I am doing the same thing. but also a couple more strains. My B+ just showed myc last night and I will inoculate my next wbs jars with myc taken from a texas strain colonized BRF cake. I am expecting Golden teacher, Z strain, Lipa yai, pf classic and a freebie either tommoro or tuesday, I also have tasmanian colonizing right now. I Am getting my wbs ready now. Are all of your texas jars slower to colonize? On my brf cakes the B+ went really fast and the texas is colonizing really slow. Is that normal for texas to colonize so slow? You jars are looking awesome, good luck.

No i will not be adding any nutes or adds.. just because of me being a new-b and all to straw and such...
but for the "Are all of your Texas jars slower to colonize?"... i would say yes... but im not sure that the TX are slower per say... may be just the B+ is a bit faster because IME (1 1/2 years growing) B+ has always seemed to colonize faster given the same substrate.....
Thank you all.. Hope to have more pics soon...

ALRIGHT... HERE WE GO.....
I have one jar of each strain ready to transfer... I will be doing the B+ first..
Here is me preparing my rye... First, I rinse the rye out multiple times in a pot to get all of the starch out (bad starch..bad) Then, i rinse again in a strainer just to make sure there is NO STARCH!!!! Finally i pour all my rye (15 lbs worth here) into a trashcan that i have.. and fill with water...
Now, i just wait until tonight (about 12 hrs) and ill be PCing 3 bags of the rye for about 60 min... ( after a good draining of course)...

Alright after a good 10 hr soaking, I have let the rye rinse and am packing it into autoclave bags at about 10 cups per bag. Also, i have decided to actually use some additives, according to the Psilocybin Mushroom Handbook i have added 1 tsp of both Gypsum and Calcium Carbonate in order to balance the pH level and to keep the individual kernels from sticking together. Then i lined my pressure cooker with a thin towel, and loaded it with a few bags at a time. (the towel is so that the bags don't hit the side walls and don't melt) and PC'd at 15 PSI for 90 min. After they are done i will let them cool over night and do a grain to grain transfer. Heres some random pics....
 
Ill have some more for you guys tomorrow.....

Okie Dokie, here is some more... today, when i got home from work the bags were throughly cooled and i could begin my grain-to-grain transfers. Well today I had two B+ jars ready to transfer, but my I want to wait another day on my TX jars before i do the transfer. ( I had shaken the jars for the last time and the B+ was completely recovered with no signs of contams, the TX however was only 75% recovered and i want to wait till 100% so I can be sure of NO CONTAMS!)
First, I sprayed my glove box out with Lysol and covered it while i was gathering my jars and such. Next I loaded everything into the glove box, and proceeded to do a g2g transfer.
Here are some shots...
   
Heres a Question... when i was finished with the transfer into the bag i again wrapped it over to keep contams out. But when i used the sealer to close the bag there was a little bit of hissing from the humidity in the upper part of the bag.. IS THIS NORMAL? SHOULD I HAVE DONE SOMETHING ELSE?? Thanks again...

Are you saying that when you sealed it, there was some moister there and it sizzled from the heat of the sealer.
If so no big deal at all, but as always look along the seal to see if it's all good.

Hey MushroomJoe, can you post or PM some good shots of the glovebox? Specifically, the point where the gloves meet the box itself.
Thanks!
