Those will likely be colonized by tomorrow night.
Idk anymore I just keep getting penicillium in my coir once spawned. Sfd's poly and no mod lids all seem to colonize fine recover fine...who knows I don't really care too much

This right here is a big fuck you. Nevermind all the fuckery besides the stubborn uncolonized grain, it's 7 week old semperviva so that's all good. But give these a shake and it's doomed.



Here's where it should be.

Don't feel bad Cron, been having the same issue compounding over the last year and exploding since august.
In fact I am kinda relieved you are posting this. Gives me a chance to weasel in a confession but of course not glad you may be pulling your hair out too. :douchewink:
The only two variables that have stood out for me from when I was killing it, to now punching mono tubs,  :fuckthisshit:  have been that it started when I switched to oats and the loss of my wife.
My villain this summer has been penicillium but is manageable to get fruits if not welcome compared to the minty smelling green beast :gumby: but I have been seeing to many plant sprouts on week 2 lately and increasing surface trich on suido coir casing layers on day 4 for the last 2 months.
Now I'm pondering how much nutritional crap the coir is being cut with lately on the eco earth brand.

It is like one step forward and two steps back.:justdontknow:
Cultures have looked clean as they have before this mess and the ones I have a split second doubt on have been tossed to the back burner for pins because the weak will not survive this current battle campaign.
Just in case I've got some really sneaky bacteria; I have done hot pours, sandwiches, brf pucks, keeping the plates in ziplocks, doubling the parafilm and seriously pondering if I have become cursed.

New SFD's longer PC times, new seals, pressure weight, different oat preps, control jars of oats where some held fine others went wet with bacteria after 3 hour pc runs at 15-20 PSI. :oogle:

After a nice heavy trip last week and pondering, "what the fuck am I missing here and how much more can I tighten up my procedures? I am not a superstitious man but I'm about ready to settle on being cursed at this point and the stress is weighing heavy on me!!"
The unstoppable epiphany of, "your grows are reflecting your inner self, " slammed into my mind mid thought of the sentence".

Gotta love them cryptic fucking trip messages. :cookiemonster:

Could be true, I aint big on the whole energy mojo thing and your quote has been my guide and reference to successes. Combine that with pasty's and mushboys description of working conditions:
"It doesn't matter what I think of you...all that matters is clean spawn". I mean it's no fucking rocket science, clean spawn is healthy spawn.  :havesomescience: 
That fucking line has run through my head the last two years during SAB sessions and spawns.
Anyways, since my wife died my burning desire to grow has just became a smoldering desire and a chore of love. It feels like one of those relationsships were ya both like the idea of being together but everything else is a messy delusion of the thought.
I think the bottom line is that nothing is bright anymore I have not had an honest laugh or smile in over a year outside of the psychedelic experience. A large part of me died with her and It is never comming back. Somtimes I dont even recognize my own self.
No amount of drugs will fill the void, no hobby, no amount of work, no amount play will eclipse the void anymore. Only the curiosity of what our species will do next kinda keeps me going and boy do we live in very interesting if not uncertain times as of now. It feels like we are on the pinnacle of a miracle or certain doom and I wanna witness it if the body allows.

Mabye I just don't care anymore and just keep keeping on it because I don't take failure lightly and want to adapt and overcome.

So after my epiphany I have reverted back to WBS for one more shot since all this shit went down after switching to oats. It is the one variable I haven't changed yet.
I never wanted to be a oat hater but I am running out of variables to change at this point. Seems like it's that cheap screw that costs more money when ya need a shot of penicillin every month when ya could have just  simply hand jobbed yourself. Hope I'm wrong and excel rather than replace in the end cause I love oats, not messy and stupid easy and quick to prep.

I will definently be looking at this thread to see the advise and alternative angles.
For me I'm taking my mystical advise from my conscience or what ever it is on taking a break from cultivation and focus on me. I'll just sticking to running cultures. I mean shit, that's just a few hours a week and one of the more fun aspects of the trade. Meanwhile I'll clean up my room all sparkly n shit for piece of mind. Most importantly; to lighten my mind, and time load until I feel it is time to respawn.

Kinda like a good nights sleep and trying again in the morning but more of a macro rest.
I got enough dry bones to chew on for quite awhile anyways. :rush:
I just hate quitting but a strategic retreat has to be acceptable at this point.

Hope things turn around quick for ya Cronicr. :rockon:
You would be the last person I would expect to have this issue but then again I would assume everyone has em.
As a wiser man once said, no one gives much attention to a person that is unhappy. Misery is abundant commodity in society, every one has it, but when a man is happy others will cross the oceans to learn the secret. :jackiechanofapproval:

Really sorry about your wide fam I couldn't imagine that pain my heart goes out to ya.
Things will turn around here they always do sometimes it's just a matter of resetting everything which is what I'm about to do, bleached my buckets I prep my coir in cleaned my fruiting area top to bottom new lids for my jars fresh cultures  new bag of grain bleach my racks and see where we end up:super:
I just wanted people to see were not immortal we all have our issues and moments and often these times are enough to make a guy want to say fuck it all and feel hopeless but it's usually as easy as just going back to noob mode ...start fresh and forget everything

I'm just going to post here to bookmark this thread.
I've also been plagued by penicillium outbreak for past couple years. Stopped growing out of frustration a couple times already. It only shows up after spawning to coir. Eco earth brand. I've tried starting new cultures fresh from spore. Tried sterilizing grain longer. Tightening up sterile tek. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of.
I think I may have finally fixed the problem by switching to properly pasteurized compost. I'm not sure only time will tell.

How are you guys prepping your coir...have you tried sterilizing it?

I like to put mine in the oven in turkey trays at 250-300f for a couple hours. I don't usually see much green until after the 3rd or 4th flush. By then the sub is pretty torn up, and has some rotted little stumps or aborts, so...
