Update on my 1st grow/questions on my 3rd (pics)
    #5936574 - 08/06/06 10:21 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Here's a pic update of my first grow so far, inoculated 21 days ago with no incubation other than sitting in the cabinet above my fridge;





The only thing from these 5 jars that worries me is how much condensation there is. I've posted a couple times about it, there's no standing water but there are huge droplets of water all over every jar. I ran my substrate through a strainer before sterilizing/inoculating, so I dunno how there's so much extra moisture in there.


This one's the only one out of the 6 that worries me, slow growth and there are some grayish/off white patches so I've isolated it in another cabinet;



Possible contams or am I just worrying? It almost looks like in those off white patches that it's just the mycelium soaking up all the moisture, it looks really damp.

Anyway, here's a couple pictures of my substrate jars for my 3rd grow. I'm worried because for some reason the substrate doesn't seem as airy as the other 2 jars, it looks quite compact for some reason. I did make some changes before I mixed this substrate. I used a 25/75% coffee/water ratio this time, and cooked the ingredients in the oven for 25 minutes before mixing. Do they look too packed to you all? I studided it for a minute and it almost looks like it's just more substrate sticking to the sides of the jar, and that beyond that it's airy throughout the inside. Sorry about the crappy pictures, couldn't find the right angle;





And here's a couple pics of the incubator I made a few days ago, temp has hung steady at 84-85 and it has my 2nd batch in it right now. Resisting the urge to check on them until tomorrow, the 5th day since inoculation;







Going to inoculate the 3rd jars today, and work on my first LC's tonight. Gonna make 4 LC's, 2 honey, 2 karo, to see which one I like better. I have 7 syringes left to play with, so it should keep me busy long enough to get my LC down and not need syringes anymore :smile:.

Pics of the fruiting chamber will be up within a week, as I'm pretty sure I'll be moving some of the 1st batch there soon. Anyway, any comments/advice is welcome, I couldn't have made it this far without this place.  :mushroom2:

Hmmm, odd. I just took those pictures about 30 minutes ago, and I just checked my incubator again and the temp was at 92.4. I pulled the top tub out and lowered the temp on the heater a click or 2. Any ideas as to what coulda made that happen? Yesterday I noticed that the temp had risen 2 or so degrees but I attributed that to us leaving the door to our deck open, thus the temp in the apartment was like 9 degrees higher than usual.

I lowered the temp to where it should hover around 82, I did a little research and learned the jars are a few degrees higher than their surroundings so having it at 86 might not have been a good idea. :wink:

Anyone else think those jars look too packed?
