Top grains drying, need SFD advice
    #27073633 - 12/05/20 02:07 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hey community, so I have some jars that refuse to finish colonizing on the top. I was worried that it was hidden contam, but after doing some reading I believe it might be the grains drying out and me needing to fix my lids. The top grains do look very dry and the myc is bruising on top.

The synthetic filter disks I used for this lids were 70mm. The ones with one smooth side and one fuzzy side, and they do feel very flimsy compared to the double smooth surface ones I got years ago. Should I just replace these SFD's with better stronger ones? Is is possible it's drying out through the threads of the lid from not being tight enough?

I have a lot of those 70mm disks left, so if possible I would like to just double up the layer by RTV'ing another piece on top of the existing piece. Advice would be appreciated thank you!

If it is bruising id say dryed out.
Unsure if they would start bruising from bacteria though.
My 2 cents.

How big is the hole underneath those SFDs?  It could be that your jars are drying because there’s too much gas exchange?  Just a thought from someone with minimal growing experience.

Thank you both for the reply.

1kldude, definitely where my mind is at also. I'm leaning towards drying out. I'd like to know the relationship between bruising and contamination though too. Not knowing the relationship leaves me confused.

Jimmy, it is a 1/4in hole thank you for asking, I forgot to add that.

That happens to me a lot.  If the grain is mostly covered I spawn it.  If I’m worried about it I just scrape those few grains off and spawn the rest

Edit:  you can also shake em
