Hey thanks for the feedback. I was just going to shake them one more time because on the other side there were some spots that are uncolonized and I want to make sure these jars are 100% before I spawn to bulk. I don’t want to take any chances on contam since it’s my first time even if I have to wait a little longer.
I think maybe I should do a journal as opposed to updating this thread, it might be a little better. What do you guys think?

Yeah I’m using the Broke Boi Tek because I didn’t have a pressure cooker at the time but now I do. It’s working pretty good for me so far so I think I may use it a few more times even though I have the PC now. Aparrently not too many people like it here but I’ve seen a lot of success on Reddit and around other sites.
There are some really good videos on YouTube by a guy named Philly Golden Teacher. Those are the ones I followed. He does a really good job explaining everything down to the specifics on all of his videos.

The consensus here is that more than one shake is usually not beneficial; slows down/weakens mycelium more than it speeds up colonization. There are people who shake more than once, so if you already did it then don’t worry too much, but I think you’re better off just waiting the last couple days than shaking again just to get a couple more spots

I can see that since they do take a few days to get back to all white again after you shake them. I’m just taking my time because I’ve read that if you spawn to bulk before you’re 100% colonized you have a higher chance of getting contaminations. At this point it’s not really about speed for me, it’s just about getting the basics down and getting through a couple successful grows and then I can try to speed up later on. I appreciate the advice man 🙂

Yeah definitely don’t spawn before you’re 100%, but avoid shaking twice if you can help it. If you already did it, then don’t sweat it and just wait until they’re back to normal then spawn away

Yeah unfortunately I did it as soon as I commented earlier. Next time I’ll try to hold off a little and see what happens. It seemed like a good idea to spread the mycelium around a little more. I think within a few days I’ll be spawning it to CVG.

Recovered super fast and they’re now 100% colonized. Put the 2 quarts of Mazatapec into about 2-3 quarts CVG with a thin casing layer. Forgot to take a pic of them after I was done. Now we wait....

This is working better than I ever expected without using a PC. Going to leave the lid on for 3 more days and flip it.

Thanks. Two quarts of spawn colonized a lot faster so I put them in this 12qt box with CVG. The other 5 quarts are in a 66qt mono now and are looking just as good 🙂
