What is this?
    #18927849 - 10/03/13 08:21 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hello all-

This is my first grow, and my jars are FINALLY almost done.  I'm just wondering what this stuff is, and hoping it's not something bad.  This brownish coloration has been happening on a few jars where the mycelium last came together.  You can still sort of see where it's growing together in one of the jars.  Is this safe/normal?  I really don't want to have to chuck these jars.  Also, I see a few pins poking out in some of the jars, but want to wait until all of them are fully colonized before I birth them.  Is that fine?  Any info is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.







-Jason

The early pinning could be from a bacteria contamination in the jar, i would keep a eye on them and make sure it colonizes fully.

Your pictures are a bit too blurry to tell, but the brown splotching looks like it might be bacterial contamination. The best thing you can do is smell your jars (just small the filter patch or tyvek or whatever you're using). If it smells fruity or rotten, it's bacterial.

One of my early grows I had some bacterial contamination that, miraculously, the mycelium somehow beat back - leading to pretty decent yields in the end. Don't lose hope yet! Bacterial contams aren't as massively contagious as molds, so there's no harm in waiting a bit an seeing how it looks in a week. If it still looks terrible, and smells like ass/fruit/rotten.... toss it. On the other hand, if it's just discolored, but colonizes fully and smells ok, you're likely alright. You can always post another pic for opinions then!

Good luck!

Thank you.  The brown hasn't grown at all. if anything the mycelium has been taking it over a little bit.  I'll keep an eye on them though- I'm not nearly as worried as I was before.
