when to go outdoors with contam...
    #5764682 - 06/18/06 02:59 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Some of you may have seen my post a few days ago on the cultivation forum about my friends contaminated jars. There is not much mold or mycelium yet (jars are only 8 days old). However there is SOME mold and mycelium developed in each of the 4 jars. he gave me the cakes as I plan to give them an outdoor attempt. However I don't have a clue what I'm doing as far as outside contam cakes. This is where I need help. First, should I do Moe's outdoor tek with them or just make a small hole for each in old horse poo piles and lightly cover(or another suggestion if you have a better way)? Secondly, should i leave them in the jars until more colonization (they are housed in a separate building from MY indoor grow not in an incubator, the temperature is about 83 and humidity is about 70 % in the building) has taken effect or should i put the cakes in the ground now and hope that colonization occurs. I live if southwest Michigan and temperature lately has been low 70s - high 80s outdoors lately. Also how should i water, or shouldn't I. I DO have appropriate methods set up so I do not carry contams into the building with my indoor grow ( i love living on a farm many buildings has its perks) from the contaminated cakes. Any advice is greatly appreciated (more than you know) however do not reply with irrelevant information or if you are not sure of what you are talking about.

My concerns are...

If I leave cakes in the jar contamination will continue to spread whereas mother nature has ways of dealing with them.

There is not much growth on the cakes, either contamination or mycelium, yet jsut a very little. Could putting them in the ground too early just shock them or kill them.

Eight days is not long, so there's likely not much mycelium in the jars. If you are sure they are contam'ed, bury them in a hole about 4" deep, cover with manure/compost. You should just get rid of them and start over, and don't count on anything growing from the burial.

There is no 'starting over' necessary. My friend still has some non contaminated jars and I have all non contaminated jars on my grow. It's more of an experimental procedure for myself than anything. However, I've never grown outdoors or had to deal with contams. (I'm positive is contam because its a nasty blue green like you get on leftovers that sit in the fridge too long. However the jars all show signs of both mycelium and mold (more mycelium in 3 out of 4). I wouldn't dream of 'counting on it' for getting mushrooms, but in my eyes if the options are trash or a 5 % chance, 5 % chance is better than nothing. I'm sorry but its very much against my beliefs to be wasteful. Wish me luck.

The best rule of thumb I can offer you is this: If you see contams, get rid of the cakes, casings, bulks, whatever. This is not wasteful; it is preventative maintenance. GL.
