Newbie with colonisation issue
    #28666185 - 02/18/24 10:20 PM (10 months, 23 days ago)



This is my first attempt at growing mushrooms (B+). I followed the instructions of the following:
https://doubleblindmag.com/mushrooms/how-to-grow-mushrooms/how-to-make-a-spore-syringe/
https://urbanspore.com.au/how-to-grow-mushrooms/pf-tek/
https://tripsitter.com/magic-mushrooms/cultivation/
https://healing-mushrooms.net/pf-tek

I started this before Christmas, nothing seemed to happen for a couple of weeks, I got a little discouraged and I got onto other projects. I checked again, and something has happened. However, since reaching this point, absolutely nothing has changed - no more growth at all.

Is there something I can do to jump-start these back into life? Or do I need to start again? Any thoughts on the likely cause of failure here?

Many thanks!

Does your lid have a filter for GE (gas exchange) or only those syringe ports? If you do start over make sure to fill the jars a tad more and make sure to fill to the top with more verm.

The instructions you've followed have some serious mistakes, and you probably did a few on your own. Take a look here and start again, asking questions as they come up. As for the mixture, use the 2:1:1 ratio, but first Mx the verm with water, and then add the BRF. Also, don't use those jars, they will take forever to colonise. 200-250ml widemouth jars are preferable.

Thank you both for your replies.

WyoMX: They're just syringe ports - no gas exchange.

Skropi: I'll go over those instructions - and buy some new jars!

Syringe filters don't allow enough ge unfortunately,  the jars will stall out.
