New grower, question about failed jars
    #23803827 - 11/05/16 04:14 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hello Shroomerites, this is my first post here and I had a question about cultivating mushrooms. This is my first attempt at growing mushrooms, and coincidentally I had my first real trip last night (5.3g Golden Teachers).

I inoculated my jars a few weeks ago and a few of them are almost done, however as expected not all of them grew properly. My jars are the premade ones from Midwest Grow Kits, and I had inoculated 6 1/2 pint jars and 3 24 oz jars with Koh Samui and 6 1/2 pint jars with Purple Mystics. Of these all 6 1/2 pint KS jars grew properly, all of the 24 oz jars started but only one lasted long, and of the PM jars three grew properly and three seem to have no visual progress whatsoever.

Here is an image of what the two failed 24 oz jars look like. As you can see there is a small amount of mycelial growth (compared to the successful jar, which is almost completely covered in white at this point) and what appears to me to be a contamination or mold of some sort. By contrast, the 3 failed Purple Mystics jars have no visible growth whatsoever. I was wondering whether or not it is possible to simply inoculate these jars again? My guess would be that the large jars will not be able to be reused in this way as the spores had started growing, but the smaller ones may grow properly as the spores seem not to have taken hold at all. Could someone with more experience in this field advise me here?

Thanks for your help!

don't have a good answer, but I can tell you that this question gets posted time and time again, try the search engine.

I'd just start over personally.

That jar is bacterial and/or prepared too wet. The mycelium that did grow isn't healthy, either. You need to discard the contents of this jar; they cannot be re-used.

So it looks like I'm trashing the two large ones, as expected unfortunately. What about the jars which had no visible growth at all? Is there a chance that different spores may take hold, or is it better to just scrap those as well?

If there isn't any sign of growth after a few weeks, something is wrong, and you should probably scrap those jars too.  Sorry man, that's a bummer.  I am assuming you used a syringe to inoculate?  I've been burned enough times with dirty syringes, I don't even fuck with them any more.  Got into agar, and have had significantly better, more consistent results.  Something to consider going forward, as it is always heart breaking when a project fails.
