and that line is an estimate of where the water rose during boil. it started to boil then i turned it down to medium. i did the 2-1-1 verm/brf/water followed pf tek exactly, did the wipe down of moisture, stacked lids, but somehow the water wasn't measured completely off of the jars (i think it was 1/3 submerged or even 1/2...). i read on some threads that this is ok but others that it's not.
any and all help is deeply appreciated. thank you again. <33

Boiling water can come up from the bottom of the sterilizer during the sterilization run and get into the jars between the threads and lids ruining the hard worked for moisture content of the substrate during the sterilization cylcle which is why it's prescribed to not submerge, at all, those little half-pint jars during sterilization. The fact that they were is ok so long as water didn't find it's way into your jars. Also, steam is the best at transferring heat into items that are desired to be sterilized.

those jars look fine to me, nocc em up and set and forget them for about 7-10 days, then come back and check for growth.

They look ok to me too. Just be sure you inspect each of your jars to see if any heavy moisture pooling is present at the bottom of the jars before considering inoculating or starting over.
