transplanting PF jars to Rye....

Having really hard time getting PF jars to colonize quickly. It has been about 6 weeks and only 2 out of 15 jars are 100%. A few days ago I took a few of the jars, cracked them open and removed the Mycelium and transplanted it into qt. jars of rye and they immediately took off. I mean took off! today my rye jars are fully colonized. No contam or anything. All books I read on Mycology stated that you should do PF tek a few times b4 attempting bulk. Although I have not grown a single "one" yet, I find that it is WAY more exciting looking at grain jars going so fast, rather than watching PF jars do barely anything. I hope I have as much luck spawning as I have with Rye. I have 10 or so bulk jars

Wait, you took an uncolonized PF cake out from it's jar?
Don't do that. You were very very very lucky not to get contaminations.

Doesnt sound good, 2 days colinisation time is far to fast for colinisation. Even from doing a grain to grain.
If your pf teks are taking ages to colinise. your doing something wrong.
overly wet substrate Incubation temps to hight no gas exchange contamination

Basically, I removed the cakes at about 75%. There was no growth in them for over a week. I figured that rather than wait for contam to show up i would experiment. I put it in my glove box and cut away the mycelium. Then transferred to rye. It has been like 4 days now and they seem to be taking right off, big time. I cut the mycelium into like 1cm pieces and put them and required peroxide into jars. Incubated at 80 degrees, they seem to be doing fine. I have to think that an uncolonized pf jar would contam after 6wks of growth so figured I would have nothing to lose, right?

You could have just removed the uncolonized parts and fruited it.
A cake not colonizing properly is usually either not enough GE, too much FAE (starts pinning) or bacteria. If it's bacteria, congrats you just transfered bacteria to your grain...

I would expect to see alot of metobolites if there was bacteria present.
Quote:
A large amount of metabolites generally means a bit of bacteria in the jar. The metabolites are antibiotic secretions, so when they're in large amounts, it usually means something is up. High colonization temps will also lead to metabolite production, so remember to colonize jars at room temperature.
A jar with a good filter will contain any contaminants that are within, so don't toss it out. Don't use any jar with a lot of metabolites for grain to grain transfers, but if they colonize fine, they're good to use for spawning to bulk. RR

I'm hoping you're still active on this forum. What was the result of this experiment?
I'm considering using some of my successful PF Tek mycelium to transfer to one of my grain jars as an experiment, but I would prefer not to waste time and space (pun intended).

Did this a week ago and now I have 12 fully colonized quarts of rye from 3 pf cakes. Just did it as an experiment and it worked great.

Did you cut from the cakes or use the mycelium covered base of mushrooms (just saw a video where the latter was used to grow oyster mushrooms in coffee grounds)?

It was, but I've already gotten useful verification of what I was looking for.

i put the pf cake in a ziplock bag and mashed it into tiny bits, then transferred into quart jars of rye berries in an sab, just like how you would do a normal g2g. it worked just fine.

I use a cheese grater! I have never tried without for a comparison though.

hell you could probably do it with a knife on a cutting board and still get good results.
i just tried this out on a lark because i had an old syringe sitting around and hadnt played with pf cakes in forever.

The grater is a pain in the ass. I wonder if it is really worth the effort.

yeah, i doubt the grater is worth it.
i also used some of the cakes (12 of them actually) to spawn to cvg in a 27 qt mini mono and ended up harvesting 6 ounces dry, much better than you would ever expect from 12 pf cakes in an sgfc.

did you use modified lids or did you dispose of the dry verm barrier in the SAB?

actually, i dumped the dry verm barrier, then dropped the cake out of the jar and into a ziploc bag and sealed it. then transferred the bag into my sab. once the cake is colonized its pretty hard to contaminate it.

but the cake itself can pick up contams from the air that can germinate on the fresh and uncolonized grains.

this is true, but i had no problems with it, ultimately its only in the open air for less than a second.
