Its a sattelite bacterial colony. It happens. Nothing to worry about, just tranfer before the myc gets to it

New to this and am hoping someone with (real) experience could pm me to answer some questions on my mind. I have 3 different strains (LC into grain bags only 6 days in at this point) going into five106qt monotubs. I would love any advice and much thanks in advance

Most of the people here with experience prefer to share said experience on the open boards where multiple people can benefit from the answers

Ask here, then the answer can help others too.

What specifically do you want to know?

My first advice would be to grow shoebox size before growing monotub size, but do I assume you've already purchased the big ones?

Will still work but with shoeboxes if one is contammed you don't have to throw all out.

Also just easier to do more smaller grows, and best to start easy then go harder.

I have some trouble starting with agar. By now I did a total of 24 plates, and all of them got contam at some point.
I tried to practice cloning a lot though, so I guess that needs a lot of practice to get right.

So I thought I should start streaking spores now, since one time I had partial success with it.
So three days ago I streaked spores on a plate, no myc so far but already a matte bacterial halo forming. That’s what always happens, and it’s getting frustrating.

I‘m working in a SAB, I disinfect my hands with 70% iso, I flame sterilize my inoculation loop with a butane torch.
I‘m scraping the spores from the print, that may be the source of contam. Then I‘m lifting the lid carefully, to not hover fingers over the plate. Then I‘m streaking. That’s it.

Though I‘ve seen that bacterial halos are kinda common, my myc tends to not even start growing. Can’t tell with these plates since it’s been just three days, but that’s why I’d like to ask if there’s still a chance. Clone samples also had white wispy growths that must have been mold, which possibly stopped the myc right at the start.

You could try cabin sequestration. You def gonna have to clean up the spore plates.

Also if you post pics of you problem plates people can give advice about them.

I swabbed these 4 plates from a spore print 1 week ago, is it all bacteria? All the other plates are clean so I know it wasn't my pouring.



Also I poured another 10 plates 2 days ago and left them uncovered in my SAB. They still have condensation on the top, should I just leave them longer?

Only B has bacteria on the plate, the rest look clean so far.

So that is mycelium growing on all of them? It just doesn’t look very white unless I’m holding it up to the light.

If I soak a spent cake and then cut it into smaller chunks, is there a better chance of inoculation points from being cut up?

That’s exactly the kind of halo my plates are getting.

Cabin sequestration sounds good though, I‘ll also try Marcus Mycelius‘ trench tek.

Okay those pictures better illustrate the halo, definitely some form of bacteria riding along there.

So now that I am not keeping my totes sealed, and I have kept the lids upside down from spawning to bulk on all sizes of totes (32, 16 & 6 quart), what is the best way to monitor the amount of moisture and humidity in the totes?

My old method was keeping the lids sealed with the latches and keeping and eye on the moisture on the walls and lids of the totes.  When it looked the droplets looked sparse or drier than normal, I would mist the tote and mist the sides of the tote. I also use the large filter discs on the sides of my older totes which are 32qt (and 66qt which I am not using right now).  The 16 & 6 quart totes, I am just using the lids upside down.
