| | Muse | ] | Here are my babies as of 22 Aug 04. I have turned all but one of the jars upside-down. The reason that I haven't turned jar B upside down is that it is still only about 50% colonized. The dry layer of verm at the top is a bit loose, and it falls away from the uncolonized material if I try to invert it, which could leave to a contam.
Jar A:

Jar B:

 This jar is actually starting to show signs of growth on the bottom.
Jar C:

Jar D:

Jar E:
 (I love this one)
Jar F:

Ok, I need some advice now. I'm not 100% sure about what to do next. Should I dunk the jars before I birth them? And should I put them in the fridge for a while?
At the moment, I'm thinking of leaveing them for like 3 days after they're colonized fully. Then I will take out the dry verm, and fill the jars (with the cakes still in them) with bottled water. I will leave the jars in the fridge for 12 hours before draining the water out. Then I will put the cakes on saucers and put them in my terrarium. If there is anything wrong with this could someone please tell me before I fuck it up?
Today I am gonna re-sterilize my terrarium. |

| | AFI - God Called in Sick Today | ] | Last night I went out to Maidenhead. It was pretty good actually. I met up with Cable, Matt and Will at my yard, and we got a taxi into Maidenhead. First we went to Weatherspoons and had some cheap beer. After a couple of pints, we met up with this Amanda bird and went to the Toad. I got pretty pissed (considering I only took like £25 with me) and danced like a bitch. In the middle of the evening, they played some trancey songs which were well good. Me and Cable left early and got a train back. We walked back to my yard and smoked a cigar.
This morning I felt a bit shitty but not too bad. I'm just chillin' out now. |
