simple - it takes longer if you dont shake.

a specific way to shake? i wait for a full moon, strip naked, stand on my left foot and shake over my head while singing billy joel songs. (in other words, nope... just shake!) people do like to shake at specific times, like at 30% and 70% or what have you... different teks suggest all sorts of things so i dont think there is a magical time thats right, use some intuition when it slows down a little and could benefit from being spread around, do it. don't do it too many times over the course of colonizing though.

i also shake naked. but its just an excuse to get naked.
anyhoo someone did a little test and turn out hte best time to skake is when you inoculated that way you get the most posible areas starting off from the start. i find shaking later on about after 50% to be faily useless because the grains has turned into a bit of a mass nad doesn't shake well.
shake first then let sit!

Alway shake your jars north-south first, then east-west, then finally up-down.

I tried growing Mexicana truffles on rye grass seed. I had real problems with the mixture being too sticky. It clumped together and was pretty much impossible to evenly break up even if I hit the jar hard enough to hurt my hand. The RGS was damp and did morph into different shapes as I shook the jar, it even broke up a bit, but it never spread out anywhere near evenly.

Next time I use RGS (I have about 3/4 of the bag left), I'm 100% going to rinse the mix a few times to stop it being so sticky. I'd wanted to avoid doing that at first thinking that it might detract too much from the nutrient value of the seed to be worth it.

Since I usually check my jars and plants just before bed or first thing in the morning, I'm usually naked. :thumbup:

If you don't shake, as said, it will take longer to colonize. It's also possible that the jars will stall, and you'll be left with a large part of the jar uncolonized. At this point it will be alomst impossible to shake as the colonized portion will have knitted itself into a thick mat. I recommend shaking at about 20%.

I don't shake mexicana jars, simply because they rarely stall in my experience... and that rye grass is a bitch to shake up anyway :tongue2:

Guess if you're going to wait months anyway for stones what's a few more days?  :smirk:
