Surprising Results from a Test!

The two jars on the left were innoc'd on 3-22. The two jars on the right were innoc'd on 3-23 Today is 3-29
They are all BRF and innoc'd from the same hawaiian syringe. Anyone want to guess what I did differently? I think I'll tell you tomorrow. Unless this thread hopelessly sinks. Free Spore Ring

If it's the same substarte and same syringe........ I would guess that you kept the ones on the right @ higher temps..... Did I win...?

Sloluva, Because you love suspense. And to see if anybody cares. No polyfill, metal lids taped. (I haven't took the tape off yet) Jesse, nope, they sat side by side in the incubator. Anybody else?

Did you inject more into the ones on the right? I know when I injected more than 1cc in one and less than .5cc in the other the one with more than 1cc took off like crazy, more than double the speed.

Ground up golf discs from hobbyxpress.com? Water absorbent polymer crystals? Come on, let us know. I'm innoculating some jars tonight and I want to try this. Bob

The first thing you must learn in cultivating mushrooms is patience. Ok let me find the thread that gave me the crazy idea, and I'll bump it. It will take a few minutes, so be patient.

so let me get this straight. you add your water to your brf after you steralize? and you add this steralized water by injecting it through your 4 inoculation holes? wouldn't this cause contamination problems...i mean, it would distribut the spores much better, but it wouldn't distribut the water content evenly??? is any of this making sense? did i read that right?

Pennywise wins, I injected more solution. All of the water as a matter of fact. I mixed up my brf and verm dry. And PC'd them dry. Then I took the water that I would have mixed, and mixed it with the spores(after I boiled and cooled it of course), then injected 12 cc's into each hole. Half toward the glass and half toward the center. So If you're innoculating tonight, it may be too late for you to try this. Sorry. It has also occured to me that it may work to bake the dry jars to steralize. This could help those of you without a PC. Just an idea. I didn't expect this to work as well as it did. And I don't reccomend straying from the PF Tek, unless you're willing to accept total loss once in a while. But this time it seems to have worked. Pennywise, I owe you a prize. I have a nice hawaiian print for you if you want it. Hope that helps you guys! Never Stop Learning!

what about the water consitancy in your jars tho... you may have problems with fruiting...i hope not tho...its a great idea. I was think about somthing along the lines of this the other day. Instead of mixing spores with water, inoculate a mass amount of honey water and when you want to inoculate your jars (steralized dry, like you did) just take the lids off and pour a crap load of it in...you wouldn't need to worry about contamination because you would be putting so much mycel. into the jars there would be no compitiion for other bacteria. just a thought hey. you wanna send me a print to!

Thanks Anno, I had a feeling this would lead to baking. I guess it already has. Man, you already know all this shit don't you dude. So why isn't it mentioned much? That to me is an indicator that it might not be as failsafe as the PF Tek. I have a feeling I'm going to find out in the coming weeks. A few points I thought I should mention: 1)After you inject the water, you shake the jars. 2)The mycelia is not pulled back off the glass like it normally is when a cake is covered. 3)I only risked 4 jars to try this. 2 with metal lids, 2 with tyvex.(exact same results) I hope bringing this method up doesn't cause a bunch of confusion in the future, But it probably will. Just trying to help. Free Spore Ring
