Halted mycelin growth
    #2019895 - 10/18/03 04:07 AM (20 years, 4 months ago)

I inocculated 4 jars of GTs abouth 4 weeks ago and htey were comming along nicely, quite slow buth shurely. First signs of growth wash after abouth 1 1/2 week and it keept on growing buth abouth a week ago it stopped completley, its possible its still buth almoast unnoticable. i have 6 more jars innoculated 2 weeks after the GTs (Lipa Yai and Amazonians) and they have cought up wiht the GTs in grouth and will surpass them soon, althou not as thick growth. The jars are between 1/4 3/4 colonised should i try and sterelise a filterbag and put them in there and then unscrew the lid to let in air our is there any othe problem with the growth?

Sounds like a temp flux in your incubator. Are they all getting the same temp? Could also be your lids are too tight? Try flipping them, it worked wonders for me!! Though Amazonians colonize very quickly(not sure about Lipa Yai). Just make small changes and have patience.

Did you top them off with verm?? I wouldn't worry too much about contams by loosening the lid. I live in a mold friendly dungeon, and now have about 72 beautiful jars. I used a diff. Tek for each set of 3. Loose lids and flipping are WAY out in front! Still no contams as far as I can tell.

Maybe you put too much water? It happened to me also. And maybe not to well sterilized? Just from what I remember.

Same happened here...I innoced some pint jars of BRF on 9/20 (29 dyas ago) and there was good thich gorwth up until a week ago were the jars stopped 75% of the way...I loosed flipped, teps stay at constant 84-86...I think that the jars have dehydrated...I am thinking about filling a couple with distilled water for a day and the others just removing the colonized substrate and combining into a gallon ziplock for a day or 2...I will let you know how it turns out.

No it cant possibaly be to wet because i followed the PFtek guide to the point. Actually the other jars with the Lipa Yai and the Amazonians ARE to wet i accedentely mixed i to much wather especially on the Lipa Yai. And it cant be to dry ither because small droplets of wather is forming on some parts of the glass. I am voting for air exchange i steralised some mycobags and put twho bags in them and unscrewed the lids just a little bit ( they were on really hard) ill chek in tomorrow and se how it goes.

man ive put too much water takes AGES to colonise (took 4 months for mine) but MAN let me tell you... the amount of shrooms you get its just ASTOUNDING. on one cake the entire circumfrance every 4-5 cm is a shroom. or pins.

Yea i understand the basic hypothesis BUTH the cakes that are significantley "wetter" are the ones colonising WAY faster. The Lipa Yai cakes for exampel are WAY to wet more like mush then cake and STILL colonising faster. And as i said earlier i can probabley rule outh to dry to. Well i guess time wll tell.
Patiens is a virtue, and beleve me you have to say that to yourself a couple of times if your growing more slow growing things then mushrooms like say Peyote (15 20 years to full maturety)

did the temp go over 30 degreec C? my cambos stalled permanently because this happened & i left it in that state too long - the mycelium lost its momentum. i took a bit of tissue & cloned it into dextrose water - then reinocculated - so i wasn't a total waste of a spore syringe.
