Not sure if the genetics are dying or slow, I'm at 15 days post-inoculation of grain, and it's moving slower than any other variant I've ever grown. Like slower than my APE grain jars that were inoculated from spore syringes at the same time... Humidity & temp controlled enclosure, I've been growing for years; I am familiar with how to colonize grains.
I'll hold off another 2 weeks, but this is definitely the slowest growing LC I've ever used, ever. Not gonna dog it at 1 star as I haven't completed the grow. I've had goldmember before and they are wonderfully potent & happy cubes. Hoping it all pans out over the next 2 weeks. Being at 20% colonization after 15 days in perfect environmental conditions worries me.

Chose Goldmember LC after hearing rave reviews from friends. Chose Planetspores after hearing rave reviews over @ the Shroomery forums.

Like slower than my APE grain jars that were inoculated from spore syringes at the same time... Humidity & temp controlled enclosure, I've been growing for years; I am familiar with how to colonize grains. Flow hood, still air box, the works. I have it all in a homebrewed lab I've been building. I used 3mL of LC per 1lb bag of rye/grain spawn same as I always have.

Bonus star for stupid fast shipping, excellent updates along the way, packaging was perfect. Substrate looks at field capacity, though the grains were bone dry, almost too dry. I didn't bother adding moisture to the grains before injection assuming the guys who packaged this know their stuff.

Great service as always, Amazing products. Blue meanie in pic , day 4 in monotub with casing layer

Looks like a syringe full of healthy spores, introduced to agar and great start to mycelium with no contamination

The spawn looks great. Force some air into the bag through the filter patch and break the spawn up, dispersing the mycelium evenly throughout the bag. This will speed colonization up.
More familiar with Walmart WBS & sterilizing into jars myself, for the price I decided to give this a go. First time inoculating grain spawn in a bag. It seemed more dry than I’m used to, or prefer. Mycelium is growing in it, though I’m unsure if it’s the genetics of the LC I chose, or the conditions of the grain spawn in the bag. I’m 14 days in with only about 20% colonization from an LC syringe. I’ve had spore syringes colonize faster..

Grain spawn is hydrated at 45%, anymore than this and you start to run into too many burst grains. The spawn looks great. Force some air into the bag through the filter patch and break the spawn up, dispersing the mycelium evenly throughout the bag. This will speed colonization up.

Clean, shipped @ field capacity. Ready to go.
Thanks for your review.

Always works amazingly,the best period.
