Jar Condensation Question
    #22019164 - 07/30/15 10:13 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

So, I have 10 jars of culture that I inoculated on the evening of the 23rd. I am seeing some nice mycelium growth at this point but what also concerns me is that I lost 2 jars to the green mold contaminant. I am wondering if there were some issues with the sterilization process, or perhaps my dry verm layer isn't thick enough?

There is light condensation along the jar lip and on the lid. I actually think it may be a too thin of a dry verm layer? What do you think? And at this point can I add a bit more to help protect from contams?

You most definitely shouldn't open the lids after steaming. It is hard to really see what's going on in the pics. How thick did you make your verm layer?

I know :frown: I have goofed. I was just curious about how much condensation my uncontaminated jars had in comparison to the jars I lost to green mold. I took a picture of where the dry verm layer is sitting. I am not sure how much better this picture is though.

Yes, indeed you have goofed. Don't worry about condensation.

Prep new jars, and knock them up (preferably in a SAB if you have one).

Luckily I only checked 3 jars. So the other 5 should be okay! :frown: So I will sit it out and see how things play out.

I hate to burst your bubble, but probably 80% or so of this hobby is waiting. If you can't wait, you will not grow mushrooms. Its that simple.

Yeah, I shall be patient. This is my very first time though, so I am bound to mess up at least a little bit! :smile:
