NEED SERIOUS HELP PLEASE REPLY

Ok, for the past 2-3 weeks I have been trying to get about 20 or so jars to colonize... after a week, i dumped 10 of them and tried again.. its been around 3-4 days now with the new 10 and not one shows any signs of myco NOT ONE I followed the MMGG to every single word, and inocculated with the strain golden teacher and B+ from sporeworks.. I used a pressure cooker to sterlize with 15psi this time and kept the jars in a completely dark room after injected with spores.. where they have gotten temps of around 63-75 the past few days (a bit cold, but I think this would only slow myco growth not kill it, right?) Anyways any advice is appreciated THANKS

This isnt good. In the past few weeks I have seen a lot of reports of inoculations that didnt do shit. Does anyone else get the feeling that the radiating of the mail is really starting to hit home in a major way?

Wait ten days then worry. I have seen it take two weeks to get growth. 7-10 days is normal. Don't worry! They will work. Dioze1

I'm really starting to wonder. It's not just the posts/replies on the 'shroom sites. My friends have been haveing the same problem recently with prints/sringies not amounting to anything. Totaly sterile "nuttin happening" jars. I hope that I'm wrong about the raidating mail being the cause. But if it is, we know that saveing lives is a damm good reason for our inconvience.

Spores are not the only thing being sent through the post offices. Seeds will not germinate when radiated,film will turn black, electronic equipment will be damaged. CD's and memory sticks are being sent through the mail all the time. The post office will notify you if your sent/recieved mail will be radiated. Millions of dollars are at stake here. They will notify you.

Don't worry, I'm a newbie and had the same problem,(impatience). My jars are just showing their first signs of growth and they are six days old. Givem time. And yes the cold should not kill them, Just slow growth.

3-4 days is nothing with your temps as low as they are, when temps get below 70 sometimes they won't even germinate. try and keep your temps up a little higher and just give them time, anything below 70 is to damn low though.

don't worry my friends jars r usually at about 71-72 but venture to 68-75. It took about a week for them to show signs of colonization. The cold really does slow them down. Its been about a month and they jars are almost done colonizing. just a few little spots on the bottoms. I think 6 of them r fully colonized. I heard its good to wait a week after they are fully colonized. is this really necissary? After waiting a month my friend really wants to get them in his tank and harvest as soon as possible.

I'd agree that the cooler temps are probably slowing them down...I try to colonise as close to 85-86*F as possible & last time saw growth beginning within 4-5 days or so with sp0res, but with agar it was 1-2......at this temp...

it's not written in stone Tera, but it does help, and yes it helps the yields as well. if you're that impaitent just birth them, but waiting the extra week or two has seemed to help me.

sorry...i don't mean to spread panic or false info...i am not saying that mail irraidiation is what happened to my syringe, just a theory. i can only speak of my personal experiences. i don't want to get flamed for saying that and it is not true.

I would think that mail not labeled as containing materials sensitive to radiation and being mailed "to" or "from" areas that are deemed "high risk" are definitely going to get radiated. The question is "who labels their packages?" or takes precautions to prevent this?

Once again folks I'll say it...I live in the north east...I got my spore syringes from Lil Shop o' Spores...They arrived within days of my order (thanks gus!!!0 and they are growing very well in their little honey water hotel...If you check my posts, you'll see that just a few days ago I was wondering when I'd see signs of life...Now it's like my spores have exploded onto the scene...I can see the spores germinating ang growing every day...PATIENCE is the key...as for "Radiated Mail"...doesn't anybody read...There aren't more than 1 or 2 post offices nationwide that are currently using radiation...It's simply too expensive and the equipment is too scarce...Relax and try not to worry...It's like any other disaster...when it hits...YOU'LL KNOW IT!!! ...and you'll adjust...
