Noob help: Contamination or Mycelium?
    #25580535 - 10/31/18 02:08 AM (6 years, 2 months ago)

I've gone through the how to spot contamination thread and know there are a few contamination variants that look similar to myc. Could you help me identify whether this is myc or not? Inoculated 3 days ago with b , stored between 29-30c (although day 1 was around 32). Thanks

Doing PF Tek but first time so messed up on verm moisture a bit and using a mix of jars and glasses as containers. Painful I know lol.

Ehhh the whole thing looks a little sketchy IMO...but it may be too early to tell just yet..keep an eye on them and update with a few more pics if more growth happens.

Also maybe take the tinfoil off the top and add micropore tape to allow better GE (gas exchange).

PF TEK doesn't call for glasses with rubber bands :facepalm:

Storing at 29-30C is going to end in disaster.

Please review this ----------> Updated PF TEK

Before you start...Do you have a Pressure Cooker and a Dehydrator? I highly recommend getting both!

I'm experimenting a bit but I'd come across a few posts where people had successfully used a drinking glass with a foil lid instead of the PF tek jars (I live in a country where you simply can't buy shoulderless jars 1/2 pint, even amazon here doesn't have bell/kerry jars). I figured I'd do a few cakes with the glass method and a few cakes with shouldered jars that I break open and see if there's any difference in terms of contamination/growth etc.

Re. the 29-30c according to this: https://files.shroomery.org/files/14-16/804683968-Screen_Shot_2014-04-20_at_7.18.20_PM.png

It suggests that cubes should grow quite happily at 30c (86f). The alternative is in my air conditioned room (hot country) which stays around 20c. Seems like I'd be waiting forever for growth in that case.

20C is better than 30C when doing PF. At 30C contam is given a better chance to overtake your mycelium.

You can fruit them at that temp, but for colonizing jars I try to keep them temps low to avoid bacteria growth.

You don't need to spend big money on mason jars for pf tek. Here I've modified some tupaware containers and reused widemouth jam jars. I'm also doing a grow with various other sizes of modded containers to show that you can do it with shit round the house.

Also, my grow room is kept at 20-22c (shits getting cold here 8c outside today) and it's not taking any longer than it did in the summer:shrug:
