1st Monotub.Golden Teacher.
    #23994580 - 01/09/17 08:17 AM (7 years, 21 days ago)

Just knocked up twelve one liter jars of white millet with 20cc of golden teacher spore solution.

  I used a PC to sterilize the millet, and since I dont have a PC big enough for twelve large jars, I put the millet into a couple spawn bags w/ filter patches.

  Using synthetic filter disc tops on the jars. inoculated through the filter discs and repaired the holes with micropore tape.

Yes, I know I used too much spore solution. Call it an experiment... Not really worried about it as money isn't really an issue, and I have two more spore syringes waiting in the wings (Mazapatec & Penis Envy).  Plus I bought a big enough bag of millet to feed a small nation.

Yes, I also know that you don't generally inoculate through filter discs, but it just turned out to be the easiest way for me.

Also, the pic shows the actual lids on top of the filter discs.  Took the pic before i decided to remove the lids.  Figured the discs and the tape would do the job just fine.

Why would you ruin a filter like that.  You might as well just have used micropore tape.  To make it worse you put the discs on the wrong side of the jar....

Off to a great start I see

I don't get it, you have 12 jars pictured. I hope you did not sterilize the grain in bags and then transfer into jars? This can be done successfully if you retreat the jars, they should only need a steaming. Or maybe if done in an SAB or in front of a flow hood, but certainly not advisable, but the empty jars would of course have to be sterile beforehand.

Money is not the issue about not using too much. People take for granted there will be contams in syringes and so use less decreases the chance of them getting in.

Obviously money is not an issue. I love seeing people with money try things its so extensive and such a wonderful failure. Keep up the good work though :-p. You aught to watch the lets grow mushroom series and perhaps you would be less likely to un- nessiairly throw the money you have plenty of out the window. Till then happy mushrooming.

I used to have my filters under the jar lid.  The filter is never going to dry out and allow contams through.

First off, I didn't use too much spore solution on purpose... I used 20cc for my first grow which was 30 PF tek cakes in pint jars, and it worked out great.  So being a noob I thought the same amount of solution for 12 one liter jars was appropriate.  Whats done is done and I'm not too worried about it.  If i get contams or a failed grow, I'll start over.  Simple as that.

Secondly what do you mean i put the discs on the wrong side of the jar? They only fit one way.  As i stated, i decided not to use the metal lids with the filter discs and that pic was taken before i removed the metal lids.. Also, what do you care if i ruin my filter discs by poking holes in them?  I have tons of them and you aren't paying for them.

Thirdly.. Yes i did sterilize the millet in bags then transfer to the jars.  I did soak the jars and rings in a diluted bleach water solution and steamed them. And yes i have watched the Lets Grow Mushrooms series.

Also, constructive criticism is fine, but the rules of this forum clearly state no flaming, and couple of the responses are bordering on just that. 

It's all a learning experience, and If I'm not upset by my mistakes, I'm not sure why anyone else should be.  At the very least, if i should fail, my grow log will be documented and can be used as a "what not to do" example.  Cut me some slack please.

Anyway, heres a pic of what the finished inoculated jars currently look like.

Your jars are gonna dry out like that....

And like I said, why use an sfd if youre just gonna ruin it? Who cares if you can afford to, thats beside the point....

If yoy want to inject through the lid use polyfil or create a ship

That sounds like you did purposely use more than recommended. If you have trouble squirting small amounts let me know and I will post tips.

PF jars are more forgiving than grain jars. Contams are thought to be less likely to grow or take over PF jars, rice is thought to be more selective about what grows on it. PF jars are not shaken so if there is a small spot of contams it cannot readily spread throughout the jar.

People give a shit about others. I imagine we have had hundreds of potentially good growers who might have had great new ideas put off in the early stages of growing, and so gave up all hope about growing or thought it just wasn't for them.

How did you transfer the millet to the jars? if done in open air they are definitely contaminated. Also how long did you sterilize the bags? they take a long time.

In lets grow mushrooms he shows how to do the jars with discs, the metal disc with small holes sits on the jar, then the filter disc on top, the the screw on ring. The jars will lose too much moisture as said above, also the discs risk getting wet from the grains and contams growing through the discs.

If you transferred in open air, and/or did not PC your bags long enough I would re-sterilize the jars. I would take the caps off and put the metal lids on underneath and PC them.

I am a big fan of experimentation but if you are planning anything unusual just run it by people first, surely you put some value your own time.

Thank you blackout, your response was well thought out and constructive.. I appreciate that.

I sterilizated the millet in the PC for 90 minutes at 15psi. Yes i transfered open air, but with as many precautions as humanly possible, lysol around work area, gloves, no hvac, large sterilized metal spoon, surgical mask, etc.

I know it probably wasn't enough, but I'm takimg the wait and see approach now as it's already done.

Good luck.  Just for the record Im not being a dick at all, Im at work on a phone so my responses are pretty short....

Youll have much better results if you pick a tek and follow it until you get more experience.  I wouldnt get your hopes up gor this grow though

I've read some members talk about success in open air but I wouldn't risk it. A still air box is super cheap and easy. But if you want to open air it you should use Ozium cause it's for airborne bacteria. Lysol is just for surfaces.

Op sounds like you got some future contam-ed ms grain jars.(Please post future pics) While your waiting for the contams to show up why don't you just whip up some agar, take a few transfers, get a clean dish, whip up some more grain jars, put the sfd on the top and grain inside about 3/4 full(before pc'ing), and knock each jar up with a wedge(not popping any holes in your sfd's).

Sound advice.  Never tried agar before but I'm willing to give it a shot.  Is there a favorite simple agar tek?

If money isn't that much of a issue, buy some good stuff. Here's a few things to check out.

Premade flowhood.
Self healing injection ports
All American 930
1000 mediem spawn bags (bulk saves money )
Excalibur dehydrator
Potato dextrose agar
Petri dishes
Staples

I could probably go on for a week, but if you have the money to do it, mite as well do it right!

You will for sure get a conatmination.

Only 90minutes for PCing + Open Air transfer + wrong lid build + ms spore + no SAB and so on and so on.

Buddy, I don't mean it offensive, but there are so many contamns vectors in your work, it can't go well.

Just start again, throw away the millet before they are so conatminated that you have to throw away the whole jar, clean out the jars well and start over again.


You don't have to sterilize all the jars at the same time. You could start at the morning, sterilze the first batch of jars for 2 hours, then the next batch and so on until all the jars are sterilized. Let them cool for over night and start inoculation the day after.

This will minimize your conatamn risk.

Follow the teks of LGM and start with agar or do PF-Tek until you have learned to work with agar. MS syringes aren't a good idea for grain jars, believe us! :smile:

And that sir is your mistake. With mushroom cultivation there really is no experimenting when you first start out. (It's all been done). The best way to learn is to follow 1 Tek EXACTLY till you have good results a few times to get the process and method down. Then in the future you can tweak an try new things. But at the beginning it will just try your patience.

You mentioned money isn't an issue and for most people its not either. It's time. A full tub grow can take 4-6 weeks depending on weather an other factors. That's a big time sink for something that's almost assuredly going to be a waste in the end you feel?

And though people in the cult forum can come off like dicks they generally are trying to help. It's just that literally all day every day posts like your come up. It can be a little annoying.

But stick with it cultivation is actually really interesting and a lot of fun it just requires patience and being able to follow directions EXACTLY (at first anyways).

Welcome!

I think it's overkill to throw out the spawn. Might as well wait for them to colonize or contam while starting new jars. I recently put rye spawn to bulk with no contam problems and it was multispore. If he has to throw them out then so what he'll already have new jars knocked up with proper procedure. And if money is no object surely 10 bucks for a new pack of jars isn't an issue.

Look up still air boxes to start they are worth their weight in gold an very easy to make. Also stupid cheap. That way you can find out if hardcore cultivation is your bag before throwing down big money.

I don't think I have read of anyone cooking in grain bags and putting them into jars in open air. People even frown upon doing PF jars in open air, or using SHIPs in open air.

If doing high ratio G2G you could possibly get it to grow, as the already established growth is so quick to take off. Totally inadvisable though.

The only way this would work that I can see is if you transferred it while it was still at 100C, straight out of the PC so any airbourne contams would be possibly killed, but that is still totally inadvisable. But if the bags were only done for 90mins I think there is no hope. I would not do my 500ml jars for 90mins at 15psi.

I still think the best option is to sort the filters out and resterilize them in the PC, at least 120mins. Even just do half the jars or whatever will fit in the PC for one cycle.

If you have the $$ you may want to consider a freeze dryer. It's an outstanding way to store your fruits for the long term and retain all the potency. Put them in as soon as you harvest and run it right away. It's awesome. But they are not cheap.

So far two of the twelve jars are showing signs of colonization.  One of those two also has what looks like black mold and the other looks healthy.

I shitcanned the jar with the mold. Did not open it for obvious reasons.

With grains gotta do the toilet paper test for moisture. That's what I do works every time. But keep us posted! :popcorn:

Yea grain looks wet and then really dry at the top, because too much GE

You only want a small amount of GE too much will dry it out and the mycelium doesnt really need a lot of oxygen to colonize with just enough

Some of them still look a little too wet, but most of them showing signs of healthy colonization with no contams (yet).

Would shaking them help at this point? I know you usually don't shake until 30% colonized (and right now it seems they are at around 10%), but would it possibly help with moisture distribution?

Just a quick update.  The remaining 11 jars are about 20% colonized and are looking very healthy. :smile:

So in direct opposition to what everyone says, it appears that besides the one jar that got contaminated, all of my white millet spawn jars are very healthy.

My question is this... Could it be that they just *appear* healthy and that contams could rear their ugly heads after I spawn to bulk substrate?

Well being as you inoculated your jars via spore syringe, there's really no way to know for sure.
That's why most cultivators on here would advise to take the preliminary step and get a clean mycelium through agar work in a SAB.
It really does put your mind at ease, it's one less thing to worry about as you proceed with your grow, trust me, it's worth the extra effort.

What do your jars look like right now? Just because they're a bit bacterial, doesn't mean you can't spawn them to cvg and get a decent first flush.
It may not be the best output, but you'll more than likely get something :thumbup:

I've never grown white millet spawn, so I don't know how susceptible to bacteria it is.

Those last pics don't look too bad,  though the bottom looks wetter than the top. 
Any update pics?

Yeah I totally get what you're saying and I'll be doing that for any future grows for sure. I'll post some current pics of the jars when I get home from work

Even if the spawn is white there can be some bacteria hidden. You are going to want to smell your jars before you spawn them to your sub. They should smell like fresh mushrooms and with maybe a hint of mustiness. However the fresh mushroom smell should be the dominant scent. If it smells rotten or otherwise toss it. If you inoculated with a syringe there is a risk. I recently inoculated with a syringe and was able to colonize my grain, then sub, and then get 3 good flushes between two tubs. While I was diligent with my sterile technique, I believe I was a benefactor of getting good syringes from a reliable vendor + GT are a pretty hardy strain. You'll find out soon enough

Here's a couple photos of some of the jars... They are all pretty much the same.

Just shook them up to distribute the mycelium and some of that moisture on the bottom.
