rye bag contamination... where did I go wrong?
    #19107961 - 11/08/13 09:46 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

so I've had 4 3lb bags from midwest grow kits colonizing for quite a while now....  inoculated too deep into the bag and didn't see anything after 2-3 weeks in a couple of the bags, one of which I proceeded to mix up to find out what the deal was.  found a tiny piece of mycelium, which has since continued to grow and look just fine.  however, the bag in question has a MUCH higher moisture content than the other 3 bags, all of which are farther along than it at this point.  I also noted that this high moisture content was present long before any growth was seen.  wasn't too sure about this, so I just now smelled the filter patch, and sure enough there is a strong, rotten-ish smell coming from it. 

so...  throw 'er away?  what could I have done wrong?  they did take quite a bit of time to colonize...  more time to colonize= more time for contams...  and 3lb bags take longer to colonize than 1lb bags, so maybe I'll go for a smaller bag next time.  any thoughts appreciated.

:whathesaid:

Could also be a case of the "bad" syringe. I don't trust any syringe that I don't make myself and I don't even trust those. You want guaranteed clean inoculate? Agar FTW :shrug:
