Didn't sterilize right after putting substrate in jars (PF Tek)
    #13036677 - 08/11/10 01:53 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

So while I was mixing up the verm and BRF I noticed I didn't have masking tape for the holes, so I just didn't make holes, threw everything in the jars, and waited to sterilize when I could poke holes in it.

Well, I waited two days and I just finally got masking tape. Pulling the jars out and lo and behold, they have a little mycelium in them, about half of my jars are growing fungus and none have been inoculated!

Obviously this isn't what I want in my jars. Will I have to completely empty them, or will a boiling sterilization work? By the way its all white, not green or anything (is trichoderm white in its early stages?)

Should I throw them all out, or just the ones that have visible growth?

Dump them all, wash the jars well. No point in taking the risk, you there's at least some contamination.
