Update on my First grow and possible contamination
    #16200348 - 05/08/12 03:35 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

So It has been 5 days since I inoculated 5 jars using Pf brf tek and I am seeing signs of healthy Mycelium. They have been chilling up in a cabinet over my fridge all cozy from the heat being dissipated from the refrigerator.

Ok so 3 out of 5 jars seem pretty normal to me but there are two little fuckers who might be hanging out with the wrong crowd. I hope that these little brown spots are just soot marks from when I inoculated but that may be wishful thinking. take a look and tell me what you guys think.


One of the jars that has the possible contamination in it has a sketchy vermiculite to brf ratio to it. I ran out of the original mixture I made filling up the first four jars so I just eyeballed a single jar serving of verm and brf to put in it. Obviously I put too much vermiculite and not enough brf. Thats why this jar looks different .

That is a nasty little brown stain...a skid mark if you will. It doesn't look good. Keep an eye on it and if it grows, toss the jar, if it dont grow and your jars fully colonize, when you open it take a big o whiff and see how it smells. If it smells like healthy myc you should be good, if it smells sweet and/or like feet, toss it. But im no expert, so wait for a few more opinions.:cheers:

Yea I used a benz-o matic torch to heat the needle until red hot. I have pictures of my whole set up in my journal. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I checked the jars again and the brown spots seem to not be growing. The have been the same size since I noticed them about 4 to 5 days ago. I just dont know wether I should chunk em or not. I am really starting to think they are soot marks or something weird that is not mold or bacteria growing.
