How do my millet jars look? Ready to spawn?

Knocked up some millet jars a couple of weeks ago, growth wasn't starting that strong, so I thought they had failed. I even made a thread about it. Then last Wednesday I shook them, monitored them for a couple days, growth was spreading, but not like how I thought it should be. I thought they were goners and got some agar going. I forgot about them for several days, got some agar going, and looked again today, and now I see a significant difference. This weekend will make two weeks since I knocked them up, and I shook them last week. How do they look to you? Is it spawn time? What do you guys think?

Not every single grain is completely covered and white, but it looks pretty well overall colonized. I think I'm being too critical of it. Is this pretty typical of how millet colonizes and looks this way? So this millet spawn looks good and healthy and 100 percent ready to spawn then?

There's a a grain at the top of the first jar that you can see is mycelium rizomorphic with a ring around it, like an agar culture. Can anyone give me a reading and what you take from that?

If not ever grain is colonized then it's not quite ready. It looked ok in the pics, but yeah there are a few that still need covered. The mycelium looks strong tho.
That one clump stuck to the jar is just some colonized grain.

It hasn’t gotten anymore than this last couple of days, I thought they were colonized and ready to spawn. Are they good, healthy, and ready?

Spawn time. If there is one clump, it will colonize when you introduce the added air.

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that. I mean you do shake them, for the process of spawning and dumping them to your tub. So in that sense yes.

Yeah did that last week. These are how my jars looks now, I think they’re completely colonized and ready to go. They really haven’t changed the last couple of days when I posted those pictures. I was waiting another day or so to see if got any more or anything in case there was more colonization, but that’s how they still look. Just trying to get some more experienced feedback. I was thinking it’s time to spawn then and must be done colonizing. What do you think of them? How do they look to you? You think they look good and ready to spawn?

I'm personally spawning jars that look like that as we speak. Only rye rather than millet.
And should really be updating my LAGM grow with the process.

Well I went ahead and broke open two of my jars. One was half full, and the other 3/4, so I used about 1.5 quarts of spawn mixed in with bulk substrate. Hopefully that should give me a good colonization rate. I also used Damion5050 coir verm tek.
I was questioning the colonization the last couple of days in my jars if they were a hundred percent done and waited a couple more days, but nothing really changed than the most recent jar pictures, so I’m sure they were done. Based on what others told me on here also who are more experienced than me they said looked done and to spawn. Each jar of spawn that I shook and broke up spawning also smelled like fresh mushrooms, so hopefully that’s a good sign that it was time to spawn!


I want to shout out A.k.a and gizmo1!!! I knocked up some agar and waiting on that!

Lol that guys name just keeps on giving, love how often it comes up.
Looking good man nice and level. Now you can just relax and wait for the shrooms to roll in.
Did you put a casing or just top layer of coir?

Damion5050 is his name.
Damion 5050 or damion 50/50 is gibberish.

Does it really matter? He used a coir vermiculite substrate mix..

I did coir and verm, and mixed it all up together with my spawn. Didn’t do layering, just mixed it all up all over. Then I just put a light sprinkle on the top from the left over substrate just to barely cover the surface.
My other two jars I’m still keeping incubated just to see if the growth changes any at all or becomes more covered or anything. I still waited a couple of days on the others I just spawned, but there were no significant changes really anywhere, so based on that and from others saying it looks time to spawn I came to a decision that they must be colonized after nothing more happening for a couple days. I don’t think millet gets completely solid white everywhere, and that’s what I was expecting and waiting for, but believe you’re right - it tends to colonize a little differently and won’t be completely solid white everywhere. Everyone else also told me on here it looked good, healthy, and ready to go so I just went for it today. Whenever I broke open my spawn jars it smelled like fresh mushrooms too, so that’s a good sign also!
So now hopefully the fruiting stage begins!!! I’m going unmodified and just letting it sit. I spawned straight to fruiting conditions, 12/12 light cycle, and I’m going to flip the lid up on the latches in the next couple of days to start FAE once I see the substrate start to colonize a little. I used 2 jars of spawn, and with all the millet with the maximum number of inoculation points I hope I get a decent colonization rate and time. In your experience about how long should if generally take for the substrate to colonize? One week?
