I have two quart grain jars, both that were fully colonized 2-3 weeks ago, that I left alone on my shelf.
I checked on them and saw a liquid pooling on the bottom on the jars with a slight yellow tint.
Would this be metabolites from the mycelium or bacteria?
I’ll try to get a photo later

I’ll shake the jars to see how they recover.
That stress would be caused from fighting some time of contam I assume?
If so then I’ll assume they’re toast

WBS flour isn't a thing you can buy, right? You'd grind it up yourself?

Yep, the coffee grinder does alright with it. I also thought about using LME but not a huge fan of the brewery smell. Cooked WBS smells pretty good in comparison.

so, growers...

Agar sandwiching. I have two plates where I am trying to save a culture. No other source to turn back to.

I can see some fuzz on the surface of the top agar. No enough to show on a photo.

How long do you let it go, when do you try grab the myc?

Thanks

Almost two months and still not fully colonized? That’s not good. Also looks pretty dry in there. What is your prep method? What did you inoculate with? Did you shake yet? Unmodified lid? Is the lid tight or unscrewed a bit?

Etiquet question.

When posting a grow pic where the culture was donated by a Shroomery member...

I see that the member is seldom named. Is that they way it done?

I get it... I wouldnt want 50 PM's asking for prints/swabs, etc. At the same time nearly everyone I have dealt with are really helpful and generous people.

Thanks

It's dry AF. You have too much FAE or the coco wasn't at correct FC.

It can definitely recover, but figure out the root cause so you can prevent it from reoccurring. In addition to misting, I would partially block off/add another layer of tape to those holes at substrate level and make sure there's no drafts near the tub - at least until pins show up.

I plan on doing a bucket tek to prepare some just coir or cvg mix.
--Question is how long can I store to extra coir / cvg if I don't use all of it. If I seal it in a bag how long do yall think it would stay good for.
Previously I've just bought a pre-made cvg mix online and they claim it's good for up to 6 months if stored in the fridge.

Edit didn't mean to just reply to you tryptkaloids.

I believe you can dry it out and store it in the bag for `indefinite` amounts of time. if its dry you can just pasteurize it at a later time.

Or follow my calculated coir tek and do math. Find the ratio of expansion for your coir and make the exact amount and nothin more.
