so i had this fully colonized wbs jar that had a sour smell to it, i shook it to see how it recovered, well it recovered fine no green no nothing and now the sour smell is gone and it smells mushroomy.

My jars always have a differing smell before and after shaking them. If it looks healthy, smells good, why not give it a shot?
How colonized is it?

So , the next question is which factor of your process is causing contamination in your spawn?

Agar or even the brf agar substitute to clean your spores up, as for your jar i'd spawn it on its own and air on the side of caution

  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

i could just spawn the wbs jar to some coir and verm let colonize then fruit it, take some tissue put it onto some agar and do it that way? or maybe make a spore print from the fruits and then put onto agar? which way would be better if you guy's opinion/experience?

I guess the myc eats lactobacillus and yeast to a certain degree. But if the bacteria have already produced a lot of ethanol or acetic acid, the myc can't take it. But by that time the grains are going to be a gooey mess.

No, 1 jar of WBS and 1 jar of substrate...not a whole brick.

1-3 Qt with vermiculite would suffice. As others have said, a mini made with only one quart spawn can easily deliver well over 30g dried fruit in its lifetime.
If I have any question to the integrity of the jar, I would rather mini-mono it and clone the best than to risk larger infections.

i spawn 1 qt grain to 1 qt pasteurized coir/verm a lot so test isolates/strains. I use 4.5 qt buckets, made like a mono tub.


got the idea from blake_shroom here: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18892960/fpart/1/vc/1/nt/2
he uses a 5 gallon bucket, but only 1 qt grain spawn to 3-4 qts substrate. I love this tek because of the trash bag "lung". u will need to adjust ur hole size if u do a smaller bucket like mine. I use my 5 gallon buckets for mimosa Hostilis extractions, plus the small ones work if u do a lot of strain/isolate testing, u can fit more in a small apt.

Cheese is not a smell you want, bleu or otherwise.......my recent first attempt at grain jars smelled a bit like fermented grain as they were colonizing but when fully colonized smelled like mushroom love........here's hoping!

ya , iv,e been there. It may go... but the bacteria, almost always wins. and when it does win. the grow is slower than norm. it will fruit if its not too infected. however I think the fruits are infected also. passing on info man...last 2 jars look like bac 2 me...good luck man

Dude, it's winter. biological processes all take place more slowly. Why don't you give it some more time to fully colonize, and if it should show signs of contam you can still throw it away.

how big is ur bucket? holes might be a bit big, but then again, I dunno how the dimensions r. Id use two holes at substrate, 2 at top, all holes no bigger than a glass beer bottle top. if its a five gallon bucket, those holes might b ok, but still, just two of them, at least at substrate level (not that this has anything to do with the 2 week thing)
