Blue Meanies...Is this normal?
    #9377688 - 12/06/08 08:23 AM (15 years, 3 months ago)

Ok I have had these jars growing for a few weeks and these are all about 100% colonized, but i dont know if the myc is supposed to look this way?
the strain is blue meanie, and im sure its prob normal for the strain, just wondering cause my other strains dont look like these do.


these are the BM are they supposed to be so...vein like. no strange colors or smells in the jars just look very veiny

this is one of my other jars for comparison.

Also the BM jars are sweating a lot inside, is this normal. i did a search and i couldn't find much info besides whether they were cubes or not.

That first jar has some crazy good growth. That's just super thick myc growth. That most likely will be the best jar out of the bunch! My PE monotub has growth like that along the sides. It looks like nothing to worry about! Some people isolate growth like that because it's very desirable strong growth. It's just rizo growth.

I'd personally say the top two look better than the bottom one. My PE jars that had that kind of growth too. It took just a little bit longer to grow than the rest but they ended up looking way nicer.

The pics make them look alot whiter than they are especially the top one. they are white just not as bright

*also note that the top 2 are BM and the bottom one is an unknown strain.

Yeah the top 2 have taken forever to get to this point :mad2: in fact the rest of them are prob only a little over 75%. I made an TIT(tub-in-tub) and they have been doing a bit better I think.

Also, if the jars look like that all the way around with no gaps, are they fully colonized even though they are not bright bright white?

I still think it looks fine. I bet it's not 100% colonized to it's fullest. Just chill out you'll be fine. Put them away for a few days and forget about them. Nothing looks wrong.

Also two different strains will look different. If they produce no weird smells, they have no strange spots or discoloration, and if they are continuously colonizing you're golden.

That's rhizomorphic mycelium, which is a great thing to have. :thumbup:
