Shaking for contams
    #19015903 - 10/22/13 08:18 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

So let's say someone had 4 jars going and right around the 25% mark it was shaken up and recovered and started growing again after about 1-2 days after shake.

The myc was looking nice and white but when it got around 85% it was noticed that parts appeared weak and maybe a bit whispy. seeing as this could be a sign of something amiss in the jar, would it be a viable option to shake the jar once more at about 90% to see how the myc recovers to confirm a problem with the jars?

I did this with my last batch of jars. Some were questionable and I did a shake when they were 100 and one ended up having trich.

Sorry I'm not able to get any pics at the moment.
I know sometimes it can be hard to give advice without them.

But as far as the whole idea in general how do you think it sounds?

Like it doesn't really look like anything abnormal is growing or anything. it doesn't look bad. just not the best. like weak and light  around the really white fluffy stuff.

I don't see a problem with what you are suggesting.

I used to only shake my grain jars once at around 20-30%.  Then I had a few bad tubs in a row and couldn't figure out where my contams where coming from (duh, hidden contams in jars lol).

So now I shake once at 20-30%, then I'll shake em again at or right around 100% to ensure they are contam-free before I spend them time spawning them to bulk.  I think this is a good idea in the interest of saving yourself much heartache.

Yeah, go ahead and shake it one more time. I do this test sometimes if I have a jar that's slightly questionable. My rule is if it won't recover in 24-36 hours, it's not worth using, no matter the reason it won't recover.

When you do, watch to see if you get a cloud in your airspace on top. If you do, that's contam spores and your jar is bad. Also take a good sniff through the filter. You may have to put your nose directly on the filter to tell, especially if you use SFDs.

i recommend common sense and figuring it out.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.

Yea i had one of my two tubs go bad on me last go around. didn't make it to the first flush. i'm thinking it was the spawn. and if it was the spawn it's probably from my syringe. i believe it's from the same syringe.

Yea it was just an idea that i couldn't find any info on. I figured if they aren't contaminated they should recover just fine. and if they are then they were gonna get thrown out anyway. just a little extra time to be sure.

Tried taking a whiff. had my nose right up on it but can't really smell anything at all.
and i'm using tyvek

Thanks for everyone's advice. I'll give it a go and keep a close eye on them:thumbup:
