Is this contamination?
    #28002763 - 10/17/22 07:51 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)







Hello all :-)

Newbie here. I was hoping you might be able to help? I am completely new to all this and this is my third attempt so far at cultivation… I thought the white was just part of the mycelium I inoculated the substrate (grain) with… but the more I read about contaminants, the more I’m worried this is another lost batch 👀🙏😭

Apologies, I appreciate this is probably asked a lot and you are all probably fed up of newbies coming along and showing their naivety… 👀🤦♂️😂

Thanks y’all ☮️ ✌️

Peace, love and magic  ☮️ ✌️ ❤️

Nothing screams contamination to my eyes. But wait for more experienced opinions.

there are different types of contam. when you see mold its time to pick what you can and toss the sub. i dont see any mold

bacteria is more subtle, newbies usually dont spot it. it stresses the myc and makes it thick and slow. bacterial subs will often still fruit, but they will be weaker and usually end up succumbing to mold faster

im gonna take a guess that you ordered a bag in the mail. these grows are almost always bacterial. but you got some fruits out of it so be happy. keep harvesting until you it stops producing or you see mold

links in my sig for a better grow next time

That looks like tonnes of knots. You'll soon know if it's mold, I'd imagine that's gonna produce well though.
Good luck.

Thanks y’all for taking the time to reply.

And yeah, one of “those” noobs who went to google and took the first and easiest way … it’s been a good learning curve either way so I’m ready to play with the big boys now I guess. I just find identifying contamination so tricky. Thanks for the links in your signature
