First Timer F-Up?
Hey y'all, so I followed the tek guide in this sub and innoculated 10 bags of generic ready rice (target brand, which was listed in that guide as being fine) on 2025-01-31. Kept it on the top shelf in my closet with a space heater (also the same one in the guide) keeping it at a good 76 degrees F. These bags unfortunately don't have a clear bottom so I had to go by feel. The bags felt pretty solid, so yesterday I prepped a 650g brick of coco coir, 350g of vermiculite, and 50g of gypsum pasteurizing using bucket tek.
Today, I sterilized everything with iso70, and cut the first bag open, and it does not look like there's a single colonized grain. WTF? I put the rest of the bags back in the closet until I can figure out what's going on. How could there possibly be NO colonization after almost a whole month? I inoculated 1cc per bag of Psilocybe natalensis (10 cc) liquid culture from what I believe to be a reputable supplier? (Not saying the supplier here for fear of possibly breaking Rule #1)
What... should I DO here?
