quick colonization questionn

Howdy do de fellers. Used pf tek birthed 6 1/² pint jars on the 9th got nice white action globbers by the 16th. After I spored em up I threw black electrical tape over holes do I need to take the tape off 1 of the 4 holes to let them breath? I'd say 4 are 70% other 2 are 50 percent. House stays 70 - 78 degree love Oregon weather

Trying to upload some pics but keep getting errors from phone. My noob mistake was not putting a thick layer of Verm on top I put a nice layer but not enougj i thinkp, so some jars are growing through top layer. So I'll take tape off ones that are not growing through.. or all?

Should I loosely wrap foil instead of tape for precautions?

No. If you have a verm layer, and you don't dick with your jars, and it's not overly wet... they will be fine. The verm layer acts as a barrier for contaminants that may enter the holes in your lids. If you cover the holes, you may restrict gas exchange, causing your jars to colonize slower and potentially allowing contamination.

remove all the electrical tape, it will choke the mycelium when it grows bigger and stronger and "exhales" more co2 that needs to leave out through those holes. some put micropore tape over, but as MarchHare and capn says they gotta be able to breathe.
foil over the jars just gets the dry verm barrier moist and ruins it's purpose. leave the jars alone and the verm barrier undisturbed and you'll be fine!

if u have holes in those lid and no dry verm barrier, start praying brother!! i don't even know what one can do in that situation?? maybe micropore, and then put inside tote to have less exposure to air. id imagine polyfill to be a bitch to stuff inside a closed, inoculated, jar
-------------------- A few thoughts on cultivation MICROBIAL HUSBANDRY!!!! The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

There is a dry layer but its a small one, I've been praying since there birth, I've had them in a tub already. Next round I'll make sure dry verm fills rest of jar to the top. Only 1 jar seems the myc grew over top layer, guess I'll know in the next few days for contams

OK so almost all jars are ready besides a little pinky nail on the bottem of the jars, do I take the jars from dark space to lighted room for pinning in 2 days ? Or wait 7 days dunk n roll and play it that way?? For the sgfc is a light fixture needed or room light work's??

once it fills in start counting down 7 days

it should be getting ambient lighting throughout the whole process but ambient lighting during colonizing and direct lighting for fruiting, a light as foot or so above or beside the sgfc works great but a room light and a bright window will also do great
