is there too long for a brf jar to consolidate?
    #26506566 - 02/27/20 01:57 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

I have 1 jar birthed and 6 between half and 3quarter consolidated.. it has been over 7 weeks since consolidation.. can they take too long, or is it just a waiting game? Cold house I think..

Thanks thanks

7 weeks is too long pics would help us determine if it is contaminated he sever that sounds like the case

No. Actually if you wait longer it can make the shrooms more potent.

I recently let one go 100 days.


This assuming you’re saying consolidation as in time left sitting after 100%.


after re reading im pretty sure you meant colonization.

Might’ve stalled out from the jar shape.

7 weeks is a long time. Looks like decent myc though. There’s probably ways to fix it but I don’t do cakes so I’m not sure how.

wrong jars, they tend to stall.
I would birth it and rinse off the uncolonized stuff then dunk n roll

That mixture looks too wet and loose. Probably why its taking so long. Causing cake-fracturing cause of the loose material and the material is too wet for mycelium.

Thanks, Sounds like time to birth them.. from the other comments, my jars are around 0.7 pint.. only wide mouths i could find at a reasonable price..Re the wet mixture, it is of course a possibility. I followed the 'lets grow mushroom pftek' vids.

Thanks again all. Best way to learn and absorb.

Always make sure its at field capacity as in the mixture excretes a tiny amount of water when u squeeze it in your hand. PF tek is sensitive to these optimum moisture levels.

of recipe is damp at best, the verm is at field capacity before the flour is added, if u can squeeze a drop it's too wet.
the reason it looks too wet is again the wrong jars, gravity drawing moisture and compacting the substrate making it hard for mycelium to colonize and breathe so they take forever.

Thank you all again.

Ok so I threw 3 jars with some kind of bacterial contamination.

Birthed the 3 good ones that were part colonized, removed unused substrate, rinsed and now dunking.

The 3 birthed ones smelt a bit vinegary until I removed the unused substrate. After removal the cakes smelt mushroomy. It's it a good idea to keep them and see if they fruit? Concerned about contamination.

Thanks

They will fruit even with bacterial contam but I would not consume mushrooms that don’t smell like mushrooms

I will give them a go fruiting and take it from there.

Thanks

I'll start a new batch soon, just need smaller jars

Are they 340g jam jars? I have used them with sort-of success for BRF jars but they did take ages and some contammed a little. Still fruited though. I didn't birth the worst one, just removed the lid and put a plastic baggie over it and it threw out some shrooms eventually!

I use those jars for grains now, also any big pickle jars and the like, since I can get them cheaper than quart jars and all I have to do is eat lots of pickles.

Yeah basically jam jars..

I searched everywhere for smaller ones, the type everyone uses on the states, but real pricey where I live..

I saw that you can use glass tumblers, 240ml ones and use room foil instead of kids, so I'll try that as the tumblers are cheap.


All of my jars did really well then stalled, bar one, so there is hope with smaller recepticles.


Cheers
