Can you reuse jars that get contaminated?

Ultrasonic misters all shit after a short while, don't buy one that you can't get diaphragms for.

Hey man, can you tell me the process that you use? Or point me to a tek that outlines using this kit and this method?

I have some spores on the way and will be purchasing the bulk kit this weekend. I looked at their directions and it seems pretty straightforward, but you use a tub and not the bag?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Google "bulk tek mushroom" or monotub tek. Here's an example.

If you are starting from presterilized sub bought online, obviously skip any steps you may find about pressure cooking your gains blablabla. You'll want to focus on your tub design. Use can use a clear container if you line the bottom with something opaque so no light reaches you sub from below the fill level. Like this,download (3).jpg

SO, I got my sterilized bags, and fucked them up (probably). If forgot to wipe down the injection port with an alcohol swab. Think they are fucked? Time to order two more...

Look for overnight growth that takes over. For instance, if you see a whispery white- Grey growth that grows several inches over night, then yes you have a contamination. But if its something small you may be ok because the mycelium can fight small contamination and eat it up. You can also use a magnifying lens and the sun to scorch a small contam if you catch it young. About five minutes twice a day for two or three days will kill it.

If you have money you can get another bag of grain and just observe the questionable grains in the mean time to learn what a contamination looks like should it arise.

Thanks, man. This is my first try at a bulk bag. I've had various success with BRF, sometimes good, sometimes all contamed. So I kinda know what to look for, but bulk might be different. After I knocked them up, it dawned on me that I skipped that step!
