possible contam problem
    #14454849 - 05/15/11 04:38 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Ok, heres the deal. I did a bulk grow I did G2G transfer from quart jars to spawn bags. I prepared the spawn bags with up to 10 pounds of grain per bag. They turned out great. After I did the G2G transfer they colonized extremely quick, I let them consolidate for at least a week. They are fully formed with mycelium all of the way through. I made up a ton of my bulk coir/verm spawn bags today breaking up the blocks of WBS spawn inside the bag.

Heres the problem.... I sealed the spawn bags with duct tape. After I did all of my coir/verm bags I looked at the tops of the bag the part where the duct tape was that I had cut off and their were a few pieces of birdseed that were blackish green. It looked like a possible mold contam.

what are the odds that im gonna have a loss of all of my coir/verm bags?

Is their any chance that the Myc could overtake the contam?

It makes me sick to my stomach that my project could be fucked. I cant sleep.

I think the myc would overtake any contam at this point, JMO
Good Luck

it just depends on what contaminant it is. If it's trichoderma, it's ruined. Overall, it don't sound good but a picture is worth a thousand words, got one?

Here:
This is what the contam looks like. This is really all there is.



And this is what the bags looked like:

I'm not the leading expert, but it looks to me like penicillium. It's not as bad trichoderma. In my best opinion, the little spot(that's bare) on a lot of your grains is an infection also. Maybe the same and maybe another. If I were you, I would spawn it only 1:1 and you will probably get 1 flush before it starts turning green. All I am saying is that if you spawn it with a high ratio, it will prob. infect before it is fully colonized:shrug:Sometimes you have to cut your loses and get what you can get
