weird smell lately
    #20273130 - 07/14/14 07:46 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

So a weird thing has happened in the last 2 days.

I had a quart jar of wbs that I crumbled into 2 different containers with some coir several days ago.

The spawn was crumbled and mixed thoroughly before it was split between containers.

Today one of the containers smells slightly of alcohol and probably bacteria, the other is fine.
I really don't understand how it could be. If I had a bacteria infection in my jar and it was mixed well, would both containers not smell the same?

I should mention these are brand new containers and I know its not the coir or it would all smell funky.

Were the jars 100% colonized...

the other one may be close behind... or maybe it's fine. Too many factors in this one...

Toss it out and GL with the other one

The jar was fully colonized, yes. I'm all for throwing it out just trying to make sense of one smelling funky and the other not.

Well normally not achieving full colonization will turn into those classic symptoms. One was fully colonized, one wasn't (if the remaining one survives).

If the other one gets contam as well then it was probably a sneaky bit of bacteria colonizing in your jars.

When you say crumble am I right in assuming you couldn't get it to break apart by shaking? Because that alone can be a sign of bacteria.

I shook it enough to break it into pieces that would easily come out. Then finely crumbled after.

Just a whack or two.

I add that I smelled it after I whacked it and the jar smelled peachy keen. Also the same spawn is in both containers and only one smells.

sooooo...

You spawned to two different containers after mixing the spawn and the bulk sub in a seperate container.

Were these containers covered? Did they have lids or did you cover them with foil?

Are you opening the containers before they're fully colonized to smell?

If it's not fully colonized I say wait until it's fully colonized or stalls before you throw it out.

If it fully colonizes it may still produce some fruits if it's just a baterial presence, you may even get a half assed flush out of it.

I just hate telling people to throw shit away before colonization is even complete. I enjoy watching contamination work itself out.

Ya until I see green or the tub gains sentience and attacks, I keep em.  Bac is easier to contain than trich, just wear gloves, wash hands, new gloves before you do anything.

Well that's disturbing.

Update though, the smell seems to have all but disappeared, quite curious.

:shrug:as long as it doesnt trich out I wouldnt worry.  Trich is really the number one thing I worry about.  Myc can handle some bacteria, but mean green ll fuck yo shit up in a hurry.

Yeah I'm not worried about it at this point but still find it odd only 1 container had a smell and now its all but gone and it didn't put off a smell before I mixed it with coir.
