Too much spores?
    #5289892 - 02/11/06 08:04 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I recently inoculated my jars, and accidentally (yes, i'm a first timer) gave some of the inoculation sites much more than their alotted 1/4 cc.

will this pose a problem in any way?

common sense says i just wasted some of those precious spores, and that the shrooms will still grow (maybe more?)....but i don't really know, and i'll ask those more experienced.

thanks.

It's not a problem - The mycelium will most likely grow faster over your substrate since there are more spores, but that's the only different I can think of.

The jars will grow faster. No problem.

Yea, a month isn't a bad guess...
I would say at 78-82 degrees, your jars will be 100% colonized in ten days (most likely a little less, but as long as you don't bother them and the temp remains constant, tens days will be more than long enough).
Once they're colonized, I would recommend casing them, in which case I'd add another three days to allow the mycelium to recover and time to patch and all that good stuff.
After that, it depends mainly on how many flushes you go through with your casing, but you should probably get a first flush that is ready to harvest after about eight days.
Ten plus three plus eight...little less than a month I guess, but that's assuming everything goes according to plan :wink:

the subtrate might be a little over saturated with h2o but it wont be much of a problem
