Looking delicious moorhS... 

[FULL MEMBER]

Little update for you guys... 

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! 

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.    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... 

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!   

Glad to hear everything went well. Hoping for a speedy recovery! Get better Malabar!

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... 

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!   

Lun0s, Dub and Jab have it dead on. If its at the top, its prolly the protective barrier you put there. It wont colonize.

If its at the bottom, do what Jab said. Ive read a few posts that suggest the same thing.

Good Luck! Hope all goes well. 

[KILLING ME!]

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

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. 

i agree with IAmFungi, at least you got something, lol. Good luck on your next run Dub. Cant wait to see what you got cookin. 

i guess im new at this, cause that looks great to me, lol. 

they look awesome shroomzer. grats! cant wait to see pics of the next few flushes. 

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. 

sounds good moorhs...ill see you in the Feb. photo contest hopefully. Looks like everyone is knockin somethin up right now.

in all seriousness...i just hope somethin grows, lol... 

Good Luck Everyone!

Wish me luck guys. Just knocked up 12 Jars. 6 Malabar and 6 Dancing Tiger. Have them Incubating at a nice 80 degrees F right now.

Thanks for everything guys, couldnt have done it without all of your help.
