Possible LC Contam (Pics)
    #18776983 - 08/30/13 11:29 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hello everyone! First post, been around for a while, blah, blah. Anyways, I started with a freshly PC'd LC jar, and now I have this. (This was an LC-to-LC innoc)



^^ Can't seem to capture it with the camera but there are small white hairs reaching up off of the surface of the liquid.





Even after just a few minutes after shaking, little white hairs can be seen sticking out of the water. It doesn't smell or anything. Is this some myc trying to reach the sky or simply a contam? Most of the material seems to be the same brownish little specks that have been there the entire time. There is also white material growing mixed throughout it. I have searched the forum and haven't found anything similar to my situation with the white hairs growing on top.

I can noc up a jar if no one is familiar with this situation.

Thanks in advance and nice to meet yall!

Someone made a very similar question to yours just >15 hours ago, I recommend your read up on grain LC. It's convenient mostly because you can't tell if a liquid is contaminated until you test on agar or another medium. In GLC you can see the grains and if they are contaminated or not before you put the mycelium in the distilled water.

Now do this guy a favour and tell him the same thing.

Happy growing mang! Use the search engine, this place is full of weird awesome tutorials, information and all other types of stuff.

LC is not able to be identified as clean without testing it on a jar first.

It is sort of similar but I think he is referring to mycelium floating in the jar, which is normal. My deal is white hairs growing off of the surface of the liquid, straight up into the air. I will definitely read up on grain LC. I know that you can't tell clean myc from contam in an LC. But in this case, there are small white hairs growing out of the top. I was thinking this is a big contam signal, but the knowledge here is much greater than mine. Does LC myc ever grow quickly into the air as noticable hairs? (Less than 7 days in jar).

Thanks again and good vibes to you all!

Hard to tell judging by the pics. Wait a couple of days and see if those hairs change color. It could be already doomed but i think this is a "wait and see" scenario.

Cheers,
