Thank you for your reply.

In regards to my question about getting it up towards the middle. I have a small, flat rack, but is there a certain one you recommend? Like one that sits up maybe 7-8 inches or more? Or maybe I could use my flat rack, but put something underneath it? It's a stupid question, but the way I have it, the plates sit only about an inch higher than the bottom of the flow hood.

First timer: I've noticed that within the last 5 days my grain spawn jars seem to have stalled out, there hasn't been any noticeable growth. They're only about 15% colonized, so I think it may be too early to shake.

I'm wondering if it's a gas exchange issue? I don't remember reading anywhere that grain spawn jars need air exchange but perhaps they do?

Otherwise they look very healthy. Just nice white patches of mycelium, no signs of contam.

I'm using whole oats (horse feed) that I boiled then sterilized in the pressure cooker. Inoculated them with agar wedges in a SAB.

I have 6 jars that were all growing at the same rate and then stalled at the same time. Temps have been kept around 70F.






If you don’t have filters and holes, you are likely right about gas exchange. Lid tek  here

I started cultivation on Producers Pride oats. I don't love oats now, but I grew pounds of cubes on them. When I started doing tamps I swear that oats were better at growing stones in the jars than wheat or millet. For me anyway.
:2cents:


You think its the surface area? Only time i ever grew stones was on oats and it was a major pita to clean em

Do they have filtered holes? If no then you should make lids that do, sterilize them and swap them out in your SAB

Where to start?

Are your plates clean?

This is my first grow! It's a small grow in a ziploc bag.

Is it looking ok? Should I open the bag for more fae now that it is fruiting?

Thanks :grin:

They looked perfect after they came out the fridge. Did all the proper tempering. I wonder if maybe I took it out of the fridge and wrapped them in foil immediately that did this. The other time I made chocolates from an actual chocolate bar that I melted down it was fine but I also let it sit out for a while after the fridge.

Thank you! When you say "yet" - is there a stage when I will need to open the bag? I found conflicting info using the search

Depends. If it looks like it's struggling to get enough hair you can open it. It doesn't look like it's struggling at all right now so I wouldn't do anything.

You just need to pay attention to the surface conditions.

I disagree. Back the threads off a little bit. Dont open it, but let it breathe

If they came out of the fridge cold into a warm humid air they may have sweat a little and caused it.

Ooh. What is this Jedi mind trick? Clearly you are advocating for a bit of air. But are you saying there’s no need for filtered holes at all in spawn jars? Inquiring minds want to know!

No need, but it certainly helps. My concern is swapping lids is a contam vector. Plenty of people have used unmodded lids over the years. When i run out of modded lids i slap a full sfd under a lid and its perfect

Totally see the contam vector. Cool! So I presume the thickness of the sfd between the lid and the top of the glass jar is enough air to keep things happy? I mean, that’s the only place the air is able to travel right?
