Ok so i posted awhile back about my how shitty my wbs jars were going. Like i said before all conditions near if not completely perfect. All of a dozen, except for two have not even started after two weeks. The two that have started have done hardly anything since i first noticed growth. Could this be chalked up to bunk spores? Ive done cambodians b/f on PF cakes and they were over half done by now. Yeh yeh its easy to say "give it more time" but two weeks and this is what I get. This is bullshit. I got the spores from thelittleguy like always, any suggestions about getting them to send me some new spores. Like i said conditions were perfect go ahead and ask me if I remembered to do this or that Ill answer you right now I did everything perfect.

maybe you have too much polyfil plugging up that air hole in your WBS jars

This may not have anything to do with it but I'm trying to collect some information for some theories I'm cooking up.
What is your incubator like? Most specifically, how much light is allowed to your jars?

IM not sure how many gallons its but a decent sized tit.. i used to have a red light for when i would check but this time i have been lazy, they get checked every couple of days w lights off, just whatever light comes through the blinds. But seriously guys you think i could get another batch of spores from littleguy for this? i dont know what to say to em though.

Are you interested in fixing the problem or just obtaining more spores?
Put a second thermometer in there and make sure the temp is right (82ish), put a blanket or two over the tubs if they are clear plastic or if light can get through the plastic, borrow a digi cam if you have to and post pics of your jars. Perhaps they are too dry or too moist? Smell them, perhaps they have an invisible bacteria? Are your jars made a 'standard way'? Or are they an invention you have made?
But then again, you can just blame it on the spores and then have it happen to you over and over again.

No the tub isnt clear, it is solid green. Ok heres what i did. Soaked the wbs to remove most if not all of black sunflower seeds. Simmered till a small percentage of seeds split, 30-40mins usually. Loaded em up in jars with one hole for air exchange and a smaller one for inoc. One layer of tyvek. PC'd 1 hour at 15psi. Inoculated as usual, spray everything down w/ lysol, germ-x for the hands, dust mask, rubbing alcohol all that good stuff. I dont have a digi cam handi right now but to describe the jars they are quite moist in there, but easily shaken and no pooling of water at bottom.

So yes im interested in how to obtain more spores to answer your question.

hmm Sounds like moisture content is good. Did you rinse the seed after its simmer? I like to put mine in a grain basket and hose them down for a few minutes. I think their is WBS out there that has fungicide in it, regardless or not if it's printed on the bag, I think some is in there.

maybe you should quit blaming everything on the spores and learn how to make an LC to make your shit last before you start bitching about getting free stuff from the little guy...
