Mycelium growth outside a jar?
    #21934704 - 07/12/15 07:00 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hey all, first time cultivator here. I was wondering if this foam like substance that's growing out of the lid on the top and sides of one of my jar lids is mycelium. It's the amazonian strain, and It smells earthy,like a mild verm smell. It is a brf cake, boiled for 1.5 hours and noc'ed then placed at 75F at the end of may.

So far I've had to toss 4 of 8 jars due to green mold. These were the first 4.  I changed the temp of the incubator to 82 since then, and I've quarantined 1 jar, while the other 3 seem to be almost done, but this one I was not expecting. You can't see it in the pics but there are little cavities on the 'foam'. Is this myc? Why is this happening? These are also the jars I had to flip due to taping the holes, I removed those early on.

Do you have a verm layer on top?

Pic is blurry, but even if that is mycelium I don't see how it got through the dry verm :shrug:

Also no need to incubate- that's too hot

Those pics are terrible. Why are you incubating them? Is it less than 65F in your house? Why did you use fancy jelly jars? The cake will need to be dug out with a spoon if you don't break the jar. Why is there foam growing out the holes? If you had a proper dry verm layer nothing would be growing through them like that. If you didn't have a proper dry verm layer, that mess is contamed to hell and belongs in the trash.

In short you did pretty much everything imaginable wrong. You need to do some reading and start over. Sorry.

Those pics are blurry but a big part of that jar sure looks green. Something or multiple things are definitely wrong.

Yes, they all had dry verm layers on the top. Sorry about the quality, my phone camera sucks for close-ups. I also noticed a clear liquid about half way up the side in some parts that I hadn't seen before. Will they grow slower at ~65°? I've read 75-85° is favorable for them. It doesn't smell sour or anything like the ones I've lost. Couldn't find the right jars, a lot of things weren't right. I lost hope for these when the first jar went. It's a learning experience I suppose.

Gonna be honest... Even if you showed me a picture of a dry verm layer I wouldn't believe you had one. It's not worth doing unless you do it right. You wanted something quick and now you just doubled the time it's going to take to see anything. Go back read, take notes, then reread, watch RRs videos, then read again. Good things come to those who wait

85 is way too hot and will favor mold and bacteria. Was it a proper dry verm layer? How thick was it? Sorry to say that you really do need to start over as that is a disaster man. Keep the jars to use for no pour agar later and start over.

I started at 80 degrees and had issues. Problems have been reduced drastically since moving to 72 degrees.

Seems like you probably had your substrate too wet as well. Your vem probably got wet because of it.
