Unsure of Contamination Type - (Popcorn Substrate!)
    #6267425 - 11/09/06 10:28 PM (17 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys, this jar was inoculated with 0.5cc PES Hawaiian on 11/4/06 and is showing signs of growth (I think) but also has tiny green/blue dots on the popcorn. I have 1 other jar that isn't pictured that is like this one. Can anyone confirm this as a contamination or is it normal for popcorn? This is my first grow.



Thanks, much appreciated.

Definitely a mold contamination. Pressure cook the jar again before you open it so you don't release those spores.

I'm sure it was introduced at inoculation. Molds are killed easily in the PC.

Pressure cooking the spores does not phase them?

Nah spores will die but if you are going to reuse the jar u need to PC it first , or just toss it all.

Pressure cooking will kill just about anything. I suspect your mold was introduced after you pc'd the corn. What kind of filter is on your jar? Also, leaving the foil on can get condensation on your filter, allowing contaminants to colonize right through.
