i used the tall half pint jars and had great success. 16 jars done- 16 jars colonized but, i PC`d mine for an hour and follow`d RR`s tek strictly, i will also say i put them in a water incubator at 80` and left them alone. they were exposed to light once 2 Weeks in and thats it. i added nothing to the tek- no bee pollen, nothing. Never try to improve something that comes from the MASTER RR.




yes, i suppose i shouldn't have tried to deviate from the tek on my first attempt.. :blush:

So as most have suggested, get smaller jars or switch to grains. Now if you can't get a hold of widemouth half pint, regular mouth ones will work but will take longer to colonize.

And if you can't get those (I cant get any kind of canning jar where I'm from) then at least sterilize for longer.

Remember that most instructions for sterilization of brf jars with steam refer to the halfpint jars, so if you are using pint jars it will help to leave them longer in the steamer.




well, sad to say that i can get half-pint jars; the reason i didnt was because i thought 'bigger cakes, more mushrooms, yeah?'

hehe, i will definitely follow those videos more closely (i mean — perfectly) next time. it's pretty heartbreaking to watch these babies deteriorate :frown: i will keep you all posted on my efforts to salvage the mycelium.

Trust me, we've all been there brother. Losing a cake sucks, but losing a monotub to a giant spot of trich before the first flush is a heartbreaker.

and another important thing is don't flip your jars at all.  Make sure they are always pointed up right so you don't disturb the dry layer of verm, it is the filter.



QFT.  You absolutely need to keep jars without a filter upright.  The 'flipping to drain CO2' advice is bunk.  You're just inviting contams to the party.  Even with a filter, I try to keep uncolonized substrate off the lid to help prevent wicking contams off the filter.

Especially on PF style cakes, you want to disturb the jars as little as possible, while being as clean and sterile as possible when you are near them.
