I have nine cakes going, one cake is has green mold growing on it i tosed i noticed it yesterday but it was not green it was white but...but on the other end of the box i have one that is growing good what should i do?!?!?!? will they finish growing???

has any one ever ordered a large amount from Ralphster spores

are all of these capable of liquid mycelium culture http://www.ralphstersspores.com/USA/index.php?cPath=1  wich of these are the hardest to grow

im about to birth the cakes. what should we wash the inside of our fruiting chamber with?

yup we have a field out back i just threw it over the fence

do you steam the jars for 2 hours with the brf in it or without

ok thanks abnuch!

can you re use molded jars?

no iv been just leaving them in my room in a box should i be? and how can i collect the live mycelium from the jars so i can inoculate new jars?

there B+ thought it was suppsed to be at 85?

I am confused. My first batch of jars i innoculated are going great. They have a half inch of perlite on top accidently instead of vermiculite. They were even sterelized in a crappy pressure cooker without the rubber seal in the lid. i ordered the spore syringe from the hawks eye.
Now the problem. Been using a spore print and making own syringe. Even bought a new pressure cooker. But all have been molding since. Our incubating container is a fish heater in four inches of water with another plastic containter to hold the jars. there are little droplets of water inside of the jars. Constantly 85 degrees F and 32% humidity.
for steralizing the syring i boiled water for ten minutes sucked it up in the syring 4 or 5 times. waited 2 hours for it to cool off then i went in to a stireal room under the stiairs i cleaned entirley with clorox and then spraid the room with lysol. if i dont wait long enought for the lysol to settle can it do anything to the prints?

another thing i noticed was when i made up my srying and let it set for 18 hours they didint collect  together like the one i had goten already made up.

does it matter what the humidity level is inside the box  while its colonizing the jars?

My bf left me to do this and im not sure. Can you stack jars on top of eachother when you have to pressure cook them?

lo lok thx alot figured id ask befor doing!

should i resteralize the jars or go ahead and inocculate them?

Steralized the jars on monday, are they still good today being thursday?

can you use watered down bleach to sanitize the shot glass to add the spors in

?

well i did everything to the pf-tek but i stupidly add a half inch of pearlite to the top of the jar instead of using vermiculite!! wow smart

b+ spores to colonize the jar?
