First grow, first fail
    #14322939 - 04/20/11 12:59 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

So.... My 1/2 pint jars took over 2 months and still had not colonized the entire jar.  It appeared to be doing nothing at all.  I was letting them get air, I tried watering them with a sterilized syringe(flamed the tip, boiled the water, let it cool).  I got impatient, a mistake I will not make again!  I decided to put them in the fruiting chamber to finish colonizing, after first giving them a cold water bath(boiled it, let it cool, dunked them).  Within 3 days, this happened.









Now I know what I did was stupid, but does anyone know what specifically might have caused a reaction like this?  Its pretty damn peculiar if you ask me.


And happy 4/20 everyone!

SOMEBODY KILL IT!

Looks like you did not follow proper sterile procedure when inoculating,
that or the syringe you used had contaminates.

Seeing ass all your cakes contaminated with many different things I
would say a combination of both?

You are going to want to dispose of that right away. Chances are it
is already to late and you have spread contaminate spores all over
yourself, your grow area and your house. You should have tossed them at
the first signs of contamination.

Birthing cakes before they're fully colonized is very risky. Obviously

well can't grow in that house again. I hope those pics where taken outside as the amount of mold you just spewed into you grow area is quite a bit. Toss everything them repaint maybe?

Looks like its outside on the deck? Good job for at least taking it outside but you should have just left it sealed then burned it with a low yield nuclear weapon.

:uhoh:

I would get a gallon of gasoline , pour it inside the tub and all over the cakes, then drop a match in the tub to make a sterile funeral pyre.

Of course, then there's the problem of eating vermiculite. On the bright side, it makes your poop and teeth glitter.  Just pretend it's christmas.

OP:

Try not to be discouraged, toss everything, bleach bomb everything and
back to the drawing board.

There's no way in hell that happened within 3 days.  When you get a new house, try again, but follow proper procedures next time.  1/2 pint BRF jars should fully colonize in 2 to 3 weeks.  If they don't, you did something wrong so don't try to 'save' them.  That mess should have been trash can tek'd a week or two ago.
