What does condensation mean? (pics)
    #26360085 - 12/03/19 10:00 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Evening Shroomery!

I have a batch of recently g2g’d jars, it’s been about a week, I’m finding that half of them have pretty significant condensation on the inside that I can’t get rid of, they’re about 2/3 colonized.

I figured it was because of them being against a cold wall, but now I’m not so sure, since I moved them around and things don’t seem to be changing much.

Now normally I’d say this is due to a bacterial infection, :frown: , but, luckily, I don’t see any sort of other signs such as wet grains against the glass and pooling.

So my question is anyone have any ideas what can cause healthy grain to have condensation, or if any other hidden contams cause condensation, or my room is just drafty and i’m losing it.

Really trying to hold onto this batch, thanks!

I too was scared with condensation on my first grow. I’m sure we both read the same threads where people say that water in the jars is a sign of contamination. Your doing a great job! Keep putting in that work.

thx guys, much appreciated

unfortunately.. I think it actually may be contamination, :/ I’m skipping g2g on my next jars I think, I’ll just wait longer for the agar, I appreciate the compliments on the looks, that’s why lately bacteria has been driving me crazy, I just want fruits, shit took so many of my jars,

I was neglecting agar a bit but that’s the end of that

here’s some pics for review::

Those look good to me. Even the one with highlighted spot.
What exactly are you pointing out? Wet spots? A LOT of people will tell you it’s contam. IME it’s just condensation caught between a grain and the glass. When the grains get wet the mycelium seems to back off. I’m definitely no expert tho and don’t quote me on that....

it’s more the dense clumps of tanish-brown ooz coming from certain grains of you look closely, from my experience this is a buildup of bacteria, not sure if alive or dead but they appear later on in my infected grain.

if you look up pictures of jars with bacterial contamination it may give u a better idea, again I could be wrong about my jars, but it’ll still give u an idea of what I’m referring to.

it’s one of the hardest to spot, not my favorite

thats either a burst kernel or basillus. im on board with the TCs here. Those look good and may be able to beat that shit out. hell let em go. if nothing else you can prove yourself right with identifying a contam
