Puerto Rican jars not germinating
    #25110369 - 04/03/18 08:11 AM (5 years, 10 months ago)

So I inoculated 105 RB Quart jars on 3/17/18, literally the only strain that hasn’t germinated or shown any sign of starting is the 8 jars of Puerto Rican, should I be worried or just be patient. Any messages or replies would be greatly appreciated.

That mean you still have 97 qt jars with growth in them so I wouldn´t be too worried if I was you :smirk:

Germination can take up to a month before you can call it anything really :shrug:

I appreciate the info. I just thought it was odd everything else was going great and these just weren’t doing anything.

Could just be you got an old syringe. Unfortunately it's really hard to diagnose why spores aren't germinating especially if you have 97 jars right  next to them that didn't have problems.

Have you grown a lot before? Since you inoculated 105 jars with spores I think it would behoove you to post pictures of all of them to check for contamination. An extra set of eyes couldn't hurt and Spore syringes are not 100% clean. Doing an operation that size from spore syringe is risky in my opinion but I'm glad to hear things sound like they are going well so far.

Doing 100 jars from spores is a better bet i guess. Even tho spores to grain sucks having 100 means youll at least get 20-50 that are useable

Sorry, "better bet" than what exactly?

The syringes I bought off i didn't read the rules before posting dot com I had to make a whole bunch of other syringes on top of that, all the other jars aren’t showing any contamination, except one of my jars has an odd yellow mold that doesn’t look like the good white mycelium , but I’m just kinda keeping an eye on it. I’ll post pictures in a day or two. I had a golden teacher syringe that’s been sitting in the fridge for a few months and all the corresponding jars are pretty solid.

Why keep eyes on a bad jar. The bad only gets worse and harder to clean.

Gotcha :thumbup:

Yeah if you're going to go mediocre then make sure to go big so you'll be guaranteed some success.

I mean if it looks completely screwed then I’ll toss it,  the jar in particular is a Galandoi strain. I can’t tell if the mold looks off because of the coffee I used or what exactly the issue is, that’s why I’m waiting it out.

100% contaminated. If you want to save the jars. Steam them or pressure cook 35 minutes before opening it and cleaning. Otherwise it will definitely ruin your other projects.

So is that 4 jars down? You started with 105, then down 8 jars to 97, then down 4 to 93? Where do we stand?

Nah that’s just one jar that was in question with mold, other than that I’m waiting on 8 total Puerto Rican jars, and 4 Orissa India jars out of 8. So 13 total including the potential mold, so 92 jars total that’s started.

Ive never ever pressure cooked a contaminated jar. Ive had tubs full of trich in my grow room before. Never caused me a problem. Its a good idea to dump outside but the paranoia of down the line problems is overblown to say the least. I dump out my bad jars in my kitchen or outside.
