Mycelium Grow Rate
#25587305 - 11/02/18 04:39 PM (6 years, 2 months ago) |

So I have 6 jars. In one, there is nothing happening. In the others, I have 6 starting to grow, but it seems the one is extremely fast.
Can I keep them in the dark until the Mycelium is 100% complete on all 5 jars, or is there a time period before they must go into a cycle for growth?
Thanks in advance.

Keeping the jars in the dark till 100% is not necessary. I used to do it and I stopped 10 years ago.

I just started my first PF Tek grow, inoculated 12 1/2 pint jars with B+ spores from a syringe on 10/17/18. I can tell you after 2 weeks and 2 days, that's just the way they are. One jar REALLY took off and is about 70-80% colonized, some jars are anywhere from 25-60%, and one jar that is barely showing any mycelium, but it IS there and colonizing slowly. That's just the way it is with Multi-spore syringes. Everything I've read on here says that darkness isn't necessary or recommended during the colonization period. Just let them sit on a shelf where they'll get some ambient light, and keep an eye on them, they'll get there when they get there. I'm pretty sure you can leave the faster colonizing ones sit until the rest catch up and birth them all at the same time. If one or more should start pinning in the jar before the rest are done colonizing, birth em, dunk and roll, and stick em in your fruiting chamber, then when the others are ready you can add them later.

Can you imagine how many years we all put our jars in the dark what a waste of time

Because I want to crumb them and do a bulk tek, but obviosly I don't want the fast jar to start pinning. That is why I am concerned that they all won't be ready together for the bulk. Any tips?

Don't over think it. Just wait until they are all finished. Worst case scenario the fast one has a couple pins. Just mix them in when you spawn.
You got nothing to worry about.
