Lend your advice shroomery! (wbs question)

ok so long time reader first time poster i have a question about WBS.
i made 5 quart jars like 2 months ago and inoc them with a spore syringe (i have the pf tek down but my first attempt at WBS) and out of the 5 only 1 jar colonized and its been very slow, could be my temp its just my closet. since then i did 12 pf jars that are almost 100 complete and my 1 wbs jar is like 80% complete and its not a super vibrant white mycelium it looks weak im pretty sure its not contam or anything the rye seeds look super dry and shriveld im thinking its running out of water...ill post picks once i know how too on here.... anyways im turing my pf jars into mulch for a base to a coir mono tub should i dump this jar of seed in with it or should i try doing grain to grain xfer? iv never done that and all i got is like a tiny homemade cheap ass ghetto style glove box im noob as fuck to bulk growing but so not too sure what to do here with the rye jar thanks!!

I'm thinking bacterial? One side seemed colonized and the other not... have you shaken it? did you PC your grain? How long? This is rye? I've only worked with wild bird seed (wbs) but have read that rye likes the dryer side, so probably not the issue there... Not supposed to rinse rye either I don't believe

Why did u shake it lots? Shake it after it comes outta the pc. Then once more when 30% of the grains are covered with mycelium. Then again b4 spawning. Too much shaking can slow or stall growth.
Wait wait, 2 months colonizing?... No Bueno man. U can try to fruit that top jar by itself in a shoebox or top fruit it. But start making a new batch. Got spores?

false. dirty myc will slow/stall growth. i shook a jar everyday once for a goof. grew shrooms just fine. and ya, 2months is awful. either toss or top fruit like nube said cause chances are that shit will mold out on you.
anyway i dont think the too much shaking thing hold any water any more than not shaking.

True. It slowed growth in my case. Never actually seen one stall from it. And every day mushboy? That's crazy. I can't say I've ever done it that much. Most I did was 4 total. When I shake once at 30 and again at 70 it's done in basically a week. Maybe 7-10 days. 14 in winter
I'm talking about g2g with the colonization times

its not crazy its something you can do when the spawn is cleeeean. some older cultivators SWEAR by multiple shakes.
thats why i tried it for myself. it didnt really do anything. colonized at about the same rate and was spawned with a few other jars.

Hmmm. Yea I'll just stick to what I know. Maybe try it on an extra jar just in the name of science. Experiments are awesome. I did an experiment recently with bovung manure/humus and it actually is working great so far. All knotted up ready to go. Maybe some pins tomorrow

Yea op needs help. That's why I asked if he had spores? So do ya? If u don't maybe someone can help out. Then we can get u going again the right way.
OP, read thru bods and hamloafs teks. They both have GREAT tells that me and everyone here use. When u look thru old posts, look at the date. If it's from before 2008, try to find newer info. There's a lot of bad info on here. Gotta sift thru it.

Or you could check out and Do what I did in my bacterial grow. Check out the sig. I mean if you were gonna throw it away anyways? Why not? All i did was DONT shake the grains , dump out the jar, take the healthy chunks of colonized myc, rinsed them off in luke warm water,place chunks in a tray, top with cococoir, threw it in my greenhouse,or a sgfc would work. The pic in my sig was a stalled completely bacterial wbs that everybody said was damned for failure. Then I seen the results and said I'll be damned.
-------------------- If you aren't happy with what you have now, how could you be any happier with more? (Get your SGFC high.)

i used s spore syringe to incoc all 5 from the same syringe im thinking it was just very poor on spores and only 1 jar took i looked again today and its still going 90% of the grain in colonized and i cant see a single contam or off color to me it just looks less then bright white, i do have more syringes but i dont wana waste them if its only gona take on 1 jar
should i dump them in its own separate mini mono tub?

Be sure to shake and flame your syringe between jars: this will help prevent dumping all your spores into one jar, our cross contaminating
