Shit. Maybe I jumped the gun on the 3rd batch. The jars are awufully wet. They didn't look like that when I innoculated them. It happend as it was sitting in my mid 80? incubator. The heat must've raised the humidity or something. Any ways, here are a couple jars ~2.5 days after inncoulating. Whatta ya think? It's kinda greyish but overall all white. No other funny colors but they're not as bright as I have read they should be. The other two batches were deff greenish/blue though. I'll see what these babies do over the next few days. http://s89306628.onlinehome.us/01.jpg http://s89306628.onlinehome.us/02.jpg

Dr. G,
I think those look fine. The reason they're not as white as you've read is that they haven't fully colinized the jar yet. If you look at the center of the spots that show colinization, they're really bright white. When the entire jar is colonized, the entire jar will be that white. Hope this helps.

cool. Hawk still hasn't got back to me. It's been 3 days since I emailed him. I ordered 2 more 10ml syringes form spores101.com anyway. $15 shipped for 2 syringes.

It's funny because the first set of pics I posted were after leaving them out of the incubator for a day then they seemed to whiten up. Put them back in the incubator last night and they turned greyish again this morning.

Onr last pic: http://s89306628.onlinehome.us/05.jpg
You can clearly see the funky colors tonight. Even I cn see that it's not right. I should have my new syringes in a couple days hopefully. I'll keep you posted. Damn I hope it was the syringe or I don't know what else to try. It really shouldn't be this difficult. I'm not gonna quit til I get it down though.

Do a karo tek first. Even with some contamination, just use a needle and suck up the good mycelium without disturbing, moving around and contamination growing..but if you do get contamination, innoculate to another karo jar...again and again until you get one without any contamination. Pain in the ass, but fastest way I know to save a favorite strain 3-5 days to find out each time opposed to waiting for grain or flour without knowing if it will be good or not. BTW, don't suck up much at all if you do get contamination and sterilize the needle with a flame after you suck up a tiny amount of the tissue, before injecting into a new karo jar (or several jars to increase chances of success).

I do see some green in that last pic. It's hard to tell with digital cams, though.

The pic came out pretty good. It looks pretty much the same through my eyes. Oh well. Like I said I should be getting my new spores pretty soon. I'll just let those jars go an see what happens. I got plenty of extra jars where it won't matter if those couple jars are being used.
