Fungus Gnat Larvae
    #23598954 - 08/31/16 08:27 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Well i learned a valuable lesson today.  Make sure your lids are tight... thought I was doing decent for my first time, four out of 36 pf cake with contamination (penicillium i think) at 14 days and then today i found those nasty little bastards crawling around in three more of my jars.  Checked all my other lids and they were good and secure. Any other way they could have gotten into the jars? 

Also not sure if gnats count as a contamination so I apologize if i'm in the wrong forum.

Tight lids are a must. Also if you have bug problems, micropore tape is good to place over your inoc holes (assuming you're doing pf tek)

yeah, I use micropore tape.  Also didn't realize that just handling the jars can loosen the rings. the jars have had to move around a little bit,  getting some cold nights up here, first moved them to the top of a closet.  still too cold so i relocated them all to a chest freezer with a 1 liter heat bomb, i keep it around 75/76.
