Contams in my 95% fully colonized jars!?!!! WHAT!!!?!
    #7323003 - 08/22/07 07:40 PM (16 years, 7 months ago)

Okay, so my jars are pretty much done colonizing (I only have 4 cause sadly I lost SIX of them to contams earlier on) and I just found contams on 2 more... but it's just a tiny tiny bit. So I thought that maybe I could just birth those 2 now, and take the mold off with a spoon or something??? Any thoughts or advice? I really want to save them if I can!

you can try. pics would help. if its mold spores u see other than myc that means its got a foot hold of some substrate and is reproducing so id toss it if u have clean batches but if not cut a generous portion off because some molds are the same color, white like mycelium.

I'd say it's light greenish blue mold ?!?!?! I thought maybe I could put them in their own little containers far far away from the 2 good ones.

ewwww yah dude you did something wrong when you put in the verm at the top.. did you wipe around the edges befor dropping it in there? That really blows dude, I'd plant it outside in some nice soil - maybe with cow poo in it? That's the only way you'll get anything from it probably.

Also, it's only in that one spot. There's a book that reflected a greenish color onto the jar on the side.

Dont take my word for it im a noob but iread that some molds need light to grow ,maybe put them in complete darkness for a few days and maybe the mycelium will fight it off i mean it should be strong enough at this point ,but do your homework just in case.

I've never heard a success story from someone doing that. Toss it, jar and all. Don't even open it unless you want to contaminate your whole house with countless mold spores.

What I always say is toss em if there's any contams visible, or if you think there may be. Contaminates can prove to be very mean and bad. That's just me of course, in which case I'm 120% paranoid about contaminates and my well being.

You might see just a small speck on the outside but have it throughout the middle.

Hmmmmmm...
I don't know how bad you want to save this but I'd be tempted to birth it outside and burn the spot off with a torch...then bury it or give it a 2 liter bottle to live in in the shed.
Perhaps cut it up and case the pieces that look good?
good luck man just don't open it in your house.
Safest bet is boil it dead and save the jar.

Yes, i agree. Even though you can only see a small spot, there is a very good chance the entire middle of that cake is contamed. If you are seeing green, it's too late. Toss it and take it as a small loss.

If the rest of your cakes already contamed, you may want to look closely as your procedures, you must be getting a little sloppy somewhere along the line. You using a glovebox or anything when you inoculated? Using spores or a liquid culture?
