Possible Jar Contam
    #21675974 - 05/13/15 06:56 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I've got a few Jars going after G2G'd, except I filled the jars too full and couldn't shake. It's been 14 days and most are almost done, except I've noticed a spot that kind of looks slightly greyish.

Nor sure if it's a contam or not.  Again the jar has not been shaken so the mycelium is just working it's way down.

Can you guys tell me what you think,  also if the mycelium over takes it, is it safe to use?

if you didn't shake and there is growth coming from the bottom of the jar that answers that

Hmmmm, I have something similar, that's disheartening.

It looks like mycelium to me... could just be how it grew but I wouldn't toss that jar. Mycelium can take awhile to recover from initial shake depending on the genetics. Also it can split into microscopic hyphae that would take a few extra days just to be seen by the naked eye

I wonder if it worked its way down the middle then out?

Hopefully I'm just being a bit paranoid. I don't see this on the rest of the jars, just the progression of the mycelium working its way down.

Just hate the idea of tossing it for no reason.

It's fine and you can see there's grey even in the big healthy portion too (most visible in the 3rd pic). You got tons of genetics in there and some are different colours. Just let it do its thing. Don't toss it if you don't have to.

:rofl:

if OP didn't shake it, this was a g2g, and one grain jumped to the bottom past like hundreds of grains I would be shocked.

is this variety magic? :lmao:

In pic 2 it looks like you have plenty of  room to "shake" it up. You just may have to bang it against something to break it all up though.I used to have a bad habit where i way overfilled jars and never couldn't get it mixed up. It does look like the jar is fine to me though.
