Can I save this jar? Popcorn tek(pics)
    #20566523 - 09/14/14 01:50 PM (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hey guys I started a grow 5 days ago now. I bought my first spore syringe its the Costa Rica strain. Unfortunately because of my current living situation I wasn't able to pressure cook the jars because I don't own one. I am living at home with parents. I'm going to tech school and working but don't think I will be able to support myself enough right now to move out. Anyways I still want to grow. I am doing the popcorn tek followed the steps correctly and because I don't have a pressure cooker available I used the steam sterilization method (I think RR has a video on it watched it a year ago so don't remember everything). I don't think I did it correctly, hopefully this was my mistake. I am doing a small grow of just three jars. Checked this jar today and was very excited to see some good growth, then I turned it around and saw the green mold wondering what you think.

Sorry pics rotated wasnt sure how to fix it



The dark string is a clump of spores that didn't seperate

How long did you steam for? Usually 8 hours is the minimum recommended for most grains but, with popcorns high endospore count and large grain size I would say closer to 10 or 12 would be better.

The video was referring to BRF which can be steamed for 90 min with no problems. This is due to the lack of endospores in rice. But grains have lots of endospores which are tougher to kill and thus need much higher temps or longer sterilization times to kill. Popcorn is one of the worst for endospores and its large grain size means it takes longer for the heat to penetrate.

Those jars are going to be screwed, I would pitch them and follow the pf tek to a tee instead. That or buy a PC.

Thats too bad, but thanks for the info. Thinking about trying 9ers whole rice tek so I dont have to buy vermiculite. How long would I need to steam that?

This whole brown rice method is easier to follow IMO.

You don't havea right to grow in your parents home.  When u grow  up and become big people, then grow.

Right c'mon man thats pretty disrespectful. Your messing with a schedule 1 drug, why put your parents at risk for something they arent doing. Nd dont steam grain, just go buy a pc, they are as cheap as 35$.
