Long time until full colonization
    #5254555 - 02/02/06 10:07 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Thanks for all the help with getting up and running, but I have a little concern. I've already placed 7 out of 21 cakes in the terrarium, and more of the 21 are on there way. I just was curious why a few jars aren't even 20% colonized. Is it due to the lack of oxygen, or because I packed the substrate in the jars too hard. When I placed the mix in the jars I hit it 2-3 times against my palm to pack it down tighter. Is this what is causing the slow reproduction? Will these cakes ever fully colonize, or should I only wait a few more days and turn them into casing? I could cut the cakes in half and cover the uncolonized portion with verm... I really don't know what to do. Some of my cakes are already pinning, while some are hardly colonized. Any recommendations?

IM just a newbie but, from what I know is best not to pack. Leave it airy and 'clumpy' since those are the spots where the myc will grow more easy...

That could be one thing. Also how did you inoculate? Spore syringe? How many syringes? If you use one syringe on that many jars the spores will take longer to germinate and get established.

What are you doing for gas exchange? Do you have holes in the lids? If the other 7 jars were packed in the same fashion, then that's not your problem.

Wait! after sterilizing substrate jars:

1) Inoculate with spores.
2) Incubate in darkness at around 82-86 degrees Fahrenheit.
3) When 100% colonized birth your BRF cakes.
4) Dunk and Roll
5) Case or fruit as cakes.

Number 4 is the only step that can be skipped.

You cannot case until your substrate is 100% Colonized or your uncolonized sub will be a buffet for bacteria.
