Spawn Run colonization
    #7912437 - 01/21/08 09:50 PM (16 years, 11 days ago)

About 10 days ago I spawned 2qt jars of WBS to 60/40 Coffee/Coir. The tray is a half size and the substrate is about 4 inches deep. I mixed the spawn all up with the substrate without putting a top layer of spawn. I have good growth at the top of the substrate but it hasnt completely colonized the top and formed that nice mycelium blanket. Im wondering if its necessary to be completely white on the top or if it isnt going to because i didnt make a top layer of spawn. Ill post some pics when I get a chance to give you a better idea.


--------------------
I love the feeling when it falls apart. Im slow to finish but im quick to start.

Wait for complete colonization. In other words, yes wait until the top is COMPLETELY white, not mostly white. A top layer of spawn isn't neccessary and doesn't determine whteher or not the top will colonize. The myc should grow throughout the substrate regardless if you place the spawn on the bottom, top or middle. If it has stalled, make sure you have proper gas exchange and moisture. You also don't want to incubate at too high of a temperature, as the myc growth is exothermic, meaning it will generate some heat on its own while colonizing. Too high of a temperature can stall or kill your myc altogether.
