wow a month to consolidate? if my jars are left over a week they usually start pinning - even start before the week sometime.
slaphappypill - nice looking cakes man..... I'm lucky to get 3.5 dry, maybe i'll start fanning a little more by itself with more periodic misting. I do however notice a huge difference now that winter is over and I'm able to fan fresh air from the window right directly on them.
I have half pint wide mouth for the most part, then 4 or 5 tall ones and 1 blue rolka cheese jar. Some do better then others randomly but I don't see either type of jar being superior to another. The blue rolka cheese jar actually dosn't do to bad....

Should have pics tomorrow I just got this really cool grow light/stand that's for starting plants (germinating/sprouting) and the bulb is a 6400k bar florescent its a pretty cool little contraption considering the light height is adjustable and it seems to be easily manipulate plus it doesn't take up too much space. Anyway jars are looking good I gotta start marking them to make sure they aren't stalling (I may just be getting antsy) I am so ready for them to be done but unfortunately mother nature even in prime conditions does what she wants not what I do... No matter how much I beat myself up about it

I think you should quit turning your jars on there sides & let them colonize & then consolidate. Other than that

By the way, if you can't find 1/2 pints you can use plastic food containers instead. But use only polypropylene containers (they have number 5 in recycling triangle). They are much cheaper than glass jars and can be used in pc without any problem.

And one more tip, shaking your jars when they are colonized on quarter will significantly increase colonization speed.

The jars featured in this thread are BRF cakes. BRF cakes aren't like grains and don't break apart like grains so colonization speed can not be quickened by shaking, aside from contaminating your vermiculite barrier.

Just figured I'd addd a picture of my cake that I harvested today:

The last pic is of the mushies off that cake that added to 10 grams cracker dry!
The cake is a full pint size which is also said to suck for results. So I'm sorry guys but I have to say that jar size doesn't matter, use what you can get as long as the neck isn't tapered (You need to get your cake out unless you're using it for spawn)

So I was wondering, I have a ceiling fan in my kitchen where I do most of my work. Can this do my fanning for me? It evaps the water on the paper-towel I'm using to try and germ some really old mint and basil seeds and so I have to hose it down like 4-6 times a day... Just a thought.

if you're using a sgfc you don't want the fan. It'll dry things out way too quick and your Fc wont keep the RH up

So I took a look at my jars today and most of them are about 99% colonized (3 are like 75-80%) I'm so excited I could pee myself! Now its 7 days and counting!!! Any one disagree?

I would really let them chill for 2 weeks... I know it's tough, but I always wait longer than 1 week

But they're only 1/4 pint jars you said you use 1 pint quite a difference

Random thought (please forgive me if already stated): I could see how 1/4 pint jars could be handy for G2G noccs... Get a bunch of lil guys started; then txr the best to large containers. See it as a great way to minimise wasted grain do to bad spawns...
Any feedback on this idea?
