Edited - Ammonia Smell - Do I throw it out or see what happens?
    #6395243 - 12/21/06 09:01 PM (17 years, 3 months ago)

I smelled ammonia in one of two fully-colonized, nice white quart jars of organic wheat berries. I don't think the smell was in the middle of the grains, or not nearly as much as on top. I mixed it in into coir in a small first attempt at a monotub. Should I discard the whole thing, and after smelling it should I get my affairs in order and pay my life-insurance premium?  :confused:  :wink:

Probably just bacteria. It won't hurt you. If it was hard to get out of the jar, it would confirm bacteria. It makes the grains stick together like rubber.

I was able to get them out with a few bangs and then I broke them up with a spoon. Should I wait and see if the myc overtakes the contams? If the smell is not dectectable when it colonizes, is it ok?
