Yellowish arcing . . . . CONTAM?
    #10607421 - 07/02/09 01:10 AM (15 years, 6 months ago)

Whats up yall this is my first post! :smile: so ive recently started on my first grow, and colonized 4 pint sized jars of Tasmanian P Cubensis from "Lil Shop of Spores" using the BRF Tek. I did everything textbook to the t, I even stopped myself as I was about to light my hands on fire!
Heres how things went with the colonization.
  First week all four went really slowly, so at about the 1 1/2 to 2 week marker I took off the porous medical tape I was using and untightened the lids slighly.
  One of the jars was still stalled so at around 3 1/2 weeks I went ahead and took the lid off, replacing it with aluminum foil (still has the dry verm layer on top to protect from contams).
  It is now WEEK 5. Got around 90%+ colonization on the three non stalled jars, and about 35-40% on the stalled one.

Here's my problem: Two jars, one being the stalled one I switched lids on, both have this weird stuff in it! These yellowish brown arcs have popped up here and there, could barely notice them 4-5 days ago but now they're obviously contams of some sort. I looked at the contam FAQ and can't figure out what it is! I think it might be cinnamon mold because it matches the description, but they say that grows on wood. . . . Any help with identifying these contams, or if they are contams at all? I have no idea this is my first time!! Attached are some pics, thanks for the help PEACE

sorry for the crappy cell phone pics btw, and also, that dark discoloration that covers some of the jars is just my shadow

@ week 5, with that much yellowish stuff, and without full colonization, you probably have a contam, probably bacteria (does it smell?)

Next time, leave on the lids and micropore tape

The ones that are almost fully colonized, might be salvageable. rinse off the uncolonized parts under the sink.

My guess would be metabolites, but you need to post better pics.
