What am I’m looking at? Part 2 : continued - okay what am I doing wrong?
    #26735045 - 06/10/20 06:09 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hello!

Former post here! https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26703884#26703884

The “molasses in January” seemed to quadruple in size in 72 hours. I decided to empty the bucket and smelled a sour as soon as I broke to the bottom.

Boxes that looked perfect are now starting to look similar to the previous boxes before the bacteria. I’m not really sure what’s going on. Suggested ceiling fan is currently on more often than not. Still getting ambient sunlight,... but it is east sun. Shoeboxes for anyone who doesn’t read former post.

These boxes are now almost three weeks no pinning, no signs of fruit at all. What the bloody hell am I doing wrong? At the worst they are already infected with the bacteria referenced and I will toss them. The best is I get some fruit.

Your opinions are welcome and appreciated.

You'll need to lay out your process. Looking at the tub is good for nothing.

When you where adding the spawn to the substrate did you take a smell test?

When you process your grain did you give It a good drain and drying?

I like to give my grain a three hour drain and dry time In the sun spreading It out as thin as possible raking It with my fingers so It all get the sunshine.

When ever I have too much moisture In my spawn jars I end up with bacteria..

they are fighting contamination- I see a lot of piss.  Whenever I see any piss in my tubs, I dry out the substrate for a day then resume regular hydration.

Grains are good in my opinion. 24 hour soak. 20 minute simmer. 90 minute pressure cooker 15 psi. Shower or rub finger to elbow in 71% before anything in SAB. Gloves just in case. You get the point.

I’m confident in my sterilization. Jars come out soil white with no viable signs of bacteria.

Fruiting is besting me.

So what am I doing from the previous photos and now? I didn’t even check on them for 4 days after my previous post after the recommendations.

Is the spray bottle the villain here?

It took me a while to get but even if things don't look wet, they could still be hydrated.  There is still moisture inside and it takes longer for the moisture inside to dry up than the surface moisture... you could gauge this by picking up and feeling the weight of the tub.  If the tub gets light, it's time to mist.

I 100% over misted but I had found this same bacteria on one of the new boxes I had done but they are a week old that has had no misting.

How did you inoculate the jars... if it was with a syringe... then a contam could have been hiding.

You can have jars the look completely fine and seem healthy but there may be a sneaky contam in there.

A lot of times those sneaky contams won't present them selves until you start fruiting the tub.
