3 different contams in one grow, none of them trich (with pics)
    #7736712 - 12/09/07 01:39 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Alright y'all. My friend started up his first grow in about a year. Was gonna do PF Tek, crumble and case.

These were originally standard BRF jars, everything done in relatively sterile conditions. About two weeks of incubating, all 12 jars (6 eq, 6 haw) were found to have one or two small rust colored spots on them.





The one above was the largest one.


One of them had a gigantic black spot on it.




And one of them had been halfway taken over by a light brown bubbly looking something. This is NOT just BRF or vermiculite.





You can see where the mycelium is trying to battle it out, but it's definitely losing (the brown stuff is in the bottom part of the top pic, the top part in the top pic is just vermiculite)

All 3 of those jars were thrown out.

Are the ones with the little rust spots okay/salvageable? Any idea as to what the other two are? I did a search but couldn't find many posts with pictures to compare to.

Should my friend just throw them all out and start over? Maybe it's about time to build a glove box. Ugh.

yeah I'd toss them, contaminated cakes tend to provide alot more side effects. No fun when you're tripping and you can't breath because your head is filled with mucus.

The red looks like bacteria, prolly smells like shit too, that bacteria will dry out the cake and make it grow real slow. If you were to dunk and rehydrate it you might get some really small crappy flushes, but the mushrooms are likely to grow very mutated. I agree with groomies, go burry it in your compost pile, if you're lucky the tomato plants might have little shroomies at their feet.

My recommendation: work on your lab tech, gett better at being sterile. You might try switching to rye berries with a polyfil lid. Search: "Rye bitches Rye"
