LC questions
    #7665316 - 11/22/07 12:26 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I have a few 500ml (Malt/Dex) LCs incubating...two are B+ and one is EC...

B+ 1 = stalled, signs of possible growth, not sure, definate SMALL amounts of white among the brown sediments

B+ 2 = unusually clear compared to the others, sediments are "sticking" together at the bottom...almost a CLEAR algae (contam?) is holding the sediments as one...weird...throw it out?

EC = signs of growth within a few days, amazing speed, put on stirrer...

So should I throw out the B+ 2?

And my magnetic stirrer is homemade, right now it has a quarter inch or so vortex. Is this to much for 24/7 stir? (I can off center the jar to decrease stir speed)

Thanks alot.

...ps its so nice to have SOME signs of growth without jars breaking and blood and needle stabbinz through my fuckin thumb!

Wait at least overnight and see what it looks like, especially if it's clear.

Hold off on throwing that one out. It may take up to a week to show up. IME contaminated jars have always been cloudy but not all contaminated jars will be cloudy, thats just been my experience.

The mycelium in the LC will look like sperm floating around in there.
Sometimes it's little individual "balls of fluff" and other times it's thick milky sperm. ALSO, Mycelium won't just Stay at the bottom it will be suspended inside the jar, floating. Although it will probably float just offthe bottom.

i have had one on my stirrer for a few days and checked on it for the first time since then...(thought I saw top layer myc growth is why)

anyways, It is just cloudy as fuck. Like yeah, sorta sperm like, but I know they are only suppose to be 50% (or so) colonized at full colonization.

Does this mean it's a contam, or just grew to much/to fast?

thanks again.

Contaminated LC's look remarkably like a good LC. Only way to be sure is to shoot up a test jar. Soo....shoot away and then let us know.
