9 days and nothin on quarts of rye (pics)
    #7979458 - 02/04/08 07:32 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

So last saturday I inoculated 4 quart jars of rye berries and 5 1/2 to 1 pint jars of BRF with 2 cambo syringes. All brf jars show signs of growth (some far more then others) But none of the rye show ANY signs of growth whatsoever. No visible contams or mycellium.

I have read that if a week passes with no growth something went wrong. Which is the reason for my post. I prepared as followed

I bought the rye from an ULTRA hippie vegan small grocery(It didn't come by the bag but rather scoop your own by the pound. It did say organic)
Soaked berries for 16+ hours
washed and simmered for bout 15-20 minutes
while hot strained and sifted to dry off
20 minutes later loaded jars bout 3/4ths full
PCed for bout 2 hours
innculated the next morning under sterile conditions
bout 2cc per jar
oh ya, I'm using a 3/4" hole stuffed with Polyfil for gas exchange

They have been incubating with the BRF jars at the top shelf of my closet. Temps a consistent 80-84.





As you may or may not be able to see from the pics they are certainly not too wet. If anything they are on the dry side

PLEASE anyone with good experience with rye help me! I can't figure out what could be wrong. I cracked open 1 jar to see if there was any strange smell but it just smelled like rye thatd been kept at round 83 degrees

The only thing I can think of is that its not actually organic rye but considering the source and that the label said organic i'm at a loss.

Please help!

you got me. no growth is better then contam. your doing something right so far. and you say the same solution worked under another substrate.
inoculate again?
wait?
i think you assumption of faulty rye might have something to do with it.

what brand was it?

Sounds to me like there might have been a fungicide on the rye.

When they advertise organic it usually means no preservatives or any of that junk but to be officially labeled organic, it simply needs to be GROWN organically (without unnatural chemicals)... after its been picked they can do less than organic things to it to keep it from going bad to a degree.

Atleast that's how it was a few years ago when I worked with a vegan and he filled me in everyday about things only vegans know or care about. Maybe "organic" has become a much stricter label these days and I'm totally off.

Whatever you do, wait a few more days. No harm in that I'd think. Hopefully someone will know a definitive answer because it sounds like you covered all the usual shortcomings that causes problems like these.

No, I still have around 6+ cc in one of the syringes. I simply used solution from 2 different syringes. I suppose I should clarify that

Also, I'm thinkin of making an lc and shooting up a few cc's of that in. If that doesn't cause some growth then I'm lost.

9 days isn't all that long. Give it at least another week before you start freaking out. Especially if you injected into the middle of the jar.

did you inject into the middle of the jar? I recently tried my hand at some Wagner Wild Bird food- don't know if there is fungicide or not.

has there ever been a case where there was positivly fungicied in the seed and it resulted in no colonization?

positively, i dunno. might be cost prohibitive to find out.
i have used to different rye with the same lc. before i know there was difference and the one that wasn't labeled organic didn't do shiest

"Organic" is a very strict label. In order for Products/produce to be able to carry the "organic" label it has to be grown on land that has been pesticide free for a certain amount of time. Furthermore, the soil on that said land has to be tested and approved by the USDA. I really don't think that after the growing process they would add fungicides. Defeats the entire concept of being "organic". (I am referring to grains and produce). Has any one even questioned the Syringe itself!

Well since I bought it by the pound and the label on the container just said organic and not an offical bag is the reason I question it.

The reason I'm not too worried about the syringe is because I have BRF growing fine from the same syringe.

GAH! It's happening all over again!

On a more serious level...

Since the grain was in bins, perhaps the store owner added a lil majik to keep his product fresh?

I dunno, I would like to believe that "all organic" companies wouldn't do anything to deceive customers but business is business and the "all organic" label sells regardless of half-truths. If they can technically get away with squirting non-organic junk on it after the organic stamp has been applied... you know SOMEONE is willing to do it.

That being said...
It would be rare that the soaking/rinsing process didn't clean of those chemicals either way so it's a real shot in the dark.

Wait for another week... hell, wait till it contams for that matter.

I wouldn't try to waste any more spores on that grain any time soon tho.

Cheers!

I'm sorry, "THE TERM", (organic), bears with it a heavy burden in the U.S.A. You can't "make the claim" without the USDA rules being applied. To better understand this, take a look at this......http://www.dellanatura.com/about_organic.asp

No offence intended, I'm just speculating. I agree that it's probably organic through and through if it got the seal of approval.

But seriously, bins man ... bins. lol

Cheers!

Thanks for the input everyone.

I did inject into the centerish and not the sides. Does this make a big difference?

When the mycelium starts to grow, it'll probably do so starting at the center and working outwards, meaning, yes, it will take longer for it to be visible.

Also if your grain is a bit dry, a good LC will make quick work.
