you want wide mouth jars. This way your cake will come out of the jar. If it said wide mouth, your good. If it said regular mouth, you will have a problem.

Just make sure they are round, wide mouth, and the right size for you tek.
Your jars are fine. :smile:

well they are regular mouth jars but they look slightly tapered so would it work and slide out ok for making the cakes?

if the opening is smaller than the base it will not slide nicely.

Your jars are just fine. I used those exact same one and they're doing quite well. The only downsides to these are 1) that they probably take longer to finish colonizing due to larger surface area, and 2) they don't birth as easily, especially if you have major in vitro pinning like I did. My cakes still made it out just fine once slammed against a phone book until they dislodged. I do wish I had been able to find the wide mouth jars, but the regular mouth ones are perfectly suitable for the PF tek.

PE can be a tricky strain, good luck with that one.

Couldn't tell you why exactly, I just hear about issues with it, and I know someone who tried to grow it on PF cakes and didn't do so hot. There were other factors involved so I could be totally wrong. I just have suspicions PE has some weird genetic things going on. I'm sure you'll do fine though, don't let me discourage you or anything - good luck!

I used those same jars too. It is possible to birth them, and remember the cake shrinks as the mycelium grows, making it easier to birth.

My only advice would be to flip it once the bottom starts to colonize, because otherwise they tend to stall and the upper part of the cake will dry out and want to fruit while the bottom is stalling.
