This is the most colonized ive had a cake at least after a week, for both i used an oven to steralise. 4 cakes in total. 30m at 140c then 2h 30m at 115c. When they came out they looked dry so i filled a old spore syringe with alcohol emptied it then sucked up boiling water and injected about 8 cc around the jar. I did this with two of the 4 jars and those two jars hace colonised the fastest. So in conclusion if a cake seems a little dry then its okay to add streralised water before innoculation however it seems to have grown better where i added the water. Next time im going to dry add extra water the cakes before going in the oven. Im using the oven because I dont have large enough pots to steam and don't have a pressure cooker. I tired twice before the oven using a pot to no avail therefore i will continue to use the oven method

View MoreSo 3 of my 4 new cakes are colonizing without contamination thjs is my first successful mycelium growth, as its a hot day today i placed the jars in a clear box wrapped in a black tarp on my window ledge to help raise the temperature. In hopes kf speeding up colonization anyone think that this could damage the mycelium please speak up
Checked in on my cakes before all 5 are contaminated, shit sucks
