I've got a jar of brf/verm. that is almost fully colonized but there is one small patch about 1/4 inch wide by 3/4 long that won't colonize. I've been waiting for a while and today I noticed invitro primordia growing...should I birth the cake and cut out the uncolonized section?

I'd be interested in knowing about this type of situation as well. All but one of my jars incubating right now are already at 100% but my last jar has a very small "vein" of substrate not covered by the mycellium. I've already flipped the jars a few days ago...which did help this particular jar a little...but it appears that the last little bit to go is just not growing. The cake itself is 98% colonized. Today is day 18 of the grow.
Advice from the pro's?
Love & Light,
Boppity

could be a drier spot in your substrate. i have never had this problem but i have heard of people either just birthing them and cauterizing that part or you can inject the jar, at that spot) with a tiny bit of water, everything sterile of course. good luck.

Just grow that jar out invitro...let the mushrooms grow until they look like they need to be picked.....hopefully by the time they grow out invitro that spot will be colonized. If its not colonized then cut the part that isnt out and cauterize it...keep a close eye on the spot for contamination

Give that jar a little extra time.....loosen the lid when you flip it to let some co2 out...I get this happening to me all the time...I just dont end up birthing all the cakes at once..no big deal...
