Yeah top fruiting is the prescribed solution for bacterial jars as bad as yours, actually. It’s definitely done, but if I have 20 jars going and one is bacterial I just toss it haha. It’s just situational. But yes you are doing exactly what you’d do to get that jar to fruit. Good work


Does mold and bacteria typically grow up and colonize a top layer of vermiculite (in a jar, not a bulk grow) the way mycelium do or does that verm casing layer effectively keep them contained on the lower floors of the jar?


If you’ve got mold problems chuck it and start over. Anything your cube myc can get to mold can get to also and usually quite a bit faster

What is good sterile practice regarding the scalpel handle? I've got a #7 and when I start a session, I give it a vigorous wipe down with iso, and when I flame my blade, I also flame the first 1.5in or so of the handle. Not to the point of red hot, but I run it through with a few seconds of dwell time. I adopted that practice myself and I'm totally open to the possibility that it's a useless feel good measure.

Ok, so is this how a psuedo casing molds before the myc ever colonized that far? I couldn't understand how bacterial spawn was causing mold on coir that had never touched the spawn, but I suppose the mold appearing on the top doesn't necessarily mean the source of the mold was the environment- I guess it could have been in the spawn and grown up and to the surface?

Yeah. Unless there’s something woefully wrong with your coir, but that’s never step 1. Some molds grow hella fast and will slurp up that free coir water and come out waaaaay before colonization.

Hmm. If you want you can put a seedling mat then put a monotub on top and put the riptide jars in it to get them warmer . May make them move along faster ..may not.. it's prolly just a slow culture.

I'm doing my first brf tek at the moment from a liquid culture I made a while back from an ms during (I know now that this might not have been a good idea) and I just want to see what you more experienced people think about this sharp outline, is it contam or is it normal?

Yeah I could do that, well I dont have a seedling mat, but I have a temperature controlled fermentation fridge that I could use.

What is your temperature for jars and how long do they take to fully colonize?

I have 3 strains goin . TCPC, pan cyan and golden teachers. my golden teacher was inching alon slow so I kicked my heat up between 74-77. Golden teachers going much faster now. I had them at 69-72 at first.This TCPC one I got finished SO fast I blinked and it was done. lol

edit: TCPC colonized in 2 weeks. about another 10-14 days for my Golden teachers but I think with new temps now could be done in 20.

I'll give them a couple of days, I tried unscrewing the lids more and don't want to change more then one variable at a time, but if that doesn't help I'll try to increase temperature, at least for one jar and see of it makes any change, thanks for you thoughts on this :biggrin:

How big are those jars? I suspect they're a little deep for BRF and the bottom is not getting enough gas exchange. (Wide-mouth half-pints are the gold standard - fairly wide and shallow.) Not much you can do about it but wait longer for it to colonize though. Next time you could try putting 2/3 of the substrate in those jars.

I think this got buried...  Nesco makes a cheap lil unit people seem happy with.  Go to a second hand store like goodwill and you might find one for super cheap.


I second Nesco, I have 6 trays and run it 24/7 and have been for many years.  It looks like cheap piece of crap but it has never let me down

Thank you! I don't know the exact size of them since I used what I had laying in my apartment so they're slightly different sizes and this one is actually the smallest of them and the larger ones are doing much better. This one looks a lot wetter than than the other ones but perhaps it's because of the poor gas exchange you mentioned. I guess I need to invest in some smaller wide mouth jars like you say but I'm happy you're not saying it's contam at least.

I got some pan cyan LC on 11/25, I used an SAB and squirted some from the LC syringe to some agar the same day. About 3/4 days later, the agar colonized with what someone identified as yeast which makes sense since it is commonly in agar. I assumed I did something wrong and left the agar on a shelf next to a bunch of jars that colonized with other strains. On 12/20, the agar started to grow some white patches that I assume are mycelium. I got bored and transferred some to a jar with brown rice. That jar (1/2 qt) finished colonizing yesterday and I haven’t really thought much about it. I did a break and shake a few times and it never turned green after. The mycelium is a bit fluffier than my other jars. Here is a pic. I was wondering if they can sit on agar like that for weeks before growing from LC or if it’s likely the agar got contaminated somehow. I am also insure what’s up with the brownish blob. Thanks in advance, I hope my post wasn’t too long, I would love to be able to spawn to bulk. I have been reading everything I can about them for the last few months.
