Slow or no mycelium growth
    #26924939 - 09/08/20 04:10 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I'm a newbie, I've used the PK tek years ago, but now I'm trying to upgrade to monotubs. So I've got my corn it's from a feed store chain. I do a soak over night then simmer, let cool maybe I didn't let dry enough. I jared up in quarts 90 mins in the PC. I have hard water it left white residue on my jars after PC, so I switched to spring water from the store. I wanted fast colonization but I think I hurt myself by putting 2cc's of spore syringe in each jar. So only 2 have started showing mycelium one contaminated greenish blue moss on top of corn. Nothing on the other yet it's been about 10 days. Any advice?

My advice is to do some laundry, dump the moldy one outside, then wash the clothes you wore to do so.

Then start Agar
, that is the most consistent method to get clean spawn.

And clean spawn is everything.

Also, try a smaller grain like wheat or rye. They are easier to prep.

I would suggest that you clean cultures on agar before going to spawn.  Syringes are inherently dirty. I know you said you want things to move fast, but that is seldom how things work in this hobby, especially for newbies that haven't figured out what process works best for them :smile:

On the grain prep...you definitely want to allow the grain to dry properly before putting into jars to PC.
