I would wait at least 2 weeks to check on them. They wont be finished beofre then so you dont have to worry about that and 2 weeks gives enough time for lots of mycelium to start growing so when you check on them it is a pleasant surprise. Also, the more often you check on them before mycelium has taken over most of the jar the more likley it is that you will get contamination. Good luck!

I'd say wait two weeks, but I'd be a hypocrite, lol. I leave the foil on my jars and check them almost everyday, as long as you don't remove the tin foil you're fine but you're going to drive yourself crazy at how long it takes to fully colonize jars, seriously. Mine are going really fast, but even at the two week mark I'm can't stop thinking, "maybe next week they'll be ready!" I'm nearing 100% right now, but either way I'm still going to wait a week after that until birthing so I end up being more anxious than I'd originally planned. Best idea, wait at least two weeks, and if you're not leaving them covered, then absolutely don't look at them what-so-ever, just let them be for 2-3 weeks and hope for the best. Otherwise, you may upset the mold spores in the carpet or air and end up contaminating everything, despite the nice layer of verm on top, I've done it myself.

For the fucking win!! I'm killing myself right now, I feel like everyday I'm just going to explode, especially near then end because everything just seems to slow to a crawl for the last week or so.  You just can't see what's happening inside the cakes as well as outside. :mad2:  That's ok though, I know soon enough I'll be birthing those mofo's!

Checking it everyday will just make it seem longer and increase chances of contam. But if you want to check it everyday then go for it. If you can, try to check it once a week.

You have foil on top or not? You'll prolly be fine, but I like to keep the foil on top so that I can keep any contams from getting into my jars by just lifting the foil enough to see what's going on. Oh, and as for all of the fuckers telling you to take the foil off because you aren't getting enough gas exchange, it's bs, after many grows, all with the foil on, I've never had a problem unless I had a contam syringe in the first place. My problems with cakes have always started after full colonization with perfecting FAE and humidity levels, never before.

These people (and sporebank) are a ripoff. Their syringes are JUNK. More contam than cube spores - you will be lucky if ANY of your jars grow with their spores.

I check daily, early detection of contamination is essential in this hobby, It can hop jar to jar.
