first time motivator...

Ok...as I write this I have no reservations. For what is a man who doesn't stand up for something he believes in? Bought my jars, they looked wide-mouth but aren't...(I don't think). They are the half-pints..the band at the top makes me think I won't be able to cake without shocking too bad.
 found a HUGE bag of verm at the local garden center...(mom and pop. Makes it easier and they are much willing to help! (They need the money too...)
  then the Universe directed me to a local yard sale that morning and I found a good hygrometer! 2 freakin bucks!.... ***grooooowwww mmeeeeee***
 grabbed a bag of "Uncle Ben's" Brown organic rice...there's your shout out, Ben! and another yard sale produced a food processor for 5 bucks...I'm ready. (I think.) Anyone have or see any problems with what I got? I was also thinking of adding gypsum and coffee to my BRF's before I sterilize and innoc...a quick recipe would be great! I'm already using Roadkill's TEK to fix my jars. PEACE AND CHICKEN GREASE!

Yeah wide mouth is almost a must. You'll have a hard time getting it out of that jar. Even the tall wide mouths will work, but short wide ones are the best.
I wouldn't worry about gypsum or coffee. Not needed and you probably won't notice any benefit. But if you feel you want to try then by all means get jiggy and try it.

dang...back to the store. I figured. K. don't wanna wait on the 1/2's. If I do pint's wouldn't that double the recipe on the BRF? still follow the dry wipe on the top 1/2" and then steam for 90? Also...I've heard of adding gypsum to the mix as an excellent food source. And coffee? Anyone slide me a link?

$22 bucks for 18 pounds of the verm. That was a nice find. The more I search, the closer I get...

Better BRF Recipe
2 cups BRF 1 cup vermiculite 1 cup 50% coffee dilution pinch of gypsum
I've never experimented with coffee grounds in BRF jars, but I don't see how it could hurt.

A quick search will show you everything your asking. Asking the same questions is likely going to stimulate another noob to give you bad advice.
Get the correct 1/2 pint wide mouth jars. Don't waste time on pints. RR

when you say coffee dilution...what is that exactly? Coffee uncooked but mixed with water 50/50? How much per jar? Thanks, I've heard that makes for bigger fruits.

Ignore coffee for now. Alot of people don't even use it anymore, kind of a fad for some people.

NOBODY in my town or the city carries or can order the 1/2 pint wide-mouths. I'm SOOOO tired of looking and I'm NOT ordering over the internet. I got the pint wide-mouths...(sorry, Roger...) NOW, I've HEARD and READ on posts that I can add a dry layer of verm to the bottom of the pint (to lift up my wet so my syringe will inoculate correctly,,.i,e. into the BRF sub) and then cover with another layer of the dry for contamination barrier. Is this something you guys have done, and does it work? Any help would be useful. Thanks.

Hey man, just so you know I use tall 1/2 pints and wide mouth pints all the time. Thats it as i've never used a 1/2 pint wide mouth.
Everyone talks shit about jar size and when I stop by and post pics (of my F+ grow from my sig), they tend to shut up and stop arguing about results.

That's What's UP! thanks for the reply. So SICK of looking...(maybe a collaboration between jar producers and "The MAN"???) sorry, different thread... anywho- I know the bigger the jar, the more likely-hood of contam's...but no prob there. Got my SAB sterilization and technique down...(I hope.) Been practicing a wierd, kinda slow-mo thing my gurl cracks up on everytime she watches me... I will post pic's when 100% colonized. But, back to the original question- should I make a "verm" sandwich? Like, dry on the bottom (to lift up my wet BRF sub), BRF sub, and another layer of the dry verm on top for Contam barrier? Anyone who's tried this approach is encouraged to speak forth..ONWARD, MUSHIE SOLDIERS!!! MARCHING OFF TO SPAWN...

I wouldn't personally.. I'd just have the thin layer of verm on top and the rest as substrate.

I wouldnt use a layer of verm on the bottom. But definitely use one on the top. Make sure its an inch thick. Ive made mine too thin in an less than sterile environment and lost some jars.
