80* is perfectly fine.

in fact you could incubate at 75* if you want too.

oh, have a look at the puerto ricans i harvested yesterday
:mrgreen:



if you incubate at room temperature it will take long to have 100% col. and 80 is fine but 82-83 is better

and congrats on harvest but thatss a pretty weak pinset for a caseing!!! did you case with coir???

As long as the stuff that grows is white and your jars don't get a sour apple/ cidery smell you are doing fine.

so yours took like 5 days to start? thats what i thought...... chill out on those black dots for now.... but black is real bad if its a certain bacteria im thinking. but its too early to tell now. it could just be just nothing... lets just let them colonize a bit more huh? just watch those black dots and let me know if they are growing..... as for green... it may be penicillin mold, or it could just be mycellium bruiseing, but if it is that it should bruise like a greenish blue at first, then turn a dark blue color... let me know if that stays green, or keeps growing. but let them do there thing for a while. and has the mycellium grows your gonna see yellow strains... those are just the metabolites from mycellium, aka myc piss.. remeber that like weed plants mycellium is a living breathing thing too..... lets just wait a few days before we get all antsy about it\

also cakes begin to shrink once there ready to fruit, so when that happends dont trip its natural.... dont forget to dunk and roll!!!! it makes a huge diffrence!!!! dunk for atleast 12 hours but 24 is better i think. but if you really wanna be down i would case those pf cakes to some pastureised cow shit and straw.......... THAT WILL MAKE A HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE DIFFRENCE

and for the record when i did cakes back in the day i sometimes would get contams late once in a while, and many times was able to successfully remove them from the cakes just by simply cutting off the infected area, and then cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip... also remember that mycellium is strong and will hold contams at bay and pretty much to a certain area if the substrate is colonized enough... mycellium is strong soo much so that once fully 100% colonized inside and out it pretty much cant be contaminated.....
