PF Tek Mold?
    #26487864 - 02/16/20 03:30 AM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Is this mold (cobweb?) or early signs of germination/colonization?  These jars were inoculated 6 days ago.

It just doesn't quite have that solid white color to it that I had expected to see. I will hold onto these jars for a little longer I guess and see what happens with more time. I feel like I'll have to toss them though if I don't see any improvement in the color in a week or so.

Sometimes the mycelium starts out a bit wispy, and slow going.  Give it another week or two. I think those look good.  What is the temp of the room they in?

72ish. Give or take a degree.

I was having the same worry. These were taken on the 6th and look way better now.

My main concern was the spot closest to the top where I may have tilted and examined the jar way more than I should. Resulting in a spike with internal fear that I have maybe compromised the integrity of the verm on top and letting a contam in.

And here's what they look like now. (Just took the pics for this post)



I'm still questioning everything that's going on but all seems to be doing well for me thus far. Time will tell.

I suggest circling questionable spots for growth concerns :smile:

This is my first BRF TEK.  I'm an advocate for agar and grain but have been enjoying this way as well.

Just let it do it's thang.

Hope this helps!

This Is a photo different from the other jars and post above. It's the earlier stage of germination like yours and looks similar I think. So far mine are good *fingers crossed* Good luck!

They look fine to me. Just be patient and keep an eye on them.
This is one of my jars from my last grow.

Here they are 12 days later.

Good luck!

Time gets much more valuable the older I get, and no matter how much money I spend, I can't get a second of it back.

Thanks for all the comments and pics guys. I'll keep an eye on them and will post some updates in a couple of weeks.
