Why didn't I get contams?
    #23459061 - 07/20/16 09:58 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I inoculated 12 pf style tall half pint jars about 3 weeks ago. 11 out of 12 started to colonize and are now anywhere between 60-90% colonized. 1 jar never started to colonize but shows no signs of contamination what so ever. All of my jars are colonizing at a heathy rate also. So my question is why didn't I get any contams? I followed the tek down to the letter until I inoculated. First off, I didn't use a glove box, just a normal room with the door closed and the C/A off for about an hour. Secondly I only sterilized the needle with a lighter for the FIRST jar, after that I just quickly finished the rest of the jars. ANDDDD on top of that about a week ago I punched 2 more holes in each jar because they only had 2 and I wanted 4 for more FAE. This is my first grow, besides the things I mentioned I was pretty clean. I sanitized all my work areas. So how did I have such good rate of success with these horrible sanitation techniques? Was I just very very very lucky? Either way I'm glad my first grow is doing so well so far. If I had to guess I'll be birthing some time next week after I see signs of pinning.

Partially luck and partially the fact BRF cakes are one of the harder substrates for contaminations to germinate on.

Good to know. I was very paranoid that I would get contams so this was a nice surprise.
