A Complete Pictorial & Editorial Shroom Grow!

Well I did a good shaking of the syringes before inoculation and the clumps broke up very easily and by time injection came there were plenty of little fuzzes floating in the water ;)

This should ultimately do the trick!

I'll give it another 7 days until the other jars are fully colonized and ready for the big DUNK & ROLL!

The other 5 jars are doing fabulous!

I would guess-ti-mate them to be fully colonized by Tuesday...

Fruiting shall be a marvel... now only if I had a live camera and capture the growth just like that of a flower seen on DISCOVERY CHANNEL ;)

Just a suggestion, but when your jars are 100 percent you may want to think of using one to make some myc water with. When you noc jars with myc water they colonize super fast. Its the easest thing to do too. just requires some boiling water and a sterile empty syringe. basicly you turn 1 jar into 100's if you so choose.

Can you please explain more... I have plenty of sterile syringes... you got any links on how to do this procedure!

Its simple

fist off follow all sterile precedures as normal( sterile syringe, spray work room heavily with oust, etc...)

1 make a pot off boiling water( keep it boiling thru-out the proccess)

2 sterilize syringe ( i usualy wrap syringe in foil and PC it for 10 mins)

3 suck up boiling water into syringe and let cool to room temp

4 inject water into 100% colinized jar via one of the same holes you used to initially noc the jar up. using all the usual sterile precedures ofcourse ( alcohol wipe the needle and injection site, etc..) .it is alwase good to use your best jar for this, i.e fastest and strongest growth.

5 Repeat steps 2-4 untill desired amount of water is in colonized jar

6 shake jar ( this is where the mycelium cells are picked up in the water, the more you shake, the more cells)

7 Again, using sterile precedures and syringe, extract the now mycelium layden water into your syringe and use it to innoculate more jars.

you should notice growth within 3 days, and it grows FAST. The cake that was in the jar that was used to hold the water can still be dunked and rolled without any harm done to the cake.

I bet myc water is a good way to start an outdoor patch too :)

If you want to research it more just check out the shroomery. I learned this from reading one of roger rabbits post there, and that guy knows his shit.

No worries, the only prob i see with that tek is that it requires you to take the lid off the jar exposing it to contams.

A glovebox, you could make yourself for $5 is almost as obligatory as a presure cooker for anything above and beyond a growkit.

Glove boxes work well, especialy for things like G2G's but with something like this, why risk it when you can just use a sterile needle?

Syke1!

You have my seal of approval... for someone who know's his shit ;)

This brief description could aid in much bigger flushes...

Kudos to you my friend!

Just to make things clear...

You're saying that my jars have to be fully colonized before doing the mycelium water procedure?

Yes, whenever I think my jars are 100% i wait 2 more days as well, just incase the center of the cake/grain is not colonized yet.

I don't like admiting failure, but I have tried the inject distilled water thing before and ended with 6 green jars.
