Hey guys a started a jar of popcorn as an experiment. Well, it didn't turn out good. there is lots of contamination. there's green and some pink/red contams. hear are some pictures

anyways is there anyway I can still get some fruits out of this. can I put it in a FC or can I start an outdoor grow. Obviously my goal is not to get a large amount if I got 3 fruits of this thing I would be happy. I just want to know if its possible and also what you would do personally? I live in Washington state so would an outdoor grow be possible right now. I don't live by Seattle where it rains all the time. It barley rains and its about 70-80 during the day.

You could try burying it outside somewhere shady. But I wouldn't fruit it. It would just contaminate whatever FC you put it into. Sorry for your loss!

Once you get contams, your basically back to square 1. You might get something out of it if you dump it in the compost bin, but NEVER open a contaminated jar inside, it will haunt you on your future attempts at cultivation.

if anything I bury it in the ground or put it in a flower bed or something like that and hopefully it lasts the winter and maybe you'll have some mushrooms next year but it's unlikely. I've tried before when I had contaminated jars and nothing ever happens, but that's not to say that it can't

I'm telling you man !! Toss it . You do not want contam any where near your home . I bleach soak all contaminated jars outside then pressure cook them outside with a portable gas burner !!

Popcorn is the shiftiest grain ever! to use for cultivation.
Get yourself a bag of W.B.S (Corn free) or rye grain.
You will have a much higher chance of success, I tried popcorn once before, always ended up with pooling water no matter how well I drained it.

You don't even need to kill the mold spores, just need to remove them. Soap and water

I PC any contaminated jars as well. I am not sure about having to do it outside. Seems like if your filter and lid set up was correct and you just made a blunder during a transfer, the filter would keep the contamination spores contained.
Oh and TOSS IT. Get use to the idea of sacrificing one to save many. You do not want to drag those sticky ass green mold spores into your grow area. You will be at war then.

ok so after all the advice I decided to toss it im starting again. I opened it yesterday and sniffed and it didn't smell like cubes at all. I think it got contaminated because I had a bad lc so Im started a new honey lc and will see how it turns out, next time i'm gonna test my lc first haha

You really have to limit how much inoculant you're using with popcorn. It doesn't seem to soak up the extra water very well.
