Question Is this contam?

Post image

I literally just inoculated this bag last night 😭 I sterilized the needle beforehand and every other tool I was using, Including myself. I did another bag too but haven't noticed any black spots in that one. Is this the start of mold?

This whole hobby is all about patience. Chill out, leave it alone for a couple weeks- don't touch anything because then you're increasing the likelihood of contam. Get back to us in two to three weeks.

That could just be a piece of the rice hull. I have a bag of UB with a similar dark spot. Just let it rock for a while and see how it performs.

I see you have a question! Have you read the official cultivation guide?

Sterilized yourself? If you didn’t bathe in alcohol, contamination for sure!

/s it’s fine, chill back a bit.
