Weird contam
    #20599080 - 09/21/14 10:07 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Aloha forum users! For the past months I've been try to cultivate brazillian cubensis and everything went well from sterilization to birthing ending with beautiful flushes and harvest. However, due to the extreme humidity we've been experiencing in hawaii I've been getting a weird contamination that kicks in at about 50% colonization. Maybe it's over humidifying the jar or something we can't figure it out. Anyone out there with some solution please share some tips and advice on how to avoid this problem. I really don't want to give up this awesome interest because of some contamination setback! Alohaz and thanks!

Growing out the top or is that some kind of filter?

Oh yes, we experimented with poly fiber fil taped to the top of the jar to reduce contamination before exiting the glove box. It worked wonders but this recent occurrence of contamination got us stumped.

Whatever is in there looks like it may have gotten in through the top past the filter. That's by no mean certain but it's usually the case when you see the formation of sectors like that.

Right on thanks dude. We'll probably go back to breathable tape to ensure less exposure.
