1st Timer...Need Advice Please!!!
    #15764327 - 02/05/12 01:09 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I'm 1 week into incubation with these jars.  They consist of Brown Rice Flour, Vermiculite, Worm casings, and Bee Pollen (part of a kit I bought).  The spores syringe I used was "Thai Tanic."  Do these look normal so far?  I'm worried about the blackness...it looks worse in the pictures than in real life, but I would still love any advice...thanks in advance!!!

Contamination is pretty much the only thing that would create black spots on a colonizing pf cake.

Also, I should point out that you are supposed to take the foil off after you sterilize them, not that the foil was the cause of your contamination or anything.

All 9 of my jars show the same symptoms.  There were already black specks/pieces in the jar mixture that was pre-made (you can see it at the bottom of the jar in the 1st picture), so I'm not sure if it's just pieces of ingredient that mixed in with the growth.  I'd hate to toss them and start over.  Any harm in waiting to see what develops or should I just dump them now?  Thanks again for the help...

I didn't realize the black was already there when you got the jar. I've never seen anyone add worm castings or bee pollen to a brf jar, maybe that's what it is. If the black grows at all though I would toss them.
