think that maby the stalled growth in that one jar is due to CO2 concentrations being too high... well, either way, heat, or CO2 being that factor, there is a quick and easy fix for it, flip that jar, if the top is going quicker than the bottom, and the top is already colonized, put the sucker on its head and let is ass have a go at those optimium conditions.

Nice. Are you going to wait till all the jars are colonized till you case?

I'm gunna have a look right now to see if enough are colonized to case now, if not then I'll flip and wait until tomorrow.

Two of the Transkis were flipped, the other 6 were fine. The Zs will be behind the Transkis. I'm getting my coir/castings ready right now for sterilization so I can spawn later on tonight. I still need to exchange the two smaller tubs for the right size to use as the top tubs, which I can do while sterilizing before I mix later. The coir is cooling down a bit right now as it's still too hot to the touch to drain the excess moisture. I'll be adding castings to make a 60/40 of coir/castings.
I'd post pictures so far but I'm over my limit right now.

I put tick marks a little less than 1/2 inch below all the polyfill holes where the casing will come up to, and then 3/4 inch below that where the substrate will come up to. I used 1.5 bricks of Bed-A-Beast Coco Coir bars to get 60% of the volume to the first tick mark. After I evened it out, I laid Worm Castings over the Coir to the tick mark. When spreading out the Castings and crumbling all the clumps, I found 2 worms, sorry fellas, in the trash you go (and to any still in there, sorry, but the microwave is no spa). I mixed everything up to an even consistency. I started putting the substrate into all the tubberware I had to get it ready for the nuking. I eventually needed to use the extra quart jars I had (from the EQs that didn't make it earlier, RIP). I filled 8 of them up to about the level that the WBS is filled to and then set that amount aside for my next casing (The volume of the WBS will now replace that substrate I took out). I'm nuking every container for 2.5 mins 2 times with a mixing in between each nuke. I'm goign to let all the containers sit overnight until tomorrow when I spawn.
Sorry for the lack of pictures, I have them on my computer but I'm over my upload limit, so I'll have to come back and add pictures when I'm allowed to.

True, I could use one of those sites, or even my University page (haha, right). The reason why I wouldn't tho is because if the image gets too much traffic, they replace the image with theirs, and I have all my pictures on the forums organized in folders in my Pics section. I have an OCD about things like that (once I organize things a certain way, I like to keep it consistant). Sorry to keep you waiting, but I should be able to up pictures within a few hours.

Here's the coco coir being brewed. That's some fuckin' hot water.

Here's the coco coir already mixed with the worm castings filled to the first tick mark.

Here's all the jars and containers ready for nuking.

These rubbermaid lids became flimsy as hell afterwards and most are now caved in like this permanently (although most are just caved in on top, not disturbing the seal like this one). They caved in because vacuums were formed shortly after removing them from the microwave.

They're just cooling in the FC tonight until I spawn tomorrow. We'll see how the two flipped Transkis are doing by the time I spawn them.

The whole bundle was $10, the bowls themselves are all good anyways, no big loss.

This all happened at about 1pm today, I was late to post pics and an update because some people came by, but here it is.
Here's the 8 jars of Transki WBS about to be spawned.

You gotta be sure to be sterile. I couldn't take down any of the posters in the bathroom cuz I don't want to mess with my roommates shit, but I sprayed a bleach solution and lysol on all surfaces and in teh air. I cleaned my gloved hands with 70% alcohol before I did anything different like opening the jars to tilling the WBS in with the substrate.

Here's the spawned substrate up to the first tick mark (the WBS made up for the substrae I took out perfectly).

Then I taped the outside up to the level the casing will go. I taped down about an inch under the bottom of the tub, but I don;t figure I need to tape the underside.

I've got a fleece blanket that I'm using to block out light, I have it drooping over the Polyfill holes by the duct tape.

Now it's just a matter of days, 5 I guess, probably more. in the mean time I'm working on a project that I'll post about soon and I just got some pint jars that I'm gunna prepare agars two tube way. This EQ syringe is gunna get some use!

So I got all the stuff together that I needed to start some LCs. Here's everything I used.

And here's how much Polyfill I rull up to plug each tube. you kinda twist it in as you push, that gets all the frays in.

Heres the end of the drill bit I have pushed int the tube. When just end to end, the tub is slightly larger than the bit. After drilling, it still helped to take my pliars and rotate and press it into the hole to widen it just a bit more.

I applied the silicone to the top and bottom and then used my finger to smoothen the seal.

Sorry for the bad focusing, I don't know what was up with the camera, and I was taking pictures of small things, I guess that contributed to it focusing on the wrong things.
I made 4 pint LC jars like this. They'll be done setting tomorrow and I'll OC some honey and then inoculate the next day when they're cooled. The other 8 jars I'll make some cakes with in a perlite tub, might as well have some fun with cakes, couldn't hurt.

I'm going to check on the substrate tomorrow, but I'm guaranteeing you it will take atleast 3 more days than that, the ratio of WBS to substrate was fairly low. We'll see tomorrow!
