Never with a jar not starting. I have had them stunt, and I have had contamination problems also. So there is NOTHING at all in the jars growing? Did you loosen the lids any? after inoculation you must unscrew the lids a little bit to allow air exchange. ALSO just thought iof this, did you put the metal lid on upside down? As in the rubber part up? If not, you have an airtight jar and that may be why you have had to growth. To FAE (fresh air exchange) thats prolly what is going on.

no nothing in the jars not even any type of contams. I also thought the no growth may be due to lack of air exchange. I have half inch holes in the top of each jar. I have a piece of the fiber paper the post office uses to send packages in. well i have a piece of that under each lid before i closed them and i also have cotton balls stuffed in the wholes in the lids. When nothing grew in 3 jars i loosened 2 up and pulled the cotton ball out of the third just to see if i could figure it out. i also shot another cc into those 3 jars and 5 days later still nothing its about 15 days since i first innoculated them

Dont pull out the cotton! That blocks contams! you loosen the rim a quarter screw or so. Thats plenty! Where did you gets your spores from? how are you keeping your jars? They need to be kept in a warm dark place. 78-82F warmth else SLOW growth. Did you shake up your spore syringe if thats what your using? Did you shake your jars? Do you store the syringe in a fridge or room temp? Can you see "spores" in the water in the syringe. There are a ton of possiblilites, and I'm trying to think what could be your culprit.

yeah i know theres so many variables it could be anything. I havent even gotten contam growth in the jar with no cotton. I got the spores from spore store.com and i kinda wonder about the quality of there spores now. I did see some spores in the syringe but not many and to make up for it i used the 3 cc per jar. I have all my jars in a box next to my computer so its nice and warm

hmmm. Go buy a humidity/temp gauge. they ar like under $10 at walmart. Both in one unit. and it has a little wire you can "fish" into your box to make sure it is warm enough. this is a good tool too because you need to keep your humidity at 95% through the pinning stages of your caps. Make sure your lids are loose, not falling off, and give them a good shake to stir the spores around. Maybe they are all in the core of the jars.

hey guys. i was going to buy my spores in the next few days and attempt to start my growing this weekend. just out of curiosity what sites have you guys used for your spores. there are so many and you can never really tell how legit they are. i want to grow golden teacher. have any of you bought golden teacher and grown them and its worked, if so which site did u get them from?

Thanks.

JB

I got my Golden Teacher spores from spores101.com. Took about a week to arrive. Discreet packageing
Been growing them for a couple months now.

Heard good things about RalphstersSpores.com too.

I use hawkseye.c0m and as far as seeing spores, it wont be "cloudy" but you will see stuff floating around. Be sure your at room temp and shake up the syringe b4 inoc. I use to grow teachers all the time along with B+, PF classics and Z-Strain. Now I use straight Z due to their fast colonization period. Some ppl argue they are not as intense a trip, but I beg to differ if you grow them huge and organically!
