Pictures of a noobs PF Tek | | | small update
    #29655613 -

Two week update and overview after inoculating and leaving them the F alone.
6 jars with one variety being albino Jack Frost.

1 - is showing no visible growth.
2 - are showing slow growth
2 - are showing pretty good/clean growth I think
1 - is showing growth with a weird brown area inside and may be questionable.

Lets start with the ugly duckling:





These photos are of one of the good growths. Had notice some small amounts of metabolites, but overall to my knowledge looks good:




This photo is the other good growth jar (the jar in the middle), didn't notice any metabolites in this:


These photos are of a the jar (one on the left) that has slow growth:



Being new I am not to worried about failing. I just want to learn and improve. Now don't get me wrong if one of these cakes makes it to dunking, rolling and the water tub with success. Mannnn will I be a happy galactic adventurer!:mushroom2: These poor mycelium guys have sure been through some hot temperature where I live, but I think they are powering through!

I have another 6 jars with Albino PE that not a single sign of visible growth yet. Granted all jars were inocculated into the middle. Jars look just like when they were inoculated. If I recall correctly, PE can be one of the slower growing varieties. I'm just letting everything be and see what happens in another week or two or three.

Love and Peace

Those jars look sus. Just wait another week or two, but temper your expectations.

Thanks for the response!

Hopefully at least one cake makes it out alive to be fruited. But if not then back to the drawing board for round two!

That's the way :murray: A couple of suggestions: next time keep the substrate a little bit more on the dry side (maybe it's just the pictures but those look a tad wet to me). Also, try not to pack the substrate too tightly. Hope you can fruit at least some of those. GL

I read in the PF updated tek not to pack the mixture, so tried to keep it a bit light. Although I could have done it I think a bit lighter than I did. Just need more experience :takingnotes:. Can't wait to find out the outcome regardless, it's very fascinating.

Third week update: I definitely think that the BRF cakes are maybe too tightly packed. I did try to keep it light and fluffy, but need to do a better job next time.

The cake that I mentioned has weird brown in it (idk if lighting, or inside of cake is more moist, etc.) has noticeable small pinning inside. Still doesn't seem to be growing well because of the varied looking mycelium that's white and the areas that don't seem to be?  weird/funky. Should this go another week and then try to birth or just toss? Kind of  leaning to toss since it looks all kinds of F'd up. Like top left corner seems to have a more whispy growth (which I think is mold according to looking around the forums).



This cake seems to be almost done maybe 90% coverage. Can't tell if anything serious going on with it. Plan to birth, dunk, roll, unless I find out otherwise.



These cakes look about the same as the more colonized ones, just a bit farther behind on speed.




A couple of the APE BRF jars are showing growth now, some showing none. I think those are a slow growing variety? If no progress in X weeks, should they just be tossed?
