Please tell me this isn't a contam.

Is this? It basically formed in a matter of 5 hours or so. I was trying to initiate pinning. There is a potential pin in the bottom of the discolorment however I don't know what the discolorment is.

You can't see the picture? Or need a better one?

looks nasty, but bad picture

you can smell the jar on the outside, if it smells sweet/sour/rotten/moldy outside the jar it is bad/contamed

if no smell, we need a better pic to decide

Not really a smell, smells the same as the other jars, like a verm. fresh smell. Some of my other jars have some offwhite blotches on outside edge of the jars but maybe it is just mycelium growth. Here is a better picture, I hope. This is my first time so I am unsure about how it should smell.



Edit: if it isn't quality enough I can take a better pic later tonight.

still bad picture

could be uncolonized, or could be contam

give it another week, if it still looks like that it is probably contamed

you want 100% colonization before birthing

else toss the jars if they don't colonize 100%

Dang alright. I would've figured contams would've poked there heads out earlier in the colonization than after the jar is fully colonized. I'll keep track of it and if that darker spot turns out to be a pin i'll probably keep the jar.

The picture is pretty unclear, but it looks like it could be a pinner trying to form and squishing up against the glass or myc piss(metabolites).

like everyone else has said, those pictures are terribly unfocused.

Could just be metabolites, though, how long has the jar been fully colonized?

And what do you mean by saying you were trying to initiate pinning? It's still in the jar, you need to fruit that bad boy before initiating pinning.

It's been fully colonized for probably a week. On the forums I was reading about people having pinning in their jars before birthing. So I put a few of my fully colonized jars in a little bit of light.

I've had some fucked up looking shit that looked literally exactly like that & was very easily mistaken for contams, but once I birthed them & put them in the FC they took off & started growing like crazy. Looks like a combo of a squished pinner, metabolites, and most likely a little blue/green bruising from the pinner getting squished. I'd birth it & put it in the FC. At the very least expose them to light & loosen your jar lids a bit.

I had a jar that clearly had brown mold on it, but let it colonize and I fruited it in a PMP and got a few nice fruits, I tossed it after harvest.. Whatever that is, it WILL fruit, just cut off that contam.

I wouldn't pull it out & start cutting away until you make sure it's not a contam. Maybe birth it and post another clearer pic of the supposedly contaminated area. It'd suck to cut away at & damage a perfectly normal cake for no reason. If it starts spreading or is identified as a contam I agree, but identify the problem area first.

Mycelium benefits, at all stages of growth, from ambient lighting. You shouldn't ever keep your jars in complete darkness, ever.

If they have been fully colonized for a week, I'd say it's time you cracked em open, give them a good smell, if they smell earthy/like mushrooms, dunk and roll then birth them into your fruiting chamber. Odds are, you just have some metabolites/bruising

If they are BRF jars, that is probably just the verm layer above the myc.

It's hard to tell what anything is in those jenky ass picture, though.

If OP could take a decent pic, a decent assessment would be in order.
