LC : Particles but no wisps
    #11008277 - 09/06/09 08:05 AM (15 years, 4 months ago)

I made my first LC 6 days ago using a Hawaiian syringe I bought, and the Lazy Karo tek. I have been keeping the culture in a lunch box in a warm place.

Through the week I have seen no wispy strands developing ( I thought I saw one, but it seems to have disappeared). Instead there is lots of particulate matter, and the solution bubbles with the slightest movement. The particles look like little bit of myc (like mini spore prints).

I would provide a pic, but considering the solution is in tupper ware, and the particles are difficult to see by eye, I doubt I could get a clear shot.

Is the absence wispy strands normal? Are the particulates signs of contam?

It happens - I find that if I shake my LC's occasionally, they form these "snowballs" instead of wisps.

all mine have looked like that.  I think the "wisps" are just higher concentrations, as all i have are the tiny floating dots, but theres still alott of em. 

I havnt had a problem with it though

Considering they are not white (more grey or black), I am not sure I would call them snowballs...Coupled with the fact that I have not been shaking the LC and I became a little concerned..

floating dots is a good way to describe them, and there is a lot of them :smile:

Could be good, could be bad. Shoot a test jar, it's the only way to tell. I like to wait 2-3 weeks if I'm starting from spores.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?
