This jar seems to have the most growth of the bunch

And here they are staying warm in the incubator...I keep the thermometer sensor on top of the very middle jar, then cover it with a blanket and the lid. The temp is steady between 82.9 and 84.2(depending on outdoor temp)that leaves a few degrees for the heat in the jars themselves. I also think the black interior helps a lot to conserve the heat.

They are really truckin' right along now!! The 3 jars that settled and are packed a little more tightly are just barely showing any growth up near the verm layer, i imagine those will take FOREVER, i may not wait on them.
The rest are all doing very well, i'm pleased so far.



As a first timer, i must say it's been a LOT easier then i ever imagined. I would have never thought it would be this simple to grow them. Had i known, i would have started years ago!! lol

Hey, been following along, your grow looks great... good equipment, out of the 4 spore syringes you got, which strain did you end up going with? And out of the 4 syringes you got and trying to inoculate 12 jars, how much of the syringes were used (how much do you have left)?
Signed.. Noobie

Thanks!! I'm just posting mainly because it helps me keep track of the dates and time it takes for each step, but you're more then welcome to to follow along with my noobie grow, lol.
I used the puerto rican strain first. 1 syringe did all 12 jars, sporeworks syringes come with 12cc's, so i used 1 cc per jar.(1/4 per hole) which is one line on the syringe.

Ok, it's been 10 days so far and i've got 4 or 5 jars that are VERY close to being fully covered. the 3 jars that were packed down still only show a few white blobs, the remaining jars have considerable growth, but have not yet covered the bottom of the jar.
quick question...do you wait for pins to start appearing before you birth the cake?
(almost ready jars look like this all the way around)

(Partial jars are this far along, the 4 inoc. points have not yet connected)

let the jar colonize 100%
next wait 3-4 more days for the inside to colonize 100%
then birth the cake and either crumble and spawn or dunk and roll

I got my first cake dunking now. I had a little bit if mycelium that had colonized the verm layer on top....is that pretty normal? I just put the chunks on the lid and stuck them in my FC, ya never know, a mushie might just pop out! lol

well today while i was at work, my upstairs got HOT, like 85+ up there in the fruiting chamber. I forgot to turn on my upstairs AC i guess.
Anyway, a little trick i used to drop the temp down in the FC was to put ice cubes in it! I put two trays, just scattered about and the temp dropped from 86 to 78 in about 5-10 minutes. plus when they melt it tops off the water level, lol.
I'll have a few more pictures to post here shortly

Here are some pictures of the dunking process....
The pitcher I am using is of your normal kool-aid type

I fashioned a little foil thing to hold the cake under the water since they float.

here is the cake after it's been dunked.(12-24hrs)

And then rolling it in some dry verm before placing into the chamber

Since I've only got 3-4 cakes ready for birthing, i'm just doing one at a time dunking them for about 14hrs each.

looks great man i hope mine looks as good when i start it. Maybe try making a LC before your next grow it will colonise faster.

Liquid Culture You can convert a single syringe into 1000 ml of living mycelium with this. It can also "save you the trouble" of multiple printing and speed up colonization time (no germination needed). Here the basic : http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/8005

Here is a pic of my cakes in the FC.

I can't seem to get the humidity up very high though. My walls and lid are bone dry still. It gets warmer during the day then at night, around 80 degrees in the day and 70 or so at night, is that the cause of the humidity not wanting to get very high?
