First Time Grower
    #27811871 - 06/09/22 08:19 AM (2 years, 7 months ago)

First off I would like to say this site is amazing. Happy to be joining this community. This is my first attempt at growing. Iโ€™ve inoculated 3 bags so far. All straight injection from spore syringe. Ordered all pre made milo bags online.

First bag was inoculated 14 days ago from one syringe and shows no signs of anything.

The other 2 bags were inoculated 5 days ago from a different syringe but both from the same one. One shows no signs and the other has what I am hoping is mycelium everywhere. Everything I have read goes against it growing so fast and from so many places at once.

All bags stored in same small closet with the temp staying between 74-76 F. Does this look healthy? Is this some kind of rapid contam? Did I just get really lucky?

All of those are contaminated I'm sorry.

Look into working with agar. It is the start of a good clean culture. Putting spores directly on grain, and especially putting purchased spore solution directly on grain is like pulling the handle on a slot machine. If you are intent on spores >>> grain directly I'd suggest looking into Fahtster's works. He's a wizard with that stuff but does it in a very particular and careful way.

Good luck and sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the reply. I figured it would be a bumpy start. I have the supplies to start with agar. So many people recommend starting with agar, it seemed like the right thing to do. Just waiting for my prints to arrive tomorrow!

Thanks for the info!! Been hearing about PF Tek but I thought it was same as spawn bag but in a jar. Going buy the couple things Iโ€™m missing to give that a go.

That's a great choice! I think everyone should have a few pf tek grows under their belt. It's more forgiving than grain, so it's an excellent starting point. And I've gotten some pretty  good yields shredding the cakes to bulk and doing a shoebox tek

Thanks again for the info! I got everything that was needed for PF Tek and followed the instructions very meticulously. I inoculated 48 jars in total. I think I discovered something that I had a hunch about when doing this. I think the first site I was using for spores is not very reliable.

From the first site I ordered three syringes and used them with grain spawn, agar and PF Tek. Twelve of the jars were inoculated on 6/10/22 with one of the pre-made spore syringes. None of these jars have any signs of growth. The grain bags had three different results. The first grain bag was inoculated on 5/26/22 from one syringe and did not grow anything at all. Also put a few drops to agar from this syringe. The other two grain bags on 6/3/22 from one syringe. One result was the start of this post and the other has what I am sure is cobweb mold. Also transferred some of this one to agar. The agar plates either have no growth or have orange and/or green mold.

The other 36 jars were done on 6/11/22. These were done with syringes I made myself, from prints ordered from a different site. I also transferred a few spores from each print to agar. All plates have growth that looks great to me. At least compared to the other plates they look great. More than half of the jars have clean looking growth starting. I could not get a good pic of most of the agar plates because condensation is obstructing view through the lid. I took a pic of the couple that the camera would focus on.

The three syringes ordered from the first mentioned site were used between three grain bags, 12 PF Tek jars and 12 agar plates. All have either shown no growth or heavy contamination. I would think that at least one of these should have showed something promising. I don't think I will be using that site again.
