Here is some pics of my manure. It was sold as fresh but it smells like dirt. Also do I have to use only the nuggets or can I use the crushed up poo too?
ANC wtf are you at? I got this manure sold as fresh last week. I put it on the side of my house all week and hosed it down. It is not dry all the way but it smells like dirt. I want to pasteurize today but I need that 2nd opinion. If anyone else knows there doo doo feel free to drop an answer. Thanks! p.s the pics are 2 posts up.

Thanks jg for the positive response. I just worked my ass off mixing all that shit up in the bucket. It damn near filled the 5 gallon bucket to the top. I did not think it would be that much. It's pasteurizing right now so this time tomorrow it should be ready to tub up.

ANC if you wake up from your coma please respond to my questions. I have one more too. When I am doing my tubs do I have to hurry up and mix my jars with my bulk substrate to avoid contams or can I take my time and layer it out evenly? Thanks and I hope your o.k.

Don't stress too much. just make as many thin layers of pooh and corn as you can, remember to drain the pooh well, you may need to squeeze out some water. You don't want water dripping out if you squeeeze a fist full of the stuff. Try and make layers as even as possible. Close it up, write the date of 14 days from now on the tub and store it in the dark.

What's up man? I was about to send the search team to afrika to find you. Thanks for responding. I also need to know what size pieces do I break my mycelium into. You are saying I can take my time to layer it too right? Sorry for all the questions but I have just put too much work and time to fuck it up now ya know?

o.k so just put some hand sanitizer on my hands and crush it up with my hands into as small of pieces as I can get it? Did you wait a whole 24 hours to pasteurize? If so I got 2 more hours.

Hey that shit was way too wet. I had to squeeze the shit out of every hand full! I did not need all of the mix tho or it would have been way too much and I followed that tek to the t. Its in the closet at the same temp that I colonized in.

I would love to see updated pictures of your grow!

Mine still need some colonization... I'm getting real impatient which I shouldn't be! But, its going to be a month this sunday since they been incubating... I guess verm/ brf method is not such a great choice for fast colonization. I can't wait to do the mycelium water method. The more spore syringes, the better ;)

Lol, I'm still waiting for the tub I took out of the cupboard on the 14 to start pinning, its eaten up two vermiculite casing layers allready... Transkei strain is an overlaying bitch if you let it do its own thing.
But its the most awesome strain to grow, the pins are little mini shrooms right from the get go.

I've had slow jars before, my guess in your case was too high moisture content... it realy slows down shit.
