1st post and first grow...help:-)
    #24917924 - 01/16/18 10:10 AM (7 years, 1 day ago)

Hey guys looking for some help.  This is my grow and I can't tell if this is bruising or contam. My first jars did the same thing with a slightly bluish line along the bottom of the jar. These are my second group. I had them on a heat pad both times and the blue hue is only on the bottom. When I took the first 4 off the mat and let them sit for another few weeks the myc seemed to take over the blue hue. But..after dunking for 24 hours the cakes turned completely blue.  i mad the mistake on the first batch not to use a wide moth jar so i had to break the jars with a hammer. The myc didn't seem to get hit with the hammer but i did have to handle the cakes a a lot to get the glass out so i'm not sure if that's why the whole cake turned blue after dunking. The first 6 i did, had the same look as these pics. the first group is in the chamber. Thoughts on the reason they turned blue after dunking (contam or bruising)? These pics are the second group which look the same in the jar as the first. Hoping the blue is from the heating mat and is only bruising since it's only at the bottom. Do these look contam? ugh...thanks ahead of time. BTW..the blow spot at the bottom on the 1 cake isn't visible to the naked eye.

Remove the heating pad, it's damaging your mycelium.

I did that when I saw the same issue in my second group of jars.  I'm using it under my growth chamber to keep the temp up. I have holes on all 4 sides. Do you think that's ok/

If you have 1/4 inch holes spaced 2 inches apart as specified in RodgerRabits SGFC tek you should be good.  Some other variations will work, but it entirely depends on your climate.  As long as the cakes can stay moist with high humidity and sufficient gas exchange, they will be ok.
