Grain Spawn Stalling Questions
    #28669374 - 02/21/24 08:51 AM (4 months, 3 days ago)

Hello,

On 1/30 I put a wedge of agar into four grain jars. Moisture seemed to be correct, hard to squeeze, but can slice with fingernail. Its been almost a month and very little has been colonized. I think I used too little of agar wedges, and my shrunken plates showed no colonization. Was planning to just use LC for future grows as I have five jars full of goodness currently. Also when storing grain jars do I screw the top on fully, or do I leave it a little cracked for air?

Do those lids have holes for GE?

Was the plate of agar dry like that when you first cut your pieces out for your jars? If it looked like the pic, then I would say that the mycelium is dead because it was allowed to dry out. If it was a good plate to begin with then you most likely have contaminated grains.
1 month should have way more growth and most likely be done and ready to send.

Plate looked like that when I took a sample. My logic was it would thrive when moved to a jar full of nutrients.

Poked holes and covered w/ two layers of micro pore tape on all jars.

That confirms my thinking, your mycelium was dead and never had a chance.
Why is your agar so dry? You did have it wrapped before you used it right? If it was never wrapped is probably why your agar dried out.
But most likely dead culture.
Sorry for your loss.
