Collapsed verm barrier, will this cause a problem?
    #26903367 - 08/28/20 12:37 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

So, im going for my last PF-tek grow before taking the next step to monotubs and agar work. I got 5 succesful grows behind me with minimal contam rates. Usually below 10%

So far all the jars are colonizing and shows no signs of contams. The oldest one being 8 days

But the thing is. The verm barrier in alot of my jars has collapsed and are kinda running down on the sides of the substrate. Im using plastic jars rather then glass ones as per reccomendation from å friend that has done this for years. But i do suspect that the plastic jars are the reason for the collapse, they prolly got warped while Pc'ing. Or the substrate might have dried out, but i was careful with using a double layer of foil while Pc'ing, so i kinda doubt that

So to the question, do you guys think this will cause problems for me? Will it hinder colonizing? Invite contams? Im not gonna touch these jars at all, i don't want to move the verm barrier around more then it's already been moved.

Here is a picture

It's not optimal but judging by the pictures, I think you will be OK.

You're good man, assuming that's proper micropore tape on your lids, the Verm barrier is there as a filter, you essentially have two filters, the tape and the verm barrier.

I've done brf jars with no verm at all, just two layers of micropore and I didn't notice a higher rate of contamination at all, im sure there would be a higher contamination rate, but it's not a noticeable difference on a few jars.
