That is the only one that is that good really. I have another couple of quite good ones, a couple of ok ones, one with hardly any growth at all and 2 wet ones (which I'm gonna fruit today).

Those wet jars will just be inviting contamination into your grow chamber. If I were you,I'ld toss them.Looking at the picture,it looks like they don't have any growth... is this correct? I'm sure they have a funky smell by now too. The others look great! Good Luck!

i'm with pinhead. they will not bring any goodness, and can only endanger the survivors. next time, mix the jars by adding water slowly to verm and stirring until capacity reached, then add flour. this is best explained in this tek:

Well today was a really eventful day. I basically finnished off my pod. First I went down the petshop and bought another air curtain and some connectors for the tubing. When I got home I boiled up my 'hydroleca' in a big pan with a little tiny bit of bleach for good measure.
While the hydroleca was boiling I finnished off the tubes and air curtains. I fixed them to the bottom of the tank with tape, to hold it in place while I pour in the hydroleca.
Next, I had the annoying job of cooling ans training the hydroleca. I put the pan in the sink and filled it up the rest of the way with cold tap water. When it got to the top of the pan, I cleaned my washing up bowl and scooped some of the hydroleca out of the pan with a strainer. I put it in the washing up bowl and filled the bowl with cold water. By this time the hydroleca was pretty cool. I strained it again and put it in the terrarium. I then repeated with the remaining hydroleca in the pan.
I then sealled up the hinge on the lid with tape and added some finnishing touches.
Also, I decided to fruit the wet cakes today too.
They are in the fridge now cooling down to shock them into pinning.
How long do they need to stay in the fridge for?

Uhm, I really think you should reconsider fruiting those wet cakes.. They have contam written all over them. The only thing you can expect to see growing from them is a shitload of mold!

Ok. I'm thinking maybe I should just get rid of them. I've already put them in though. Is it too late to take them out and avoid contamination? Would it be ok to leave the one in the jar there because most of the visible surface is colonized?

Well I took them out and just left the jar in. I'm probably gonna bury them in my garden, just beneath the surface.

Well, re-sterilize the whole damned geo-lite like crap, hydrocela or whatever they called it... and lysol out your PMP, then boil a rag in water , let it cool so you can pick it up and wipe out your PMP.

ok I took out the last jar. Hopefully it isn't too late. There were no signs of contaminations yet so hopefully the whole thing is still pretty sterile.

Is it worth risking losing the whole shabang for 10 minutes worth of work you can do, just to make sure?

What you mean I should resterilize it? It took me a lot more than 10 mins to do that. It took ages boiling and straining my geolite.

is it ok to bake the geolite rather than boil it? Or shall I just wipe the inside of the tank?

Today I decided to label the lids of all my jars, so I can track the progress of each jar. So far I have lost 2 jars. They had too much water in them and weren't working so I burried them.

Here is jar A
  One of the injections of spores haven't produced mycelium, but the other 3 sites have worked ok.
Here is jar B
  This is probably the least colonized jar. Out of the 4 innoculation sites, only one of them germinated.
Here is jar C
  This one's doing quite well.
Here is jar D
  Half of this jar is doing ok, the other half has been really slow.
Here is Jar E
  This jar is about 90% colonized. It seems to have stalled recently though. This is it from the bottom:

Here is Jar F
  This one is also doing well, with a very tiny amount of growth on the bottom of the jar.

I wouldn't bake geolite... You really need to do what I said to take the time and strain it and lysol-bleach out your PMP then wipe down w/ a boiled rag...
What's going to happen here is your going to get a good grow going, then everything will be contam'd from those stupid cakes you put in there, which will make me sad b/c I like to see first-timers do well

A through F is looking good. Those wet ones though were fucked, oh well though, it's how you learn. You probably didn't have the foil on tight enough while you PC'ed them. That'll happen. Anyways good luck it's looking good so far.
