Try not to fuck with them too much now!
The verm barrier isn't all that secure, try not to pick them up. Too many jars I lost on my first try from picking em up

I have taken your advice and have stopped handling the jars. Here a couple updated pics. These guys in the front middle are 11 days after inoculation the big jars only a couple days older. What do you guys think of these bigger jars. The stuff growing looks almost clear and is more fuzzy. I'm afraid it's cobweb but spots that I thought were cobweb have turned solid bright white. In time I know. LOL let me know what you think.

Ok guys I have a few jars that are only about 20 days after innoc. but there are pins forming near the verm layer and the bottoms are not fully colonized. I have read up on this and it seems maybe my vent holes are way to big. My question is if they are already pinning should I dunk and roll them? If not is there anything else I can do to induce more pins?? Or should I even birth them??I am experimenting with these a little. I have about 4 jars with these pins and I already birthed 2 of them. Pics will be posted later.=)peace

Ok here is one jar about 21 days after innoc. I added a little more verm. in these jars and they are colonizing a lot faster then my other jars. I'm going to wait about week or so and case most of these jars. I have two cakes in my FC now but all i did was just dump them in there. I didn't want to waste any pins so I just set the whole thing in there, as for all my other jars I think i will dunk and roll. Also for these two I didn't dunk, is there anything else beside light and RH to jump start the pins?? I have read you are not supposed to spray your cakes directly but what if I didn't dunk and roll?? Will spraying them lightly help any or hurt??[image][/image][image][/image]

Here is close up of one the cakes I just put in the FC. Mycelium is still growing. Can this hurt the shroom? [image][/image]

I just decided to throw up an updated pic of my jars together. The guys on top are 21 days and about 26 days on bottom. Most of these are eqs but I have 4 jars of PF Classic that are only 13 days old and close to filling up the whole jar. The one on the top left is a PF. super fast colonization!!![image][/image]

dude. You should cover those with a blanket or something while they are colonizing. The light is what is causing them to pin in the jar and likely drawing out your colonization time. I usually wait until mine fully colonize and then a while. It looks like your putting yours into the FC when they aren't even fully colonized. Most people wait until fully colonized and then about a week un-incubated for the mycelium to take it's hold on the substrate.

That's the protective top verm layer that wouldn't fall off, not substrate. I didn't want to scrape the rest of it off because I was worried that I would lose a number of the pins. I removed all uncolonized substrate. The only reason I put those in the FC was because they were already pinning. I'm waiting till full colonization to birth the rest. These jars are in a closet all day and are only shown light while checking them. Anyways if you look RR, has posted many times that light does not cause jars to pin. In fact there is a post were he recommends light on the jars from day one. From what I've read, they will not pin until they are ready to.

Usualy you get rid of it when you dunk and roll.

IME aborts don't survive a dunk. They usually turn blue and eventually just die. So you might as well just eat em or dry em or whatever.

OK so here is a pic of the first shroom I got but my question is does this look like an EQ to any of you?? The syringe was labeled Ecuador but it looks a lot different to me but I'm no expert. The cap is turning up. Is this just a mutant or am I doing something wrong?? Also here is a pic of three more cakes dunked and rolled just 1 day before.[image][/image][image][/image]

there's no question that cap is a mutant. But unless you are getting poor FAE I wouldn't worry.

I'd say there's probably plenty of FAE, look at all the holes in that FC. Unless there is absolutely no airflow in that room...would like to know how you accomplish that, no need for a glove box then, haha. Hmm...idea, start working in a vacuum.

Re: First time growing. Using PF tek with EQ+ spores( IS THIS AN ECUADOR??) [Re: tpihkal]

The FC is in a pretty big closet and we taped a tarp over a door and put a tarp zipper down the front of it. FAE at least 5 times a day plus all the holes. I know FAE is not a problem here. RH stays between 95%-99% by misting the sides of the FC when droplets fade. But I would like an opinion on what strain everyone thinks that is. Like I said I bought Ecuadors but from the pics that I've seen it doesn't look like an eq. I'm getting ready to add a bubble wand for constant AE. Here is a better pic of how we got this set up.[image][/image]
