I find a dryer sub will colinize faster. I mix the water with the verm then squeeze it with two hands till nothing drips out. It still has alot of water in it if you pinch it between your fingers tho.

yeah when i made the second batch i used alot less water then the guides say, mycelium is progressing. there's a little condensation inside the jars but the mycelium is growing right past it. everything looks healthy, I'll post pics as soon as i can get some good shots.

finally, some pictures for anyone interested to see how its coming along.
before you look at them, its all healthy when i look at it by eye all growth is brilliant white. so remember, I'm using a shitty camera phone in tweaky lighting.

i had some errors on the times so ill fix it, i inoculated on 26th of January, 9 days ago.
these are the most colonized so far. i think its doing o.k. , what do you think? also there's more water condensation building up then i thought there would be, could it create a problem? how much longer do you think until 100%? also no one has answered my question about to hot or too cool? i inoculated 5 more jars last night, I'm gonna leave in room temperature (65 Fahrenheit) and see for myself. i could still use and answer though :P

I'm going to try grain next time, probably popcorn, there's not many guides on that, does anyone know of one I'm missing? I'd like to buy RRs dvd but I'm really low on funds right now.
growth slowd down a bit, could the water condensation cause that?

i have brown spots on the mycelium, i dont know what it is, it wasnt there before, i used the search funtion a thousand times to search fro brown contams or brown spot on mycelium ect ect but found no results that had anything to do with it.. there really tiny and it doesnt really look like a new mold, after about 12 days after inoculation i dont think they would be getting contaminated now??? could it be pinning, they havnt been in light long enough, could it be too hot? could the water condensation cause it? could rapid temprature drop cause it? there hasnt been reall just when i take them off the xbox to look for contams and check progress same when light comes.. anyone know anything about brown spots?? i noticed thi about 20 hours ago so i think if its pin it would be getting noticeable by now? please help any info helps.
also could the sub be too dry from heat or something? can that cause it to brown?? can it be dieing?

They are fine,looks good. Don't sweat the brown or the moisture. They do generate heat and moisture in the jar. Very normal, exciting huh?

kiss it and make it better

i did k, i was just worrying thinkin maybe it was bad for it to bruise in the jar, iv;e never heard of that before.
anyway, should i turn them upside down, iv'e read that it will make the bottomes grow faster but i also read not to do it because moisture will get on the dry verm layer and let contams grow?
leave as is or flip them upside down?

3 pins on one cake (about 2 days ago) they dont seem to be growing at all and other then that nothing else, i mist 3-4 times a day theres over a hundred holes in the fc for fae temp is around 65-70, i didnt have much light on them maybe 4 hours a day, i have one of those eco friendly lights hanging about the fc now im gonna try for 12/12 on/off. maybe light is my issue? im 90% postive the cakes where 100% done.

idk why u would have over a hundered holes in the fruiting chamber? that could possibly dry out ur cakes.. and i think that might be a couple degrees low.. and light should be 12/12....and the light could be the wrong spectrum or sump. maybe sum1 will come in and correct me or add to this.
but yea i would look into these areas.

only put a lotta holes if you can make like 6inches of perlite, if not, make a few holes.
the holes let the perlite evaporate faster meaning more humidity.
