Title: Weird Water Droplets (Pictures)
Post by: PyramidHead1128 on April 30, 2009, 03:47:08 PM
Hey,
I really havent been counting days, but I think its been roughly 14 or 16 of them after i inoculated the jars.
They've been fine from my knowledge until i noticed weird water drops on the inside of the jars.  Im not sure if its from putting too much water in the jars or if its just some kind of weird bubbles, but they look like this:

I doubt its anything to be afraid of, but i just wasnt expecting it and wanna know if its affecting the growth of the mycelium.
Thanks.

All these people telling you not to worry and have yet failed to tell you what it is.  ^_^

It's condensation and it's perfectly normal for it to happen.

Baph got it. Its condensation forming on the colder surface of the glass. As mycelium colinises and metobolises food, it will produce heat, making your jars slightly warmer than the ambient room temp. Its the same thing that happens when you heat your house and its cooler outside, you get condensation on your windows, or when you take a cold beer out of the fridge.
