Yellow snot?
    #10336131 - 05/14/09 02:20 AM (14 years, 10 months ago)

I'm doing some PF jars and a few of them have gotten some weird yellow stuff. It looks like yellow snot, almost. I was thinking metabolites, but honestly the junk showed up before I ever saw myc growth. I guess I could have injected the spores more towards the inside of the jar...lemme see if I can get a picture up, but in the mean time does this sound like an infection to anyone?

Sorry, crappy phone pics...

I'm pretty sure they're gone...I'm really only letting 'em grow because I'm curious if they could take the jars back or not....

That doesn't even look like brf.  It looks like mud.  I'd start over with the proper jars and the proper mix next time.

Yeah, that looks way too wet. Did you use RR's video as a guide?

I've been working on my technique, these are only my second batch of jars. I've got another batch of B+ that's colonized most of the way over but seems to be having trouble with compressed material at the bottom of the jar. I flipped em over but they're still growing REAAAALLY slow except for one or three or so that have reached the bottom of the jar. I was worried maybe my mix was too moist, as I used a good chunk of finer verm in the 1st and 2nd batches.

The 3rd batch is some Texas strain, and I assure you those are no where near as clumped up and they're growing pretty nicely. I'm assuming there's too much moisture in those jars? Like I said, my Texas jars look pretty damn good IMHO, but I'm curious whether it's better to err on the side of too much water or too little?

I did use RR's video as a guide (thanks again for making that avaliable to us newbies at no charge, I'm planning on purchasing the DVD as soon as I get funds) but like I said, I think I used waaaay too much water in the 1st two batches.

Thanks for the input guys!

Definitely err on the side of too little water. I use this ratio:
2 parts verm: 1 part BRF: 1 part water

You don't want any visible pooling, like you probably have in your jar

You can put the jars in a pot of boiling water for 30 minutes to kill everything before you dump out the substrate
