colonization speed
    #358513 - 07/21/01 08:40 PM (22 years, 8 months ago)

I've got 2 batches in jars, each started 2 1/2 weeks ago.
5 1 pint jars of rye+verm+water
5 1 pint jars of rice+verm+water
All show some white goodies crawling, but some not much!
I used the shroom wizard's recipe to get started.
The best looks like 15%, the worst 5%.
Is this too slow? I have let them be at room temp (72-79) but now have an aquarium heater and am thinking up of upping the temp. I wonder if that will make a big difference.
I look at them all the time. This is fascinating. Does the movement slow things?
My clock is looking at me funny. I have to go now to clean my rifles. Please consult with me

Yes, I agree . . .slow!
Here's the shroom wizard tek-

He has been extremely helpful with advice via email, whatever the effectiveness of his technique is.
Has anyone else tried this? Results?

Hey
I started my 1 pint jars 30 days ago and using the same mixture as you. My jars were roughly 10% complete. My temp would also fluctuate a lot so on friday i got myself a aquarium heater and put my jars the heater in a container with water. I checked them this morning and i could not believe that they are all roughly 25-35% complete. So i would say thet you should use the heater.

Sometimes the mycelium just grows slow. You should use the fish tank heater to up the temp to 80-85F. That should help the speed.

Yes definitely raise the temp. I did pint jars with rice/verm and it did better when room temps where in high 80's early 90's. It'll still take at least a month before full colonization. When the jars are 50% full turn them upside down this helps with the other 50%. Good Luck..


Tell me something good then I might agree with you..
