First time grow- do these jars look okay?
    #26949763 - 09/22/20 05:00 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ended up with a lot of successful agar plates so I figured I'd get some practice with whole oats. Dropped a variety of plates (some fresh mycelium, some mostly grown out, and one that had already fruited a shroom) with a few different dropping techniques (tiger drop, wedges, etc.). Mostly for the practice so I'll only be slightly heartbroken if these actually aren't looking too hot.

Dropped on 9/5, shook half the jars on 9/14 and when they came back strong I shook the other jars on 9/16. I turned the jars to show the side with the most growth. It doesn't look particularly fuzzy to my untrained eye but it also doesn't look like the dense white growth that some people get. Any thoughts? Should I keep letting them grow or do another shake? Thanks everyone

Looks fine to me, just a bit tomentose. The middle jar of the single pics looks slightly bacterial but I would spawn them

Nice! Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned, the middle pic is the same jar as the previous pic, just without flash. That jar and the last single pic are the ones with the most growth right now.

I was thinking that if one jar went to 100% before the others, I would use that for G2G and then use the rest of the jars to spawn. Do you think they could use another shake, or should I wait it out?

A shake at this point would just slow things down

Sounds good, I'll wait it out then. Thanks for the help

Sorry to bump this again, but I just wanted to make sure I understood you correctly. When you said you would spawn these, did you mean you would spawn them now? Or that you wouldn't worry about contams and would spawn when they're 100%? From my understanding, I should wait until they're definitely 100% covered, and shake one more time right before spawning. Is that correct?

Definitely wait until they are fully colonized.  I just mean they look healthy enough to spawn when they are ready
