Rye grain

Hey, first of all, amazing site full of great information so thanks guys and girls!

It's my first attempt at growing but I thought I'd jump in and use a spawn jar and bulk substrate in a monotub. I spent a good amount of time reading up and everything is going well enough so far but my spawn jar seems to be struggling to colonize the bottom inch of the grain. From what I have read I should be patient and just wait? I read somewhere i could just take what's colonized and leave the remaining grain however it's been just over a month now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Never use spawn until the whole thing is colonized.

With grain jars , once a spot about the size of a small fist is fully colonized bang the jar against something (like a tire or a roll of duct tape) to break up the grain and shake the jar up. This will spread the colonized grains and it will finish colonizing very quickly.
Pay attention to how fast and how well the mycelium recovers too, you can often catch mold or bacteria this way.

How many jars do you have? You will want 4-6 quarts for a full size tub.

If you are working with grains you should really be inoculating them with a clean culture on agar, syringes aren't clean enough for grains. It can be done but it's risky.
So if you aren't using agar, start reading up on it so you can use it for your next grow! :thumbup:

Awesome, thanks very much, I've just bashed the jar and broken the grain up and theres a lot less mycelium than I thought. I did use a syringe for inoculation, I was not aware of the risk, more reading needed, I'll look into the agar, if this project does not go well I'll take it as a learning curve, tha lsd again.
