Myc can be thin or think, fuzzy or strands, white or gray.  You are probably doing fine, but you need to post pics if you want confirmation.

Contams usually show up in the first two weeks.

ecuadors a good strain.

ive had 30+ per flush (6qt shoebox's) and i seem to be getting a lot of that are more than a foot tall as wide as a baseball around the cap. they dry out to 4+ grams per boomer.

why would you by jars sterlized when you have to pc them anyways. save yourself the buck and go to a garage sale or flea market and get all the pint size and quart size you can find.

as far as substrate go my ecuadors love rye-grass seed (not rye berries) its cheap and easy. dont get much better than no-soak and a quick pc :P

Natural Organic Brown Rice Flour
Vermiculite with Mineral Water
Worm Castings
Bee Pollen (Nature's Super-Nutrient)

looks like exactly what I got, and what I got isn't troll hair/cobweb mold. So I think you're fine.
But that's just my opinion.

It's hard to tell from those pics, but unless it turns funky colors you are probably fine.

when it comes for time to use new substrate try out

rye grass seed from meijers or ace or any general/home improvment store

and fill up your quart jars 1 1/4 rye 5/8 water (2 to 1 part pretty much)
pc as you would normally and continue from there

it works way easier, faster, and cheaper i think in the long run. its a good bulk technique too.

although ive never had too many problems with brf, i still find rye way easier.

this is of course for your next grow at least. ecuadors love em!

Post it in contamination forum just to be safe.

Is rye grass seed cheaper than rye berries (same thing, I'm assuming)?  And is it just as safe to use contam wise?  Seems like it would be way cheaper to get rye "seed" than rye "berries"

First of all, if theyre selling you jars, they are ripping you off.
The content of those jars is not what Id call "properly prepared"
and the "company" is most likely a schwag company trying to pick dollars from new growers who are gullible.

If you are going to do jars, do them yourself.

I have no idea John, because as far as I know this thread concerns pre-bought BRF jars and not Rye this or that.

I am no expert on contamination either. But welcome anyway, take a look at mr. IbuymyBRFjarsonline here:)

It cannot be, or cant it be, thus are the questions.

Myecelium SHOULD BE white in colour, never gray.

Contaminations usually show up faster than most mycelium growth, spreads more rapid and can be seen within one week. Common ones are trichoderma, cobweb and others.

First rule of thumb, dont ever assume or "propablybbyly" say something is fine, rather ask for pictures and post them in the contamination forum.
