Room temps of course... as for humidity... my FC is always above the 95% range. I'm just a little frustrated on the fact that each of my cakes only giving me a few grams!

PICS PICS PICS! I knocked up 2 jars on wednesday last week(ecuadorian strain). One of the jars showed signs of colonization within 72 hours on 2 innoculation points, the other didnt show any signs at all. I ended up trashing the jar with no signs today. So its been 7 days now. And this is where my jar is at.
I basically used caveman style this time around, BRF cakes, no pressure cooker. I had to make my own Brf with my own weed grinder, i used weed jars to make the cakes. Im surprized Ive made it this far! So, with that being said. For 7 days, how up to par are my myceliaaaaa??

The grow is going great! It was a slow start....
But I just picked a 50 gram mushroom... wet weight of course. But still a monster in my books
Will post some lovely pictures in the next few days!

that looks fucking disgusting... ill stick to my local liberty caps thank you very much :LThe strains are like veins, nice work again ANC!
Of course, I am working with the most obvious: BRF CAKES!
I just contacted the store where I purchased them and I'm gonna return for wide mouth straight edge jars!
I always heard the smaller the jar the better...as the mycelium seems to grow faster and tends to grow everywhere... is this true?
I got my 70% alcohol on hand... I"m gonna do a thorough cleaning of my floors and counters

Thought I'd give you some encouragement to get going...
Oyster mycelium grown on corn and wood chips from my barbeque (we call it braai as we use the coals from a wood fire, not that shitty charcoal stuff).
And the rest are pictures of some very healty cambodiens. Observe the strandy mycelium, this is a good sign of a good genetic mix.
quoted wrong post meant this mofo

What do you think supports the growth of your liberty caps? I'd be willing to bet that you would find something pretty similar growing beneath those liberty caps.

Many people dont know this... but you can simply dump the mycelium out of the jar and the mushrooms will still grow accordingly. It's just be an uneven clump of subtrate, it doesnt' look nice but it will do the job! Many places sell untappered jars... if you can't find locally do a quick google search and you'll find Ball or Kerr jars.

really...so if i do use my non-tapered jars, i cant dunk and roll right? and then in the fruting chamber i still have to lay,tin foil or something to keep the dumper mycelium off the perlite,correct? sorry for the quest, new to growin. although im sure ill still make an error, part of learning.

Yes you can still dunk & roll my friend! But if you can return those jars and get non tapered instead, that'll be a better idea! Less risk of failure that way.

Hey i was gonna do some Shiitake mushrooms, along with some cubes, but then i find Shiitake is grown off logs or saw dust. So i couldnt just treat shiitake like a cube and grow it in a tub w/ vermiculite or any other base substrate? As for a bulk substrate, i saw ANC throwin up the corn kernnals, those are hella cheap and it sounds like it'd work. Can i buy a pack of it from a grocery store, or does it have to be in a more raw form? I noticed you said sift through it and get all the dust and cracked ones out while dry, but a pack of kernals you get at Shop n Save is all preped up w/ no cracked ones or anything like that, would that work?
So if i use corn, would i just mix it with the vermic. and then steralize it by throwin it in a oven bag and baking it? By the way, big fan of the mushie growers, thanks for all the support
