Looks good so far. How many CC's per jar? How many holes in your lids?
You can take that foil off the lid and let'er breath.

1 cc per jar 4 holes in each lid. tried to get .25 cc's a hole. just wondered if he took foil off if the contams could get in. but u answered that i guess lol he doesn't have any tapre over the holes tho? is that ok? doens't have anything covering the holes but has a dry verm layer. thnx for the reply. keep u posted. he said not all jars have 4 grow points tho. some have 3 and one has only 1? but for the 1st time not all bad! just maybe human error. heres a few more pix. more pix inoculation chamber

The dry verm layer is protection enough against contams.
Feel free to add holes to the lid with only 1 hole. It's good for those jars to breath. I've taken lids off jars to make larger holes for LC syringes, and had no contams. Verm will create a barrier layer.
Foil can come off.
Keep tape off the holes unless it's a breathable micropore tape (i.e. Nexcare by 3M - Pharamcy buy).
Cambos are quick colonizers, and fun fruit.

Just wait a few days after colonization and then birth them,no need to wait till the pin,You should look for "Crumble and case" teks now

O and yes you are correct you don't need much light at all,it is a pinning trigger for sure but 4 hrs a day is more than enough to tell them which way is up

i am a n00b and i can say i have pins out of my crumbled and cased brf and no pins from whole cakes. case'm all they like the microclimate so they can sneak up on you.

I will be in this same boat soon enough. My plan is for the first couple jars I will just grow with the cakes. Another few I will case as whole cakes, and the remainder will be crumbled.
Experimentation for yourself seems to be a good indicator of what will work best. Following the proven teks is the best idea, but using more than one seems a good way to learn the ropes quick.

so if u decide to case what can u use for the casing? just vermiculite? if so do u just cook it to sterilize it? also how many cakes do u use per casing? whats the benefits of casing to cakes? more yield? also harvest time u can dunk cakes and double end case to have more flushes, can u flush casings? if so how do u flush a casing and do u get 3 or 4 flushes out of them? just curious my friend is new and we been reading and reading but just confused about casings instead of cakes? he doesn;t want to use poo or anything either. just keep it simple. oh and i love how it pops up and helps u find threads when u posta question! this site is awesome! please answer questions asap i am bout to read more. this stuff is interesting!

ok its been a few days still and its about 23 days in the jars. a few still have the bottoms not colonised most do. should he put the ones that are done out? or wait for um all to be ready? some are taking more time and 1 still is 3/4th the way colonized only?. just curious if he should start the ones yet in the chamber.
