First official log in and tossing in a few NEwbee questions
    #26470194 - 02/05/20 12:10 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Hello all!
Yesterday I inoculated BRF Qt jars, three with GT strain and four with Albino. Followed recipe to the t. Although vermiculite was included in recipe, I realized I did not top off the jars with dry vermiculite before inoculating. Will the little dudes be alright? Should I disturb the process and open jars and dazzle them with vermiculite or leave them be and hope for the best? I have a couple more prepped jars that I'll incorporate steer poo-poo with, to observe a difference in growth with GT since I have more of this solution at my disposal and Albino has a slower growth. Other question is, once the mycellium starts taking form, how soon do you do the transfer into the fruiting chamber? Today, I will be drilling holes for monotub and installing a 2' 32w LED Hang light from lid out of 70QT Sterilite container. So excited!!!! Anyhow, do I shake the jars into an aluminum tray (while I shimmy my shoulders to some awesome reggae) or directly into say a lined garbage bag? This is where I get stuck since there is a plethora of information out there with so many techs. Does shaking the jar disturb or break the mycellium? I know, I feel like such a baby novice, but I won't apologize for wanting to be an awesome grower!
In the meantime, I have portobellos in Shoebox with a weeklong headstart on cardboard, steer manure, and brown rice. Have been doing so many months worth of research, how to videos, and proggressively accumulating supplies. Never hurts to ask for more help with those willing to offer their wisdom.
I just want to say, a lot of hours are being invested in research, still have a kazillion questions, but any input will be graciously assessed and put into use. Thanks for reading and stay awesome

1 - if you used quart jars for PF Tek, you're probably not going to see any success.
2 - dry vermiculite layer is also critical to PF Tek success.
3 - wait until fully colonized to birth into fruiting chamber, but if 1 and 2 are the case, you likely will not reach full colonization.
4 - if you used BRF for PF Tek cakes, you don't shake.

Hey there!
Thanks for your response. Checked on the little guys, and mycelium growth is apparent in all GT and Portobello containers. Only two show activity in the Albino jars. Inoculated ten more jars with GTs and Albinos (with verm. topping this time), as an added security measure in case first batch isn't succesful. Time will tell. Stay awesome!
