Just a little update and a question or two. The 12 jars all seem fine so far, no funny smells, no odd colors. The good thing is, i see my first signs of mycelium!  ^_^

The 6 jars of DT (dancing tiger) are already showing thier first signs after 4 days (awesome). The Malabar are a bit slower it seems, only 2 jars have a slight bit of growth. Def less than 5% for the 2 Malabar.

First question is, has anyone ever tried the DT type of mushy? I didnt find any info about it really. Just wondering what results you guys got from them.

Second quetion is, is 4 days fast for jars to be at about 10%? It seems to be pretty quick at colonizing considering its only been 4 days and all 6 jars are at least 10% colonized.

Im just wondering, and trying to keep myself occupied so as not to mess around with my jars...being patient is tough, lol. But, thanks to you guys, i have my first signs of growth and no signs of contams. Thanks again for everything guys. Hopefully if all goes well, ill be able to donate some spore prints.  ^_^

hey Helo, sorry but i have no experience with DTs. but i'm sure somebody has.

Second question, your good. differant strain move faster then others.. also depends on how much juice you gave them. :mellow:

 :mellow: remember, the fewer times you interrupt their growing cycle by exposing them to light, the faster they will colonize the cake. I know, I know it's hard to just leave them in the dark. That is the best method. Good luck with your grow.

It's killing me Coyoteyogi...KILLING ME!  :angry:

I've been good all day today though, I haven't opened my incubating chamber once! I'm going to leave them alone for today and check them tomorrow. I'm just so damn excited.  ^_^

Thanks again for all the help guys. And thanks for all of your support. It's been easy with all your patience and guidance.  ^_^

After you have completed a few successful grows you will relax and not be quite so impatient. It's hard at first for most of us because we have never grown or seen anything like this growing in controlled conditions.

It's definently awesome watching the mycelium spread throughout the substrate. Even though only the DT's are colonizing (the Malabars seem to have stalled or stopped), it's still amazing to watch the 6 jars. It was great watching it on video, but it's so much coolor seeing it up close. The DT's are colonizing pretty quickly too, they seem to be really agressive, which is cool because I get to see alot of progress every day. I can't wait to birth them. The suspense is unbearable...  :wacko:

The best part of watching the mycelium grow is seeing ALL WHITE. Green may be my favorite color, but not in this case, lol. Good Luck on your grows everyone. Hope to see you in the February Picture Contest!   ^_^

Little update for you guys...  :mellow:

All 6 DT jars are about 80% colonized. Some are a bit more than others, but none are over 90%. Still colonizing quickly though. The top inch of the jars seem to be colonizing a bit slower than the bottom. Can't wait to birth these jars!  :wacko:

The Malabars, on the other hand, are still not showing much. Two jars are still only showing about 5% colonization, while the other Four show nothing.  :huh:  However, i'm being patient. No weird smells, no odd colors, and the substrate still looks ok.

I'm trying to get some pictures up, but my computer won't accept my camera's memory card...it's being difficult...  :angry:

Hope you're all doing great, and I hope your grows are flourishing.  ^_^

P.S. I'm a FULL MEMBER now!! lol. Thanks for accepting me into your Fungi Community with open arms everybody!   ^_^
