Contamination? First grow
    #27041602 - 11/16/20 04:59 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hello everyone, this is my first grow (p. cubensis), today (10 days since inoculation) I found this greenish thing in my most promising jar. It is located between two myceliums.
Is it fucked? Should I just dispose of it?
Anyway I would like to know what killed my dear jar.
Thanks!

Yep, that jar is toast. What kind of jars are those? Would be super hard to get a cake out of...

Doesn't really matter what the contam is as they're all dealt with in the same way.

I'd wager it came from not pressure cooking the jars for long enough.

Mold dies before boiling temps. That contamination came from technique or the inoculant.

Ohhhhhhh:sad:

Yes, I could not find the proper jars, so I'm using a variety of unproper ones (including 350 ml plastic containers). This one is also rather large, 0.7 or 1 liter I think. My plan was to carefully break it when needed.

I don't have a pressure cooker, I sterilized it in a pot, 2 hours after water started boiling.

I'm also keeping the jars in an incubator, at around 26 C, because my house is cold (like 19-20 C) and they were growing slowly. Now I'm thinking maybe it was a bad decision.

Another obvious mistake with this jar was that I made inoculation holes with a knife, and they are much bigger than needed. Did not put a tape on them either, although there is a layer of dry vermiculite. My newer jars and containers have small holes and I'm using masking tape.


If anyone knows what type of contamination this is please tell me. This is my first failure and I'm curious.

(And I think I'll keep this jar, just separate from others. Want to see what will happen to it)
