First grow second time contaminating
    #21245968 - 02/08/15 10:21 PM (9 years, 3 months ago)

Hey, so I am a first time grower and bought a 10cc syringe of Golden Teacher from The Spore Depot. My first 3 jars were a bust and black mold was present in a few areas of two of them. I then was far more sterile trying two jars.
They were inoculated 6 days ago and I am seeing signs of green mold. Is there any way that the mycelium can over come it? I'm beginning to really lose hope in growing healthy cakes and would love any input aside from the usual "toss it" as i've seen on other forums. I want to try and save the jar but I don't want to put my health at risk doing so!

I am pretty confident when I say there is no mushroom mycelium growing in the jars.

You need to toss and redo with a more sterile technique.

Also, you should get the recommended wide mouth pint jars.  The larger jars might be a bit much for a beginner and they have a SUPER high chance of stalling out because of how long PK tek jars take to colonize.  Even the wide mouth pints take 21-30 days, the qt jars take even longer and run higher risks due to that.
