Inexperienced question !
    #14476157 - 05/18/11 11:21 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hey there :smile:

I'm new to the experience of growing, and out of all the equipment and supplies I got for my new exploration of cultivation, I made the error of purchasing opaque jars for utilization of the Pf-tek method for cake making.

I was planning on simply waiting an adequate amount of time for the incubation period to end and just breaking the cakes up into cases, forgoing the need for glass jars, allowing light to come through to the cases instead. Is this a possible option? Should I just return the jars and get glass ones instead?

Thanks ^^/

Hey!
Welcome to the shroomery.

I would personally return the jars and get the see through glass type.
While it is probably doable with the opaque, its just going to make it more difficult (if not impossible) to tell when the cakes have finished colonizing and/or if there is any contamination growing as well.
Just my  :2cents:

Good luck!

Definately get glass ones. You can never just estimate when they will be done do to the fact that no jar colonizes in a said amount of time. It could take 3 weeks or 6 weeks. And you have to be able to see if you have any contams. Glass jars are a must buddy. If your gonna do it do it right. Its not that big of a deal to return them and do it right. It would be well worth it. Good luck.

Yeah...you can wait until you see in-vitro fruits coming
up through the verm but this will not always happen.

Get the clear one.  This is a long road, but you will get there.

Good luck, and welcome!

Thank you so much for the welcome :smile:

I really appreciate the quick input on this ^^ I'm going to go return them today, hopefully I can find some good canning jars. I should be beginning to grow in just a few days :wink:

So. Excited.

make sure you get jars that are straight all the way along and not jars with "shoulders" (curves tapering in at the top) !
Good Luck!

Yes, go for half pints, squat or normal.

Use the search engine as much as you can...but I am not
sure whether you will find that many posts that focus
on how to use the so.  So, if you want to post a photo,
then look to the small set of links at the top of most
shroomery pages.

Account · Pics · Threads · Journal · Messages

I use "Account" to get to my profile, to change settings.
You can also find a list of just your own threads there, etc.

Pics is the one you want.  Look for the upload link.

Threads is where you can find all the posting topics
that you have posted to.

Journal I haven't used yet. ;0)

Messages are where you will go to read when people have PMed you.
I will send you a PM.  You will notice the small mail
icon that indicates a new PM has arrived. 

There is much more.  Have fun.

JD
