Contamination right out of pc??
    #23583073 - 08/27/16 10:42 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I'm starting my first mushroom grow in years and after p.c my cakes for 75minutes and allowing to cool over night when I removed there is what appears to be a white ring around all the jars an inch or so up from the bottom is this a contam? Or just built up condensation?

Looks like it's just moisture. With 75 min you're definitely cool. I usually do 40-60 min.

I put two layers of jar lids with a layer of foil in between then filled with water just to the top of the jar lids and added jars... And I've read alot about that but I figured since I haven't grown them since I was a teen I'd start with some cakes then spawn to grain for bulk trays in monotubs.

It's definitely on the inside of the jar on every one just wanted to make sure I didn't screw up before inoculating. I'm all set up to inoculate but saw that and wanted to double check myself. I searched here and google and couldn't find anything similar.

Are you SURE that's on the inside?  That looks EXACTLY like the calcium deposits that end up on the outside of every PC'd jar.

Wipe it with vinegar or alcohol and it should come off.

Don't feel silly.  If you hadn't asked you might have assumed the jars were toast and thrown the contents out.  That's what the forum is here for.

I was also just a bit over concerned cause after mixing the 2-1-1 for the cakes I felt it was a bit to dry so I added a little less than an extra 1/4 cup of water so it felt a bit more moist so I had thought I over did it... We'll now after making a fool of myself. Let's get these 20 cakes rolling... I'm doing 10 golden teachers and 10 B+

read your PC's instructions. I put in maybe less than an inch of water in mine and keep the burner LOW enough to only hear a few hisses per min. otherwise you can burn your substrate. burnt bird seed STINKS

:lol:  Well you can see in the picture that it's on the outer side of the glass.  If it was on the inside there'd be a clear surface before the fog started.

Less than an inch in water? Mine would dry up in no time even on low heat

I put about 2 inches in mine. :shrug:  About one inch up the bottom of the jars.  If even.  Could be a sign you're using too much heat.

I have mine way off the bottom on a couple little heat proof tubs with a pizza tray across to put my jars on so my jars never touch the water but your probably right I just wack it on full till it hisses its tits off then turn it down till it levels out

I used tap water for a lot of my grows and the jars looked like that many times. Always thought it was calcium and never noticed any contemn issues. Not 100% but thats what it looks like to me
