What am I doing wrong? Grain Spawning (pics)
    #25931173 - 04/12/19 06:41 PM (5 years, 9 months ago)

These jars are on day 8 and are looking weak AF and slow to grow. This is my first attempt at mycology and I have absolutely put the time in reading/researching daily. I followed Bod's TEKS for Agar, Oat Prep, and A2G with no problems except my jars have never took off. This is my 2nd set of jars. 10 on 1st attempt= FAIL 10 on 2nd attempt= :thumbdown:. Temps for spawn have been 68-70* F with natural sunlight form window. My thoughts: Weak myc on agar, grains too dry, or lids with SFD (1/4") hole not enough GE. I'm stuck and need help if anyone has the time. My heart is in the right place and I am not giving up on this.

8 days is nothing man. If you’re serious about this hobby, you’ll need to gain some patience. And I don’t see anything wrong with those after that amount of time. But I’m fairly new as well.

Looks like 8 days.. just curious.. what temp are you keeping them at? I used to leave them in my basement which is like 65-68ish.. my last jars i kept on top of my grow tent which was bout 75 and it was a massive difference in speed.

Ha, 8 days.:jah:
Not to be rude, give that single quart usually 14 days to see 50%
Once you get to clones, then you might colonize faster. Usually take 30days to see 100% for me, after two shake and sets, I've learned not to mess with it. Find something else to do, more agar work.
Wait til you get to bags, five quarts take forever...

Usually 68-70ish, but the temp may have fallen to lower 60's as I was not home for 2 days and maybe contributed a bit. Do you recommend turning the heat upon on them icetech?

Give me a minute and I'll throw some up. I do not believe that I have the original cultures, but I can show the 3rd transfer taken from about 2 weeks ago if you feel this would help. Wouldn't mind getting an opinion on those as well. I'll post them...........just need a minute or 2.

Why are you taking giant trandfers?

Try to cut a diamond style hatch mark as tiny as possible, like a mini tik tak toe. You want the smallest piece you can take.

Honestly those cultures look like ass:sad:

Did you get opinions about the cultures before going to grain?

Thanks mushboy, still working getting good prints. Do you think my MS syringes are bacterial? This is my 3rd transfer and they really have not been looking great thus far. They were not from Shroomery. I followed every TEK and recipe and about the 2 week mark, they all get really fluffy and some bacterial. I've tried different recipes and everything I can think of. I've done 141 dishes already between germination and transfers. It's not for lack of effort or pure laziness. Please remember, I am new at this and don't mind criticism, but if I need to clean something up or do something else then please tell me. Please take no offense to this, but telling me they look like shit is neither encouraging or helpful. My reasons for mycology are not recreational and if you care to discuss further, I would welcome the conversation.

id get new spores. you can access the marketplace:awesomenod:

just keep practicing. best advice i can give is to make smaller neater transfers. yours are really jagged like they were ripped out or something.

are you sure those are 2% the cultures that are healthish looking are also really dense. they look like they are growing on 4% media imo

Thanks mushboy, Marketplace in 4 days for me. I will hit my 90 day requirement by then. I am going to trash the MS syringes I have as I am not happy with the results to date. I know its not the TEK that I've been following because the advice and posts here have been amazing. Has to be the syringes and I appreciate your help very much.
