PF - Tek / Can you mix you spores strains on a cake?

What will happen to a jar if you inoculate with 2 species?

I will let you know when they come in, I did make a batch of 6 over the weekend myself,  I ordered 6 more online, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  I should be feeling great in 6 to 8 weeks.  just so you know I gave up on the whole heating pad thought. too many bad reactions...

Thanks,  just some frustration there, this is my 3rd time im trying to grow and it hasnt gone very well so far.  1st time i inoculated too soon, everything died, this time, i made 4 jars 2 were contaminated and the 2 left are still trying to colonize the whole jar.  I have about 95% or so.  Im really hoping this works.

I'm going to try one more time, I just purchased pre sterilized jars from a web site.  The cakes that I made are not as bright white like most pics I see of fully colonized jars.  Some spots of my sub didnt totally colonize 100%.  I shook one and it was crap inside, i chucked it.  the others are mostly done except for a few spots that just wont turn white.  Its not discolored just the sub hasnt gotten white.  Are the pre sterile jars good?

you say you broke it up?  just in a few chuncks or really broken up to little pieces?  This stuff is pissing me off, I really want this to work.

what else could I put it in besides a bread tin?  I should use the perilite normally as I would in a regular chamber?

PW would you birth the cake normally? cam says to put it in a tin?  Im not sure what to do, 

You were right I shook the 50% jar and it was green inside, I chucked it...  Im going to try and post some pics, im not sure how the remaining jars are doing.

I have the same problem, this is my 3rd attempt and I'm getting frustrated,  its like the cakes just stopped growing one day.  its been about 4 weeks and at 3 weeks I noticed no difference from day to day.  I pulled one of the cakes the was 95% colonized and left it out for 1 week so far.  Will 95% start to pin and fruit?
