One good, one bad?
    #7441408 - 09/22/07 06:26 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I've had three mycobags tucked away and inoculated in my closet for about 9-10 days. This afternoon, after seeing NO signs of growth from any of them, I was absolutely blown away when I opened the closet and saw...

BAG 1



BAG 2




Now let me say: this is my first grow attempt but I have been doing my homework. What I see there are the beginning signs of mycelia colonization in the first two pics and possible cobweb contamination in the second two pics (the third bag shows no growth at this time). I feel this is the case for two reasons. The color of the possible cobweb growth is more grey/off-white than the first two pics which look like healthy mycelia...compact and pure white. The second reason is that, while the healthy growth is small and tightly networked, the second shots show a massive and apparently overnight explosion of growth in the bag. I'm going to keep observing both bags, the second especially, as I suspect the whole bag will be overrun with cobweb contaminants within a few days if I'm correct.

Does anyone have any input or suggestions? Thanks in advance for any of your feedback.

first did you inoculate into grain or on top if you inoculated in the mycelium will take over the middle before it reaches the surface thus taking a little longer to colonize. as for contam it dosent look to me like cobweb but the picture isnt top quality. like you said look back once a day youll know if its cobweb or not....

I inoculated above the grain and along the bag wall side. I just suspect contamination because the growth cluster itself is half the size of my fist over one night's time. The other bag clusters are no bigger than a dime each in diameter...plus the coloring and density aren't even similar.

Bag 2 and bag 3 are definitely contaminated with cobweb and green mold. Bag one is suspect for black mold. The mere fact that it's been 10 days to get to what you have tells a sad story. Keep an eye on bag one.... I would shake it up a bit to encourage growth. You don't want to wait days and days to see what it's up to. Shake it up, encourage growth, and that way you'll find out if its shrooms or contams a lot quicker.

Where do you see green mold? Granted, my camera shots are lackluster, nonetheless, I don't see any green in ANY bag thankfully.

Also, my pics are of two bags only. The first two pics in the OP are from "bag 1" and the second two pics are from "bag 2"..."bag 3" is not shown as there has been zero growth nor contams observed.

Try the injection port bags. They work alot better.

What are the advantages, specifically? I would assume that under sterile conditions, the tape covering the injection site would be just as clean.

I haven't been growing long but bag 2 definitely looks contaminated.

Yeah...I just can't imagine that in a controlled situation the two bags would exhibit clean growth at such different rates. The second bag has a fucking HUGE cluster of wispy grey-ish fuzz...slightly strandy. The first is so much more typical of early growth...straight textbook in my opinion. Either way, I'm psyched to see my first bag ever having success, despite one having possible contams and the third showing nothing at all. I can't wait to see progress!

Sorry, I thought they were 3 different bags. The pics have a green hue to them.... NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH "TRICH" which is brighter green. Penicillin mold and common molds found on bread are not "bright green"

Yeah, the room has poor lighting and my flash is goofy, sorry.

yeah, the second bag definitely looks like a goner. It looks exactly like the early stages of some jars I did a little while back, which eventually turned green.

Here's to the first step...
