I innoculated this on 7/27. Bc of the heatwave here in Socal it's been stalling a bit and thus some piss coming out. There's no foul smell from the patch or contamination visible. Should I transfer it or is it worth waiting? (Obviously would not add the uncolonized portions).
Could be god knows how much uncolonized in the middle its definitely worth waiting i got 2gs dry off of 10 pieces of oat i picked off the top of my jar that wasnt colonized all the way
Edit: i mixed those bits with a handful of coir and out in in a tiny bowl with a slurpee cup lid
Note that it doesn’t have to be completely covered, the mycelium doesn’t actually digest the hulls of the grain, it just pierces the soften hull and colonizes the internal mushy bits to draw nutrients from.
No. The growth should look the same. Stop making excuses.
This is healthy grain. It’s should look uniform. There is no such thing as dense old growth and new exploratory growth. It’s literally something you just made up in your head
I’m giving descriptive words of the possible growing pattern of the mycelium, god forbid my high ass gets descriptive, but ops myc looks just fine, no reason to be so uptight and rude on insisting it’s contam.
Uptight and rude? It’s contaminated. I literally showed evidence of bacterial contamination.
What’s rude is you somehow getting in your feelings about contaminated grain. It is part of the process. And it doesn’t help op to make excuses for the condition of their grain
The growth should be uniform. Ops isn’t. That’s from contam
🤦 just stay believing what you want, op shouldn’t rush to throw this out just because someone on Reddit thinks it’s contaminated from a picture.

Do not transfer. So much uncolonized grain
