Hello dear people.

  I have tried to do my first mushroom grow tek. I have read and researched a lot, and decided to try Bod´s simple TEK.  it's been 21 days after i inoculated the jars ( I made a syringe with a spore print).

  21 days and i only see some kind of gray spots. Are they contaminated?

I attached images in zip.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Without looking at the pictures, yes.

Sorry buddy.  21 days with no mycelium isn’t good.  Anything weird showing up under those circumstances is almost certainly no bueno.

Back on the horse 🐎 👍

I do not see any grey, you can spot that nasty stuff easy. The jars do not look like they colonized. Did you inject in 3 ports? 21 days is a long time not to even see a tiny glimmer of hope. I cycle enough jars that if its not happening the jar gets tossed and reused.

Yes,i injected in 4 holes, 1/4 cc per hole aprox.I had a spore print ,and prepared the syringe myself. What could have gone wrong?

Should I throw away what's inside and boil and reuse the jars?
Thanks !

What do you have in the jars?

If it’s a grain, especially whole oats, they are much harder to colonize by first germinating spores on them like with a syringe.

It’s better if you can drop an agar wedge, or inoculate with LI/LC if using grains.

Otherwise you could try inoculating BRF jars with your syringe and then grate them into small pieces when you spawn.

I have followed Bod´s BRF tek. Vermiculite + brown rice flour ( i made the flour grinding brown rice).

Maybe i ll try agar , but i dont have a PC, this is a problem i guess for agar , isnt?

Thanks for reply!

I have had problems with excess moisture. Did you drop 100cc total into a jar? When I was making my own I thought more was better but it ended up causing the before mentioned grey mold. I stick with jars and the lack of feedback I got on mono tubs means its not changing anytime soon. People will say go read posts not realizing *no sh*t sherlock I read the posts" they are all over the place for solutions and one size does not fit all conditions. 4/2/2 is a good example its more like 5 2.5 2.5 for 8 jars. Gypsum another example. No it does not work, yes it works, its great, it sucks etc etc. It works in certain conditions like everything else. Even when I built an auto FC all I got was "dude why didnt you follow the instructions".

The great thing about jars is that you can cycle them quickly if they are not doing well. I do 8 at a time sometimes 12 every couple of weeks so its constant. Every problem I ran into was mostly conditions. The big one was trying to help someone learn they tracked in bad luck and I am just recovering(nicely).
