contams after a month
    #14012041 - 02/23/11 05:38 AM (13 years, 10 days ago)

so this is my first post here

i just started this hobby, so please be gentle with me :wink:

i did 6 pint jars with pollyfil and rye, cloned some fruits from the box( after a short soak in peroxide) and all of them where colonising great for about a month, then green started showing in the little shallow thing on the rye, they got tossed

did the same thing again 3 rye and 3 popcorn, and now after a month the rye started to go green again in the same spot again, corn is still fine , but abit slower colonising

so my questions are, does the contam come from the rye itself or from me not pc'ing them enough ? i tried to follow sterile procedure in a glove box spryed down with disinfectant

Do another run.  This time, PC a jar that you don't do anything with except watch.

If all the other jars contaminate, it's your inoculum.  If that jar contaminates, it's because you're not getting full sterilization.

As a side note, it's almost certain that the cloning/transfer is the problem.  Mold is easily killed by heat.  If it were a bacterial infection, it would be more likely that sterilization was the problem.
