Mycelium Residue

I had some mycelium residue in my jars after the first spawn. I have cleaned the jars and lids with hot soapy water. Do you think next spawn will be affected by it? I don't have anything to scrub the inside with and don't want to PC jars empty.
Here are some Pics.

Were any jars contaminated? I don't think you have to worry unless there was contamination.

No, they were not, Any time I get contaminated jars I toss them. Not worth the risk of opening them. Thanks for the reply though.

Yes just because of the powder of contaims that come out when I open them, they get on your clothes if you do them outside and follows you in to your grow space, and inside well. Its game over. I am just getting back into the swing of things and thats what happened last time.

I just pressure can mine without opening them, then dump 'em. If your going to open it tho, I've heard of people doing it under water to minimize the spread of the nastys.

PCing and then opening them seems like a genius idea.

It does in theory... But the fucking smell is foul... I just open contaminated jars inside a trashbag outside.

If you PC then open do they still have tons of spores shoot out when you open them?

If properly PC'd, I believe the mold/contamination gets killed. I've never had a problem doing it.

ive heard different things about this. Im not sure if it actually "kills" it all, or what. i mean, you would think it does kill it all, but again, im not completely certain.

Yea, just gotta be careful with it. OP, unless you wanna keep buying jars, I'd just PC contaminated ones and reuse. Last time, I PC contaminated jars and then dumped them in open air. Haven't had a contamination since, and I didn't even notice any foul smells.

I never really get mold in my spawn jars, just bacteria typically, so I always just dump mine right in the trash then take it out because I don't give a shit. Not about to be buying jars all the time..

I've never PCd any contaminations.. I dump it outside and I obviously get covered in contamination spores. I've had forgotten tubs left in my basement with the furnace kicking on a lot that looked like this for months

And I can still grow just fine. Just gotta be hella ocd with spawn. Luckily thanks to me being ocd I can ID spawn contams pretty damn good.
As long as your filters keep shit out and you do your inoculation with sterility inside a SAB, you really don't have much to worry about.

You PC empty jars? What does that do that doesn't happen when the grains get PC'd inside them? That is like.. a ton of wasted electricity and time.

like i said.. im a very anal perfectionist when it comes to everything i do :/
is it practical? hell no. is it necessary? hell no. do i do it every time? yes.
why? because its worked for me so far.
simple as that really. i dont advocate ANYONE else to PC empty jars. unless of course you want to use a jar that has previously contained a contamination. of course in that case i would toss the jar and get it as far away from my house as humanly possible. but thats just me :p

Contamination jars. Go outside dump out. Get garden hose spray out jar. Bring in wash like you would wash the dishes.
If you're really anal you can PC the jar before dumping it outside

I don't.... what... ummm...
I mean, I could do a little dance on one foot every time because that's what happened every time I had success the first few times but as soon as I figured out the dancing on one foot wasn't what was making it work, I would refine my technique to include only the things that were actually making a difference, and with a focus on excluding steps that cost money but do nothing.
You're PCing jars, getting them sterile, then dropping in dirty grains and letting open air hit the jar, making them no longer sterile. It's like "There's gonna be rain and flooding tomorrow, better go spend 20 bucks on a car wash" It is incomprehensible to me.
The only thing that would make that stance make sense is if mental illness prevents you from making logical changes in response to new information, in which case I guess I feel for you..

hehe i can tell you would HATE my OCD lol.

edit - "The only thing that would make that stance make sense is if mental illness prevents you from making logical changes in response to new information, in which case I guess I feel for you.."
while i have NEVER heard it put that way.. i suppose that is EXACTLY what OCD is 
edit 2 - deleted this edit.. i dont like being judged for my 'ailnesses' if thats even what its called.

If I was in your situation I'd probably have quit long ago. I find many steps tedious, that's why I aim to make it easier with less work. My favorite part is just watching them grow just right. If I had so much other bs happening like that, I'd have lost interest long ago. I'm lazy af lol. I really don't do anything I feel isn't needed at this point.

you dont even know how much i envy that. ive come to understand and work with my OCD in order to function properly day to day. but by no means is it easy. and i have no room to be lazy or else things start getting 'funky' (depression, mood swings, etc.). in some ways, i believe the reason i love this hobby so much is because it allows me to focus my OCD in a productive manner. in the same way my job does.
im an IT coder by trade, and you should see the way i write code.. its insane the way my OCD forces me to do it a certain way every time. BUT my code LOOKS beautiful in the end lol.

So your saying you HAVE to PC all your empty jars, no matter what? Do what you want man but it really is a great big waste of time and energy to have to PC jars that don't need it. Any way you could possibly break out of this habit? It'd probably save you time and even money in the long run.

ill admit, i HAVE simply washed them by hand, and then in the dishwasher, and then alcohol wiped them down.. SIMPLY i say :p lol. but this process sucks too.
i dont know guys. i have a thing for bad bacterias and molds. while im fully aware the process is completely unnecessary. i feel this extremely strong impulse to follow the procedures ive set in place. and if dont, i end up stressing myself CONSTANTLY that ive done something wrong.
i know its dumb ): and yes its wasted me quite a lot of time and money im sure. i literally bought extra PC's just so i could do this process more efficiently.
i am working towards not doing this anymore. but i have been for quite a long time.. granted i only PC them for 15-20 minutes at 15PSI, and it doesnt take all that long to do them all. i usually get other things done while i PC them so its never felt like a crazy ridiculous process. though its exactly that in the end -__-
