contam and LC questions
    #7634994 - 11/14/07 12:52 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

hey, this is my first grow and i have a few questions.
Jar A

In Jar A the contaminate dark blue/green color. most of the jar is myc. except for a small percentage. Would there be any saving this jar? This jar is done or just about done colonizing.

Jar B

Jar B the contaminate is a brownish yellow. this jar is not complete yet. would there any way to save this one?

Bottle A

Bottle A is the LC that I think is good to use. may or may not be done, how do you tell? it has a cloudy white sediment (which would be the myc.). It just must have been shaken up a little bit at the point of this picture.

Bottle B

Bottle B I am not so sure of. It hasnt gotten cloudy. it kinda looks like the spore are on the bottom but little to no growth has occurred.

Any help, corrections or suggestions would be greatly appriated.
Thanks for your time,
EvAde35

Although i may advise others in a general way regarding all types of mushroom grows, and may even post question from other forums about growing "active" mushrooms, i only grow non-"active" mushrooms and edibles.

So you shouldn't even have to worry about saving these gross contam jars.

only real way to tell if an LC is good is to use it to grow with.

or look at it under a microscope.

you can't tell just by looking at it for sure.
you'll need to grow it out or put it under a microscope.

The LC's should look like boogers, if black spots are starting to appear, then it's probably no good.

I'm not sure about cloudy sediment, I've had 2 jars that started to grow some sort of sediment that looked like OJ pulp. But then black spots started to grow in the sediment and i'm pretty sure (99.9%) it wasn't myc. It didn't look anything like the other jars with boogers.

Myc looks like boogers in the liquid and from my little experience, grow into more of a round shape than just random sediment.

Just my 2c
