So my alt#7 jars all look contamed to me which is weird because the plates i used were super clean i opened one of these jars and it smell just like normal mycelium so i wanted a second opinion before i toss them if it were standard cubensis i would have already tossed them but maybe ALT#7 looks different

Did you shake them cause somtimes the myc gets weak for a bit after a shake and looks diff but stone jars get weird anyway I'd just let them set a lil while see if they make stones ime they can handle bacteria better than cubes.

Hey no, don't throw those out quite yet. I've grown stones once and this is just kind of what they looked like when the stones started to form. To get some feedback from people who know better than I do, post your pics in this thread for an opinion:

The spawn definitely isn’t as uniformed as I’d like to see (unless you broke it up before opening). Mine had stones growing on it before it even finished colonizing there jar and is completely white/yellow/ with stones going brownish in color. The agar mycelium you have looks really good. It’s possible it could have gotten contaminated through inoculation or even by the grain prep itself. It’s not certain to me this is contaminated- it certainly does look suspect in comparison to mine, currently, however.

Yeah they are likely fine man. They are certainly not showing any tell-tale signs of contamination at this point. How far along are they?

Yeah I was gonna guess 6 weeks. The weird gooey looking shit is the stones starting to form. 1.5 more months from now you can harvest, or let them go longer for increased potency

I was just over on the official stone/sclerotia thread or whatever and another thing you can do is birth your jars to trays or I guess monos with coir to greatly increase yield. In other words, after a few weeks colonizing the coir you’ll have more/larger stones. Maybe you already know this but I totally missed it first time around/only time I did stones, didn’t know it was a thing.
I’ve got an LC started on ATL #7 and will be doing 24 pounds of rye in bags starting late Jan. Will birth to coir as well. Stoked
Anyway best of luck man
