PF - Tek / New "Q" bout colonization
June 29, 2007, 06:59:40 PM
Hay ya'all of ya,

two batches of jars, different rooms in the house, one of which was started and still is in double tub tek to maintain temp. the second batch in plain opaque single tub.

the tub tek jars have condensation and the second doesn't. the second was started 5 days after the first and lookin kind of dry. Colonizing is going well in both.

would it be good idea to swap location of the batches and try to get moisture in the second batch or just do the experimento (which I have no prob with).

I would like opinion please. and thanx.

ollright, but it is one the bottom of several of the jars of 12. a faded blue and not taking over but definately color, on the side just up from the bottom of one is looking slightlly yellowish also. Other than that most all cakes are getting the fuzzy looking fog almost furry but blurry on the sides and looking like it might be knotting or something.

savvy, anyone?

ok guys, I don't get this,

it has been 5 weeks today, myc in the jars lookin pretty good. until about 2 days ago when I noticed some soft bluing on the very bottom (not the sides at all) of damn near half (6) of the jars.

I am wondering if sitting all this time on their asses waiting and striving to colonize if they are getting tired or what?

Is it definately contam or will it go away if I turn em upside down so they can finish, breathe or something (you know, exercise of some kind)? I have had them at a steady 79-80 degrees in a dark colored double tubs with aquarium heater (PF incubator), and covered with a bath towel the whole time.

Another batch of 10 I have had in opaque tub, no heater and covered with towel and they are lookin allright taking awful long time for mycellium to cover the BRF and not very thick either. they are about 5 days (one month since innoc) behind the above batch. The MYC is covering ok but is thin and can  still see the subtrate, kinda of transparent. no bluing on those yet anyway.

thanks for inputs, guys

what i'd like to know ahead of time is: will the fruit dryer work good, fair, or poorly. that is I disconnected the heat element. the daytime temps are getting warm so the air will or should going into it will be dry.

thanks, appreciate your input.

I might not get that chance since it has been near 5 weeks and still in the jars waiting to do the "Fully". I didn't realize in beginning there was so much info and involvment.

will wait and see what happens. gotta see more.

thanks Baph, I appreciate it. you got it together bro. yer cool.

not sure I'll need anything though. ive used a good chunk of time tryin to get this "Off The Land".  jars have been 5 weeks and still not "fully" ,,, way slow.
(PF Classic syringes from The Hawkseye. alot of spores in one and not too much in another. took him a while to send also. was off on adventure golfing and seeking different strains in the tropics, i think).

I don't give up very often, but this is trying the hell uv me.

I'll just wait it out and see what happens. gottta feel that success and sense of appreciation

I'd  just use the simple minds method of fanninng and misting but sounds like something else is needed, like holes in the tub or foggers and fish pumps. need simple but effective.
