How long do you figure a 1 pint jar would take to colonize with PF Tek
    #28008677 - 10/21/22 02:02 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)

I recently just made my first PF Tek jars but opted to go with 1 pint jars that I will later spawn to bulk when fully colonized.

How long am I looking at, usually, until I start to see some signs of colonization and for the jars to be fully colonized?

Thanks in advance

(Info: Jar's kept in ambient light 12/12 cycle at 22-24ΒΊC)

Some strains are faster than others... You'll see first signs within a week or longer and it could take a few months be fully ready.

Then sometimes you can have the exact same strain from the same syringe, injected at the same time just for one jar to be faster than the other for some reason.

Months for a pf tek cake? I assume you mean weeks.

Also, not to be a downer, but IIRC pf tek jars are ideally ~250 mL, and using larger jars increases the probability of stalling.

Yep, it was my first grow and it was winter at the time. However I have heard APE takes awhile unsure if it's normally those time frames.

my half pint cakes usually take around 4/5 weeks , ive just been experimenting with syringe straight to 1 pint WBS which only took 3 weeks.
(yes i know straight to grain is usually a no no but these were made by myself and i control the environment when making them )
