dude, we are just talking about jars..... They are gonna grow with virtually no air even. If we were talking about monotubs, etc... I'd be more inclined to discuss it with you. But I've grown tons of cubes invitro and accidentally achieved good results here and there considering I just use the "waste" that didn't go into tubs. So that being said, I can't scientifically say that fanning the jars helped.... but I can say it didn't hurt and since most of the jars I fruit in only uses the GE filter for air exchange, I like to fan them some.
But I also will say I don't really care about yield that much as I typically just let them spore and die away like in that pic I posted...so I never really care if conditions are "ideal"

Well, I don't know about you, but I don't grow any mushrooms just to let them die off.
Seems like a senseless waste to me. Even if it is just a couple mushies.

Same here! Looks like my jar, which the lid has been loosened for 16 days thus far and no pins... yet. But I'm doing PE strain and I hear it takes forever to pin.

PE huh?
You're gonna wanna give that thing a load of FAE or it's gonna blob to hell and back. Probably will anyway.

Well you kind a do know about me letting mushrooms die off because I just told you I do. I enjoy growing them for hobby, I also like growing weird plants and stuff sometimes, and they eventually die. Nothing is senseless if I gained joy in seeing them from start to finish. And even if it is a couple mushies.... LOL you'd probably freak if you knew how many I let die, because I love growing them but have nothing to do with them once they are grown. I want to get into edibles so that I can atleast give those away to people but I like the simplicity of cubes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right. Because that's a great way to use an illegal felony drug after spending time and effort to subvert laws that threaten your freedom.
Whatever floats your boat guy. Have fun with that.
