Three days without any growth unusual?
    #5259073 - 02/03/06 12:28 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I'm working on my first grow, and I've followed the PF-Tek instructions to the letter. I had an outburst of mycelium in all but one of my jars within three days. The mycelium spread for about two to three days, then seemed to stop. For the past three days there's been no noticable growth? Is this unusual? I realize that as the mycelium spreads it will be less noticable to the naked eye (since there's now a larger area to cover) but it seems to me to have completely stopped spreading. I've been keeping the jars at a cozy 82 degrees F. I'd take a picture of each stage, but I don't have a digital camera or a scanner. So has anyone experienced this? Is this normal? Should I start over? Should I wait and see what happens? What can I do?

I should point out that there's no mold of any kind (I've studied up on all the contaminants) and everything else seems to be just fine. When innoculating the jars, I did have to use a regular pot with a cover and boiled the jars on a low boil for an hour and 15 minutes (the tek I read implied a pressure cooker is better but that a pot can suffice). This is where my second question comes in - what happened to that one jar? There's no mold evident anywhere and there's not even the tiniest bit of visible mycelium. It followed the same procedures as all the rest of the jars and was inoculated just the same. What could have gone wrong with this one?

u can shake the jar that has stalled. That might help it

Took mine 1 week just for 1 jar out of 7 to start mcy growth. now another one has started after 4 days of inoc * started another set of jars* all I can say is that its mostly just..luck of the draw with PBF with which ones will grow. I'm not saying you can't tip the scales by shaking it or other methodes, but somtimes they just won't grow. I've heaard of instances of it finnaly showing signs after a month..with PF TEK you're not growing anything soon.
