Tin foil & a few other q-s
    #14508132 - 05/25/11 01:56 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hi!
ive searched the forum but i have not found the quite right anwser.
im using tin foil lids(they dont sell jars without shoulders in where i live)so i covered the lid with another layer of tinfoil, and by browsing this messageboard i read that myc doest get enough air because of that. should i remove the top layer and cover the needle holes with micropore tape? or leave the foil? last time i kept the foil on it worked but seemed slow growth. also in every jar the mycelium is fluffy i understand its not good? how to change that?

if you have a dry verm layer it acts as contam barrier, so i would just poke a couple holes in the foil.:shrug:

Anyone else?

I would say definately poke small holes since in a jar with the lid which has 4 holes and a verm layer is fine Id say make it look as much like that as you can....

yes a couple holes in the foil directly over the verm will aid in gas exchange the verm should keep out contams.:thumbup:
