Advice for a new grower
    #5466348 - 04/01/06 03:13 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Hi I've just had my first attempt at growing P.Cubensis and need some advice.

I have some jars that were colonising for over two months, I know that's quite a long time, why do you think they took so long?

I've read in some grow guide that turning jars over so the lid hole drains CO2 might cause slow growth (I did this because I wanted the bigger side of the cake down when fruiting to stop it from toppling over).

Also after sterilizing my jars in a pressure cooker there was quite a lot of settling of the substrate, do you think it could've been compressed enough to slow growth considerably?

Do you think these things together would amount to slow growth?

Theye were completely white till a week ago when I noticed some yellow blotches (I have posted pics in contams forum), you can see in some pics they are pretty wet inside the jars.

Do not worry about the yellow. And they took so long most likely because you pressed the substrate into the jar with your thumb, I made the same mistake, and then I made the same mistake with Horse poo, and now I belive I made the same mistake with my caseing layer.

DO NOT PRESS

could be a number of reasons.. too wet, too compacted, too dry.. but if it's taken 2 months and they still aren't fully colonized, scrap em, read more guides and follow them to the T. read read read.. gl
