Hopefully it's not the same stuff I had because I ended up having to toss those cakes. I thought the mycelium was fighting off but when I split open a cake I saw that the "small" visible portion was just the tip of the iceberg of the infection that lie at the core of the cake. Anyway best of luck.i did notice one of my jars looks infected but im not sure.(1st time grower) its red with little egg looking things in it, they look the size of poppy seeds so idk... my eyes could be playing tricks on me or smoethin..but the mycelium is about 75% covered in the jar and that shit is towards the bottom so i think if it is a bacteria or whatever the mycelium might fight it off.....
And Jollygreen, I would remove the foil entirely. The dry vermiculite at the top of the jar functions as a filter because it traps contaims before they can get to the nutritional substrate beyond them. Jars at this stage do not need much FAE exchange, but some FAE in this stage seems to lead to boosted growth and less time in the jars.
Check out my grow, I just birthed one in the FC and I'm starting to get my first pins.
