Sorta newbie has ? that i can find answers 2
    #6812523 - 04/20/07 10:22 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Two Weeks and one day ago I and a friend inoculation 20 1/2 pint jars using PF Tek.
This is my forth time and his first. We did this together as he wanted to learn.
I had spores from Golden Teacher from a print I made on my 2nd grow.
He ordered Ecuador. We agreed that each would get five jars of each strain.
I inoculation the golden teacher first to show him the procedure then gave him a shot doing his jars.(gotta learn some how)
The jars that I did with GT have been totally covered with mycelium. Just waiting for total colonization of the cake
His jars are not doing so well. At least the five he gave me. Two of mine have been contaminated So I am down to three Ecuadorians.
Yes he had to learn and make mistakes so he could find out what worked for him.
The contamination of the jars is not the issue.
It is the fact that the jars he gave me only have mycelium in 2-3 spots and are not germinating as fast as mine.
But his jars of Ecuador are covered
Maybe 1/4 of my jars are covered.
I am thinking when he inoculated his jars he put more spores into his five jars and less into mine. (last time i do this with him)
Also the mycelium seems to be at the top of the cake. Yep this tells me he did not get the needle far enough into the cake and allow the spores to run down the jar.
I have kept the jars at 70-72 in the dark
I am unable to post pics as my digi bit it a couple of weeks ago. I guess its time to for me to go to comp USA and buy a new one huh
Is there anything i can do to speed up the germinating of them.Or will they even colonization completely?

OK I can do that. How high should i allow the temp to go?
And if the jars do not completely colonization can i still dunk and roll to get them to pin. Or would it be best to just toss em in the back yard and hope for the best

Thank you I will do just that...I have a closet in the basement that has my water heater in. I just put my thermometer into the closet and it is at 81... Waterless tank so no worries about humidity. I will put them in there on a old BBQ grill propped up by bricks so warm air can circulate.Would it help if I turned them upside down?...OK where did that bong hit sound just come from..lol.. twas not I..:P

80-81 is as high as you want to go, as the insides of the jars will be warmer

The vendor prob. stretched the spores for max. # of syringes per print.
Unlike your homemade syringe wich is overloaded.
