Substrate jar... 7 weeks... little activity, please help
    #23961982 - 12/28/16 06:19 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Hi all,

I have had my substrate jars going for around 7 weeks. Growth has been very slow. Signs of white growth but far from the whole jar being colonised. Any tips ? Should i take off the jar lid and let more air in ?

Conditions where i am should be very good as its kinda humid and 25c every day.

Any help much appreciated.

Whats the top of the jar look like?
Should definitely be colonized by now, may have stalled due to lack of Gas Exchange
Is there a layer of straight Verm on the top?

When you made the jars, did you cover the verm/BRF mix with a 1/2" layer of plain, dry vermiculite?

That jar looks bacterial. Do they all look like that?

PS: Never open a jar you're colonizing. It's not considered "letting in air", more like "letting in contams" :wink:
