How? If you cover your lids with foil while in the pc this shouldnt happen

18 of the jars were stored upside down on accident for the first 3 days there doing fine just have to wait to open them to see if tops are contaminated.

I don't think the foil is that big a deal. has anyone done a side by side comparison of the gas exchange? i thought BRF cakes didn't need it as much (opposed to grain)

like i said there still colonizing great with the foil (faster than the B+ did) but the ones that were flipped upside down are very dry and slow growing.

so today i stared 5 jars of rye with a LC i made a few weeks ago. got a few foil pans and a 112 qt storage container that i am going to use as my FC, (and for a bulk grow later on.) also all 3 of my B+ cakes are pinning now(2nd flush for 2 of them) and i put one of my Cambodian cakes in there yesterday. have 3 Ecuadorian and 1 pink buffalo that should be in there by next weekend if these bottoms would hurry up and finish colonizing.

alright so one of the Cambodians took off like crazy! the other is just now getting pins as is the pink buffalo. the pin sets are similar to this one Cambodian.
 a few still have that funny shaped cap.
 also crumbled one Cambodian jar over coir verm. this is how it looked the next day.
and last but not least my magnetic stirrer in action.( total cost 3$!) spinning B+

Other than getting some increased FAE those look great. If the mycelium growing up your stem doesn't bother you then by all means leave your set up alone. If you want it to stop happening more fanning throughout the day will help or more holes in your SGFC.

That large cap that took off...hope you started picking and drying, or you'll have a lot of blackness on that batch...not a worry if it's for personal, but still looks odd and is an ass to clean later.

I have done a side by side comparison. The ones without the foil did, very slightly, colonize faster. Not really noticeable  with  without Not the greatest angles I know. All birthed on the same day though.

You're working with MS though probably so everything's going to be pretty random. It's always a good idea to remove your foil.

What is the rationale for taking foil covering off of the jars? Noob question? I am also colonizing my batch (second time ever) of BRF cakes ...first batch I colonized my jars with foil tight over lids and no problems/issues (except it did seem colonization took almost two weeks longer than I had anticipated as per information gathered on this forum and other research...). I would think the redundancy of retaining foil cover after pressure cooking and inoculation would be nothing but a good thing to inhibit possible contaminants. Is there a fundamental issue of gas exchange that I should be aware of during colonization out the tops of jars? Thanks.

fresh air exchange is needed and the foil prevents it.on brf cakes your supposed to put the dry layer of vermiculite at the top to act as a filter. that is why the jars take longer but they will colonize either way. i only left mine on cuz the dry verm. got wet and i was worried bout losing jars to contamination

made another 8 PF tek jars sunday. inoculated with my B+ spores from my first flush. all have started colonizing and are looking good. also made another 5 qts worth of rye jars (unfortunatly they are in tall 1/2 pint jars cuz my pc is super tiny and i havent had money for new jars or another PC.) but i made about 2.5 quarts of grain this way so it will work for now.

I've been debating doing a whole bunch of 1/2 pints to save me the $8 purchase of some new pint jars. I'll probably stop being a tard though and get some full pints.
Can't wait to see the new operation in full force man.
Gl and good vibes!
