Ahhhh! Invitro pin w/o full popcorn colonization! *PIC*

A popcorn jar is ~70% colonized. It's been in the dark, away from FAE, with a polyfil lid. When examined today (it is every 3 days) I noticed a 1" pin!!!! shittt, what do I do? It's going to be spawned to hpoo, but when should I do it? I'm under the impression that once pinning has been triggered, colonization stops. Is this correct? Is it hosed? Also, the pin has a really dark cap, so i'm assuming it's an abort, but it's pretty tall for an abort. First pic: pin
 Second pic: back side
 It's been colonizing for 5 weeks (this B+ has been a really slow colonizer. usually 4-5 weeks for a 1/2 pt BRF jar)

just empty the jar and spawn it.
take out the pin and eat it.
you're fine.

That's bullshit mitch. Why do you keep telling people all the wrong stuff in every damn thread? You don't know what the hell you're talking about so quit pretending.
Friend, that jar looks like it has wetspot bacterial contamination. That's the reason it pinned when it did. The survival mechanism of the fungi sensed danger and the natural reaction is to reproduce. That's why it fruited when it did. Even the parts of the popcorn that have mycelium, have a very weak looking growth. The greasy appearance of the grains, especially where they touch the glass give away bacillus.
Here's what a popcorn jar of mycelium should look like. RR

still a jerk eh rodger ? lol guess that's why no one misses you when you go away. in all your puffed up strutting to show off your vast knowledge and humble poor mitch you neglected to give shroomballa any useful advice, typical.
shroomballa i'd dump your pcorn out in a tray and let it set 48 hours to recover, after that discard any uncolonized pcorn and case the good stuff remaining.

I can see where RR is coming from, it gets so frustrating continually fixing the bad advice that others give...
but after looking closely at the pic, then even blowing it up a bit in Photoshop, i have to disagree about this being a bacterial contam, and if it is, its at the first stages.
there is no tell tale sign of bacteria.
what i did notice tho, is the corn doesnt seem fully hydrated.. its hardley swollen at all .. it looks at most 50% to its max level..
its hard to get popcorn fully hydrated with out at least a minor bursting /crack in the corns shell.... i see NONE on the uncolonized corn
my advice is to give it a few days.. if it is bacterial it will definately show itself .. keep it isolated of course

I did think that was kind of rude but I don't know the whole story.
I also think that wetspot is a good diagnosis.

The greasy appearance of the kernels is what indicates wetspot. I never recommend trying to 'save' a contaminated jar. That leads to more problems later. The jars aren't dry, or the invitro fruit couldn't have formed. A slightly dry popcorn jar will actually colonize faster than a wet one. A common mistake is to think that wetspot contamination is, or is caused by, wet jars.
I jumped poor mitch's ass because nobody can keep up with his post whoring bad advice in every thread. He's on his first grow and has never produced a crop, a grow log, or a single picture of a grow. His 1000+ posts in less than four months are almost entirely posting totally bad advice by misinterpreting what he reads in other people's posts. Pull up his posts and read them, starting from the first. You'll see the steady progression from asking noob questions, to answering with authority like someone with actual experience. Now open his journal and see all the 'monstermitch's teks'. They are cut and pasted from mine and other experienced growers posts, then he puts his name on them and calls them his own. That is plagiarism, plain and simple.
In several years on all the boards, this is the first time I've ever called anyone down for bullshitting. Well, that is except for you hippie3. I suppose that makes twice now. I apologize if I've offended anyone. edited because I spelled plagiarism wrong the first time. RR

pardon me for just getting a camera. didn't know pictures were a requirement. first grow? not even close. did I know less when I came here? Of course.
sorry, can't be god like you.
p.s. my advice was very poor. wether it is bacteria or not... do not spawn that jar. despite what anyone else may say, I personally go with RR's assesment. Though right now I'd rather not.
I would toss that jar. no reason to listen to me though.

I have a tendency to agree here, I myself do not see any wetspot but time will tell. Personally I'd shake it and if it recovers there was never any infection and by shaking full colonization will easily occur if of course moisture content of the grain is right. GL
