PF Tek Jars, Foil and No Foil Experiment
    #8211254 - 03/29/08 05:26 PM (16 years, 2 days ago)

After about 6 months of research and talking to my friends who have grown i decided to grow. I was using some year old Cambodian spores that a friend had given me. He said they were likely to not work but give it a shot.

I went the PF Tek way and i knocked up 10 jars. 5 of the jars were done 1 week and 1 day ago. First pic. Its hard to see but there is a tiny bit of mycelium growing on that one.

That jar was stored just like that in my incubator, ill try and get a picture of that up here in a few. No light gets in and it sits at 79-80 degrees all the time.

The other 5 jars i knocked up were done 5 days ago. They were done without the jar tops and using foil instead. The foil was put on in 2 layers, bottom with inoculation holes and top without. The foil pieces that i cut were really large so they covered about the top half of the jar. I wasnt going to be checking them alot so i just left it. Today i went to check and low-an-behold look what i found.




Absolutely beautiful, mycelium. These jars were stored at the same conditions in the same place as the other jars without the foil. The foil seemed to keep the jars at just above the temp in the incubator and made it optimal for growing. The mycelium grew only where the foil was covering the jar, in the picture i pulled up the foil to get a good shot(yeah im horrible at taking pictures).

If anyone is having problems with slow growing mycelium id say give this a try. Just lightly wrap the jar in foil and don't check it for a few days. Let me know if you want a write up on my substrate or incubator, id be glad to give it to help out anyone in need.

Good Luck!

Micro-pore tape is the best, IMHO.
