stopped growth?

so i made some brf jars recently (ig ~1 month ago) and since lil more than a week or so i havent noticed any more growth. theyre all ~40% colonized now (regular pickle jars). after noticing an apparent slow down in growth i made some markings on the jars a week ago to see exactly where theyre at. now a week later some have spread from that marking (like 2cm max, so not that much) but most havent spread anywhere. are they wasted or should i keep going?

If they're still growing then let em keep going. It can take over 2 weeks for spores to germinate sometimes.

It happens I got 5 jars atm over 2 months old now 90-95% ish that are moving at about 1cm every week...grrrr
-------------------- Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

You got contamination in all them bad boys. Those jars are waaaay too big for BRF. Half pints are best IMO.

perfect examples of bacterial myc, all of them
like screwup said you cant do big jars of brf. half pints are as big as you should go

Yep lots of bacteria. Your verm is too course also. If that course verm is your dry layer that's also gonna let a lot of shit in

I would take a spoon and scrape out small chunks till I got close to the un collonzed and just toss the rest. Maybe leave a half inch gap.

ah shame.... will do as happyhigh suggested... what causes bacterial contam? regular heat sterilization doesnt kill them right? also i got micropore tape on top of the jars so the coarse verm filter shouldnt be that much of a problem id guess?

Improper sterilization and syringes naturally carry bacteria. No need for MP tape if you have dry verm layer.

This is a good example of sectoring in jars, right?
When there’s a defined border where the myc stops it’s safe to assume bacteria has colonized the “empty” part?
