mold or worse?
    #21346988 - 03/01/15 07:03 AM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Moin fellas,
not my first grow but,haven't done jars in a while. I realized yesterday, i forgot to add a layer of dry vermiculite on top before colonizing. I noticed the sweating, turned the jar and hoped for the best. I found this mess when i took off the lid this morning. is this green mold or something more sinister? they smell fine. sweet and mushroom like.

Sure as shit looks like green mold to me. The yellow liquid is caused by the mycelia forming metabolites in response to the contaminant.

Probably should not have opened that and I'd be tossing it pretty quick.

Toss it.  That's mold.  Looks like Aspergillus niger, but it equally could be Trichoderma if the green spores are moist.  Can make them a darker color.

If you have the holes in your lid you need to have at least micropore tape if you don't have the verm.

Even if you don't get contams, you'll lose a lot of moisture in the cakes.
Hopefully you didn't open that in your clean area.

People need to really be more careful about huffing on their work.

Don't smell that again, don't open it again.

It's mold.

If you want to save the jar/lid for reuse, then re-sterilize for 20 minutes then clean it out. The spores and mold will be dead.
