Overcooking WBS

I realize exploded kernels are the bane of WBS growers (for reason I've yet to fully understand). But can you overcook the WBS? I'm not worried about lack of moisture in my jars, but I am worried that if the WBS is cooked for too long, will spores not take hold of it? I have 4 1/2 pt WBS jars and 4 1/2 pt BRF jars going right now. My WBS jars just look more dark/not as yellow/orange as other people's pictures. But I also added some verm into the mix, so maybe that is why

why would you add verm to it. I do not think that you can over cook it. If you did than it would be obvious. Dark color isn't a sign of over cooking it. Exploded kernels and burnt/crusty seed at the bottom of the pan might be a sign but you are smart enough not to allow that to happen, Aren't you? Doubtful!
Anyways,Stop looking at your jars and thinking that something is wrong. Leave them alone and please do not tell us that you have them sitting on a heating pad
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

I haven't found exploded kernels to be that big of a problem on top of that. I have had jars fully colonize that would be considered a "starchy mess".

Yes, you can overcook it. Once it has been over-cooked the spores won't colonize it as fast or maybe not at all. Do you like burnt toast? Burnt beans? They don't either but they can't complain about it so they eat it very, very, very, slowly or not at all.
Does the Tek call for over-cooked WBS? If it doesn't, then start over. There is a reason these teks say what they do-because the way they tell you is the way it should be done, no excuses. Make no additions or substitutions until you have a couple of grows under your belt then you can/will/should experiment, but not until then. That way you get a good feel of what they need and want from you so you can adjust for it in your future ventures.
