Hello Everyone,

I inoculated 6 brf substrate jars about 3 weeks ago. I don't like the look of them. I don't see trich but there are sludgy looking areas. No noticeable smell but I read not to sniff the jars in case something really unhealthy is growing in there. I got one opinion that it could be bacteria. What are your thoughts?

Any tips on why this particular contam got the better of my jars? (if that's indeed what I'm looking at). I will say that they spent some time at a higher temperature than I would have liked.

Also, if it is bacteria, I think I'd like to toss them and not mess around with watching to see how it plays out. What would be the safest way? I don't feel comfortable putting them as in the trash in case I don't someone noticed or something. But is it wise to handle them to dump them outside?

Thank you in advance for your help!

In my experience when substrate presses against the glass and looks blotchy it is indicative of a bacterial infection. If you remove the foil and smell a foul odor it must be bacterial.

Good luck!

Spray everything with 70% ethanol or 70% isopropanol and work in a still air box. Everything that goes in that box is sprayed, hands gloved, inside of the box sprayed, surroundings your arms sprayed and wear clean clothes. Contamination rate will drop waaay down :smile:

Thank you for the tips!

I had a successful grow and now two failed attempts with contam. I think I got lax with the sterilization. I did not spray my arms for sure.

Thanks again for the replies!
