It won't spawn!
    #4331335 - 06/24/05 03:32 AM (18 years, 9 months ago)

I've inoculated 4 jars on 18-06-05.
Now it's 24-06 and NOTHING has happened.

I used BRF and vermiculite. Pressure Cooked the jars. Inoculated the jars on 4 different points, sterilizing the needle between each inoculation.
The jars are stored in a terrarium at 27 degrees Celsius, out of direct sunlight.
The strain used is Psilocybe cubensis "Matias Romero".

Is it possible that there is to little humidity INSIDE the jars?

Did you wait for the jars to cool COMPLETELY before you innocd? this can take a long time (like 5-8 hours)

I don't see anything that 100% shows signs of colonization, but you have to wait @ least a few more weeks..

People talk about getting "the fear." There is simply a lack of inner confidence and comfort. Those people haven't studied any type of mind training. I suggest they seriously consider Qigong.

its some kind of plastic wrap or something under that. why is that there? maybe foil but looks like plastic to me.
6 days is not a long time to have waited, give it a little more time before you worry.
peace

My first jars took 4 weeks to colonize.

When we say "patience is a virtue" we aren't kidding. Sometimes it takes only a few days, sometimes it takes several weeks on end. The jars will be done when they're done, and not a second sooner. Have faith my brother...

I guess I'm the only one who caught on....

wrap your terrarium with a black trash bag immediately. they are not supposed to be exposed to light @ all

where did you get your spores from?

you prolly should have stuck to the pf formula. sounds like you put way too much water in there. if you notice in the formula the water content is the same as the rice leaving very little room for ANY water to be sqeezed out of it. pf formula is
1/4 cup brown rice
1/2 cup vermiculite
1/4 cup water

Actually, Mr. Swift, the only reason no one else mentioned it is because its not a big deal :rolleyes:

I still think it looks like mycelium to me :shrug: I do see how it looks like tape that was peeled off or something now though...thats probably what Anno saw too though.

Not a big deal to keep your jars completly dark? lol. I can personally tell you thatit took me the first time 6 weeks for my jars to colonize because i would look at them every 3 hours or so. My second batch and all new batches take 2 weeks max to 100 colonize, because i leave them alone in complete darkeness, and only look at them once a week. I am 100 percent sure this is why they are colonizing faster. But hey you seem to know it all. Lmao




I dont know it all, but man you want to tell me about colonizing jars?



I mean how are you gonna explain dozens of other people, including myself, who ca get jars to colonize from spores in a week with the light on...or using a light as a source of heat. I'm not gonna argue this with ya buddy, if you want to think thats what it was and not the water content, spores, temperature, air exchange, or any number of the other variables that DO play a role in speed of colonization, then you can keep thinking that. Those who know, know.

By the way, you know the original PF Tek, by Fanaticus, specifically said in the directions to incubate in the light? How do you think all the people who did and do that get along with jars under 2 weeks all the time?
