Look Ma, I found contams!
    #16768159 - 08/31/12 09:01 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

Ok, I know the first jar is obviously contaminated,






But what about this one? I found this today, and most of the jar looks nice and white, except for the bottom, which is starting to get a yellow tinge. Is that just rye berry water with mycelum, or is that a contam? Im guessing a contam and I should toss it in the PC with the gnarly looking first jar, lol. Anyone?

I vote for myc piss on the bottom two as well.  How long have they been fully colonized for?  Any idea why the first contaminated?

Well I have all different times, I think the date on those is around 6 days on the yellow bottom on, and around 3 on the black mold one. the black mold one is already locked into the PC, when i get another one or two ill PC them, sterilize and kill the mold, and toss outside, and clean the jars thoroughly. Im constantly working to improve things, but it appears that until then, i will have occasional contams. If you include both of these jars as contams, im running at 5 contams for the past 100 jars, so im shooting a 95% success rate...so far. Im a little wonky on that yellow piss juice at the bottom of my jar, but ill keep an eye on it for a couple few more days before deciding what to do, but most likely will be tossed.

My most recent jars I made up im using a tyvek filter over the metal lid with 2 holes in it, instead of the tin foil. Like I said, im learning and improving as I go till I get a really good process and set up dialed in.

Make badass lids.  Use SFD's and a healable injection port.  No tin foil ever needed.  No contamination from the environment if you PC properly.  Eliminating variables is the name of the game.

Feel free to toss the myc piss ones.  Better safe than sorry, though I think they are fine.  Bury them somewhere shady and humid; environment depending you might get some nice fruits!

If you have plenty of spawn sitting around maybe toss it (bottom one) although personally i've never seen metabolites as a sign of anything other than the jar is ready (perhaps a bit past ready) to spawn
