Wierd whit specks on popcorn????
    #4755399 - 10/04/05 05:36 PM (18 years, 5 months ago)

ok, i checked my popcorn jar which I inoculated like 2-3 days ago, i forget :P
it hasn't shown any signs until tonight, and this doesn't look like mycelium.
I wish my cam wasnt broken.
It basically looks like little white specks almost everywhere on the popcorn, some spots heavier than others, but no specks on the bottom. the bottom has a teeny weeny bit of excess water and the heat is coming from below the jars. This is what makes me think its the VERY first signs of germination and i cought it at an odd time. but on the other hand, this would be the first time the spores form that syringe would be germinating, i though they were dead but gave it a last shot.
then again, i did shake vigourously and make sure some spores were on the side of the jar so i could see growth...
does anybody have any pics of this stuff colonizing?
are there any white contams besides cobweb? maybe ill know in a few days time...
man am i confused right now....
BTW, like 75% of the cournels are split (can this cause problems?), the temp ranges from 80-85 degrees, sometimes a bit less, sometimes a bit higher, and the corn is in a 'pf tek for simple minds' style jar.

motherfucker!!
it must be a contam because my other jar of popcorn THAT ISN'T inoculated has the same thing!
well, the one that isn't inoculated actually has bigger white spots that are more spread out.
some one PLEASE HELP ME!
im soaking more popcorn right now, so if there are any improvements i could make in the process, please tell me.
i soak for about 24 hours with the bowl (container popcorn) on top of my grow light for plants in my room, where the water stays very warm for the time of it being on. I then strain and rinse, load into jars and pc at 15 psi for a minimum of 60 minutes, usually around 70 minutes or so.
what am i doing wrong??
and when i do wbs jars, i dont even soak, i just use the same ratios for brf cakes (2parts verm, 1part water, 1part wbs) and that works fine, ive had jars sitting in my room not inoculated for a week and still no contams, which means i was damn sterile about everything!
gerrrrrr....

so why on earth is my corn contaminated????
my wbs jars are fine...
and does the green mold set in EVERYWHERE? on the substrate?
damn, i need to come up with something that'll fix my problem...
maybe 2 soaking sessions, each 24 hours with two rinses in between?
or will this overhydrate the corn? (i know corn is a poor absorber, but im just asking)
