Contaminated Grow. How to sterilize jars w/o PC for BRF TEK?
    #18814681 - 09/08/13 10:56 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I had a contaminated grow. I want to reuse the jars but dont have a PC. I do BRF. How do I make sure the jars are sterile after I dump the infected contents? Boil? Steam them empty? Diswasher? Alcohol?

Without a PC I wouldn't open them. That's just me :shrug:

You can be courageous and find some creative way to open them, but at risk of releasing the fury of the mold!

All of the above. Make sure you dump it outside with a hazmat suit on then throw the suit away before coming back to your grow area :laugh:

Or you could just use a disposable poncho or wear a trash bag. A hazmat suit is cooler though

I agree with Pete though. I would just trash it. It is just a jar man :shrug:

It wasn't mold. It just didn't colonize. Has a dark spot and smells weird if that matters.

Two separate threads for two different strains. Different problems with each. One has this white mold stuff; the other is a dark wet spot. Same vendor.

I bought 4 jars ready to go as controls. Made 12. Shot them all up. Half the jars are doing one thing. The other half are doing their own different thing. None are doing the "right" thing.

I've watched every second of lets grow mushrooms at least twice. Dude says he just boils his jars for a hour, but I just wanted to get a second opinion.


I'll try one more grow then I give up.

Don't give up Jack!
Just make your own brf mix next time, steam for 90mins and inoculate.
A lot of weird stuff can happen to pre-fixed jars maybe shipped by airplane.. :shrug:

The last couple of times I tried to do jars nothing happened.  Before that, I had nothing but success.  What I did was switch to the BRF bags sold by a vendor on here.  Today I am prepping some jars though, not gonna give up even after the last 4 times failed.  I guess what I'm getting at is never give up.


--------------------




Anything I post is purely theoretical, and not based in reality.  All pictures are from google.

A big part of me has died inside and I don't know if it will ever come back.  Nothing makes me happy anymore.  I use drugs and alcohol to numb the pain, and my sense of humor to hide the rest.  I don't share these feelings with anyone in real life.

Email me the name of the vendor your getting brf bags from please if you don't mind.


It's just so discouraging after all the shit I built, supplies I gathered, and money I spent to not have anything to show for it.

No one said this hobby was easy, and it isn't cheep. But if you really want to grow something fun, all you gotta do is follow the BRF Tek. You have to follow it to the T or your wasting your money.

If you make everything your self, you can't blame anyone but you if it doesn't work.

you can open the jars under water, like in a bucket. This will keep the spores from flying everywhere. Do it outside. Then take the bucket somewhere and dump it.




Then, wash the jars real good with hot soap and water or run through the dishwasher.
