My myc is spreading slowly. I'll post a pic later when i get home. Anyone know if that could be from crappy ms syringes?

The myc is slow because it's BRF/verm, and because you're heating your jars.
Room temp, 70-75, no extra heat needed. Much faster. Leave your inoc holes open and don't touch for 4 weeks.
Post that pic! If it isn't brilliant white, it's prolly bad.

That looks like either your BRF got a little too wet or it's contam'd. Either way, let it be, see what happens when the myc tries to take it over. I've had splotches like that because I inoculated a bit too much, and it grew from an ugly wet spot to thick mycelium! I swore it was fucked for like 2 weeks but all was well. This hobby has taught me patience like nothing else in my life

I've seen plenty of pictures with people using the tall reg. mouth 1/2 pint jars. Maybe not ideal, but they should work fine.

When problems occur trace your steps and see where the problems started. I myself have had 2 quart cakes with no problem. If I would have had a problem, I would have went back to the basic Tek, and went from there. Not bitchen at you just trying to get you to look at ur procedure. Good Luck

A few more contams 
I'm down to 3 jars. I'm definitely looking to doing WBS next. I just bought a new PC, some qt. jars. Waiting for everything to arrive. I think I like the more hands on process of grains. And I like the idea of GLC.
I'll post a few more pics of my BRF. One is about 80% colonized. The other are around 60%-70%

Ok, ur gonna have a problem getting the cake out of the jar, but it can be done. It may take a day or two to recover. But, your on your way. Make sure of GE Good Luck & let us know.

Where the myc has grown, it has shrunk away from the sides of the jar. Looks like I might have to coax it out but I don't think it will bruise much. We'll see though. You might be right.

I birthed my only surviving cake yesterday. Dunked for 24 hrs. and rolled in verm today. It wasnt 100% colonized. But it started pinning early after my girlfriend forced me to move it to a different room

If you are going to do bulk, you might want to get your sterile procedure down first. You did use a pc. for sterilization right?

looked to me like the jars are wrong. The short 1/2 pint wide-mouth work best. Cakes come out easier than with the tall ones. Sorry 'bout losing all but one...keep trying. You'll get it!

I didnt have a pc when i did this. I do now. Definitely not going bulk with brf cakes lol although i have some wbs in the works.
Yea i know the short wide mouth jars are the best. Dont have them locally and it was my "test run" so i went with an easy buy. I do see how they are better.

A tip from my cake experience: Put some vermiculite on top, like 1 inch or so and moisten it to the point it's wet (no standing water). Overnight, it dries out quickly and adds to the pins. It's a great way to feed the fruits with water since they are mostly water.
