Contamination?
    #24905108 - 01/11/18 09:31 AM (7 years, 6 days ago)

I am new to Shroomery in terms of having an account, although I have browsed the website before for helpful tips on cultivation. This is my second attempt with a total of 12 Pf Tek Jars. Three out of the twelve jars were previously compromised by black mold for the two and green mold for the one. My z-strain jars have been colonizing for a substantial amount of time due to my ignorance towards them whilst my excitement and attention was focused on my GT cakes in my Shotgun Chamber. I am wondering if anyone has any idea what is forming on the outside of the cake. Is it a contaminate? A pin that flattened?
Any help is appreciated,
Thank you.

If you just boiled some jars in a pot of water there is a good chance that the substrate inside of the jar was not completely and fully sterilized as happens many times over for those who use the system. 
I guess there may be black spot mold and any other things that were not killed with the boiling bath method of heat treating things.
Have you considered using a pressure cooker?
I suggest you look into that for better results.

Got any pictures? Upload them here it removes all exif data.

Steaming is approved and appropriate for PF cakes. You do not need a pressure cooker for cakes.

Sometimes the syringe is bad sometimes its operator error.
