Did you inoculate against the glass or in the center of the cake?

Against the glass to the best of my abilities

And it hasn't spread to the left side of the jar yet just middle and the Pic of the right side of it

Cool cool. Yeah so you want to wait about 7 days after the entire cake is fully colonized to ensure the mycelium has reached the center since we cannot check that visually.

For this reason I personally like to do my PF inoculations in the center of the cake, that way when the outside is done you know the interior of the cake has long since been finished.

Long story short, yes, give it a week after the outside is done.

Yeah now I can definitely see why you say inject in the middle it's good for me to be able to watch the growth because it's my first grow but yeah I'll just have to rely on the visual that the whole jar is covered in mycelium 360 degrees around the jar and wait 7 days to make sure thanks.

While I got you should I be getting a FC really soon or do you think it'll take a while?

It’s got a ways to go. What FC are you thinking? They’re pretty easy to assemble.

Okay great thatll give me some time.

I'm going to be using a water tub but I bought a wire rack that's fuckin 10 inches tall and I'm thinking I'm gonna have to get a monster fc. I don't have a saw or anything to cut the racks with or I would. Only thing I can think to do is buy a bigger tub. So I've just been waiting as long as possible to make a trip down to lowes.

Here's a Pic of my SAB with the wire racks and jar size on it

And that's a 58 qt tub

Doesn't look like there's any room to fruit

Do you happen to have any small tubs on hand? Like a shoebox?

You can fruit a cake in a gallon bag with some coir if you’re in a pinch, too.

Theres lots of options. Water tubs are great they work just fine, but if it’s too big for your needs you can also bury a few cakes in a layer of coir and they’ll fruit that way too.

You’ve got time, though.

If you have the money, either get a dremel tool or some cookie cooling racks. The dremel will solve the issue with your current rack and be a useful tool for a lot of things in the future. The cookie racks will solve your current rack dilemma, and can be used as a raised floor in a still air box (SAB) when you get to that point.

Actually I don't have any small tubs around the house which is weird. We mustve thrown away old ones. Such a shame.

Good advice though because my dad ordered a Grow bag and if it's looking dodgy I wouldn't mind getting another tub and some coir. Or like you said if the water tub is just too big it's good to have options thank you smelly :hug:

That's a good idea. Yeah I definitely can't afford a dremmel at this point so Baking cooling rack is the way to go. I just wasn't sure how I'd raise it up. Maybe just some heavy stable objects but what?

True. I'm not very handy and have shaky hands but if I'm careful about it, it should be realitively easy. I guess I can cut it hanging off my kitchen counter. I was thinking I also didn't have a workbench so it'd be hard to do but maybe not

I got alot of options now though thank you guys :hug: I think I'll stick to the water tub and find 4 level 3-4 inch tall supports for the cooling rack to sit on. Those racks will be useless probably until I can use someone's saw or do it myself. Like I said now I got the options so I thank you :smile:

Just bend the legs back under the rack. Mark each leg a few inches down and bend at that point. Take them to Lowe's with you and use a 1/2" x 12" steel pipe nipple. Slide it up to your mark, bend it 90° and repeat. Problem solved for free.

You can also turn the jars they’re in upside down and just put the cake on top of the jar.

Oh damn that's a good one. Now I just have to Google what a steel pipe nipple is and I very well might do that :lol: but yeah it is just metal it can be bent. I may be able to do that with a number of different tools.

Yeah honestly this is probably the best idea yet. It'd give plenty of space for water and fruiting. I know it's the right size and i can buy more jars and reuse the 6 I'm growing with. I think this is the winner. I'll consider the options though ^^. Glad to have em

This is MEA agar I bought online, as you can see it is all messed up. Good thing I got a refund though. It probably got messed up from the heat out here and melted.
Is it possible to reheat the agar and repour it?



Gonna start making my own agar from now on
