Not sure if it’s slime or strange contamination…
    #27745769 - 04/21/22 07:54 PM (2 years, 8 months ago)


Friend of mine gave me a grow bin with all the fixings to do some work with (bag method).
Only have ever worked with small jars and self sterilization of all items involved.
The bags came pre-sterilized (yes I’ve I already read up on the pro and cons of this)
Threw in some PE some FS and some SBK made up between 4 different bags.
Inoculated in a sterile and breeze free environment, sterilizes syringes and made sure that all my bags have room to breathe and were mixed correctly.

It’s now day 7 and I have yet to see any mycelium growth out of any of the bags, yet I do seem to spot what looks like some kinda slime forming in the grains in 2 bags.
I’m not getting impatient at all but I do find it very odd to not see any signs of heathy mycelium and now to see this goop form.
Spore are solid been using this spot for over 11+ years, I’m guessing it was the bags I was given?

*side note* Did not realize till around day 4 the spawn bags should not be wrapped up tight and left on its sides*
Pretty sure I locked in moisture and fucked myself.
Going to grab more bags to start up new batch but I would like anyone’s opinion on what the hell this is in my bags.

Hmmm. Seems to have a lot of burst grains too. Just another of those things to be conscious of when you do start prepping your own material. I know there's tons of those little things to keep in mind. I don't know if you're big on taking notes, but I couldn't do this without them. I've got a TBI that messes with me sometimes. I'd never got off the ground without notes. So thats also one of those little tricks that makes this all a little easier. Welcome by the way! :mushroom2:

Thank you! Very happy and humbled to be here and now.
I appreciate you’re time and honestly on this subject.
Please forgive my ignorance on certain subjects, this is my first grow since 2013.

I normally use vermiculite and brown rice flower, that I have much experience with.
This time around however these grains bags came pre-sterilized (should have re-prepped in hind-site), and am not used to working with grains as a substrate. Would you mind going into more detail about the burst grains and the effect overall on the spawn?
Also…
Are these bags hopeless?
Anything I can do?

Also, huge on taking notes! Sadly I cannot locate my journal with all my tips and tidbits I wrote I’ve the years so I’m working from memory rn.
