"peeled my cap"...LOL!
I read that the Penis Envy strain is supposed to be very strong.  I don't know from personal experience though.

Okay, so I just innoculated 2 new jars with the Mazatapec strain.  The syringe looked to be chock full of spores.  I'm kinda bummed b/c I saw jabwemet's post with incredible growth after just 1 week!  Hopefully these 2 jars will do better than the last ones!

Where did you get your spores?  I just did my first run of this and it's been almost 3 weeks and I have NOTHING like your growth!  How warm do you think you've kept them?

Okay...thanks.  I checked my incubator and the 2 that are growing are from the same syringe of PF Classic (2 of 3 are growing).  The 3 that were done with B+ are all NOT growing.  So maybe it was that the spores weren't viable.  I think I'm going to sterilize and innoculate 2 more jars tonight with the remainder of the spore solution from the PF syringe (I only used 6 of 10 ml so far).  I still have unused syringes of a Mexican strain and of Penis Envy too.

Thanks.  I've got 2 other strains that I haven't tried yet, so I might innoculate some more jars and see if those do any better.

Thanks for the encouragement!  I think I read on the PF Tek method that you should see signs of growth in 3 - 5 days, so I've had that in my mind all along.  But it seems now that weeks or even a month or more is not uncommon.

+/- 2ccs per jar

Thanks for your replies guys.  Yes, I do have an incubator and I've brought the temperature inside it to 80 degrees.  The one jar with growth is moving along nicely and now another has started to show growth.  Still 4 with nothing though and it's been 16days.

Hello.  I just started my first growing attempt.  I have used the PF method and followed it to the T (but I did use a regular pot with lid for 90 minutes instead of the pressure cooker for sterilization).  I innoculated 3 jars with 2ml of the B+ strain each.  I innoculated 3 other jars with 2ml of the PF Classic strain each.  I got my spores from the Hawk's Eye.  I have kept the jars at around 81 degrees for 9 days and I can't see any visible growth, except for one jar, which has a dime-sized white cottony sunburst on the side of the jar.  Question 1: does that sound like mycelium?  Question 2: shouldn't I see growth in the other 5 jars by now?  Thanks!!!!
