Stalled Pint Jars: What NOW?
    #9645539 - 01/20/09 12:41 PM (15 years, 30 days ago)

Ive done my research and read many posts on it. I found that the Pint jars were not the best way to go but I followed the PF Tek to a T. The moisture in the jars when inoculated was perfect and none have contams in the Jars. I turned them upside down and they have been this way for about a week. I still have seen no improvement in growth of mycelium. They are colonized bout 75% the strains are Golden Teachers and B+. They have been incubating for over a month and a half. I was just interested in a lil extra help. I also have some half pint jars that are the same strains but they are nearly complete and have been only incubating for 3weeks. What do I do?

Temperature can slow growth. It's winter so i'm sure everyone's respective homes are cooler. Ideal temps are 75F - 80ishF

I like 77 personally. My fav. number :>


Also, PF TEK performs poorly with pint jars as opposed to 1/2 pint. It's not uncommon for them to stall and start forming hyphal knots and pinning before 100% colonization. If growth has stalled for more than a week it's consolidating it's hold on what sub it does have colonized and will probably start pinning in your jar.

When this happened to me I just birthed the cake and removed the uncolonized spawn and crumbled what I had to a small tray and cased it. Worked out great.

GL!


EDIT - Contamination is also a possible cause. Usually bacterial. If it is bacteria it should have a sour smell to it. Otherwise it will smell like fresh mushroom :>

what temp are you colonizing at?  you do not need to 'incubate'.

Evolution is Lamarckism in disguise.  Adaptation never creates a new species or trait, but rather the new species/trait always existed within the parent DNA until circumstances allowed it to be activated.  For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

What kind of lids/filters are you using? My jars have stalled before from insufficient gas exchange.

Do you have any pix of the 1/2 pts?

If they are colonized except for the bottom you can birth and cut the uncolonized portion off, dunk and roll, them put into fruiting conditions.

stalled jars can be a symptom of several different issues, the most serious of which is bacterial contamination, often resulting in specific regions of the jar not colonizing and subsequently producing a 'wet' or 'greasy' look.

hopefully this is just a case of insufficient gas exchange but we would need to know what type of lids you are using in order to determine that

Sorry I responded so late I had to work, but the lids that im using are the regurlar mason jar lids with 2 inoculation holes(2 for less likeliness for contams) The temp. is round 77-78. I recently tapped the jars so the substrate wouldnt be touching the bottom of the jar and opened the lids for a few seconds. Anything else I can do and they do not have a bad smell.

Birth, cut off the bottoms and proceed, assuming they smell OK.  Next time, use the proper sized jars.
