First time growing,... need help identifying possible contamination.
    #19494255 - 01/29/14 11:07 PM (10 years, 11 months ago)

So I had started cultivation for the first time at the beginning of december. Mycellium started growing, but then after about 2 weeks they came to almost a complete halt. I don't know why it took that long, but I also have pics to show jars. There is some sort of greyish stuff, not sure if mold or not.

If it stalled out most likely the jars either didn't have enough gas exchange or got a contaminant. 

I gotta ask tho, why would you open the top up?  I mean if it stalled and you were going to toss them, that's not a problem.  But if they were doing fine, you don't want to open em up till they are 100% colonized and let sit for an extra week for consolidation.

Why do you have tin foil under your jar lid? Was this instead of punching holes through a jar lid? You do have holes for gas exchange right?

Could be why they stalled, no GE.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I definitely doesn't look like healthy mycelium. The tall jars suck by the way as well. Find some short wide mouth jars.

Try to get some felt, and get some silicone, and make some GE lid's. I wish I still had the link, but I did this awhile back, with a silicone dab over one hole, and felt and silicone over the other(GE) the dab of silicone is nice for injections.

Be safe,
