I have seen pf tek grows where dinking glasses were used.

They just used aluminum foil for lids. It can work fine.

Here is a guy who did it:

Using glasses has been done before successfully.  The hard part is inoculating them without giving contaminates the opportunity to jump on board, and allowing for GE during colonization.

OP is speaking of using glasses for an LC.
I highly recommend you DO NOT do this, as you're most likely going to contam the LC.
PF tek can be done in glasses, just make sure to have the foil on there really well, as your dry verm layer is your contam barrier.

Glasses are fine for cakes I guess. But an LC? I do some risky things... But would not try or advise it.

OP=Original Poster
LC=Liquid Culture

I thought the OP was using the word liquid to describe drinking glasses?

Yea, I read that now.
OP, yes you can use standard drinking glasses for the PF tek.
Just use the foil over your jar as the lid.

Yes the inoculation technique is the same for both.

the 1/2 pint kerr jars were expensive as hell for me. $40 for 12! just my part of the world. but for a few bucks, and the joy of growing my own shrooms well worth it :cool: might have to take the plunge if you are serious about this hobby also?

Jars are relatively cheap in the States vs. UK. But I can't imagine plastic tupperware is hard to get ahold of. It's a perfectly viable option. Or is that hard to obtain also?

A 1/4 - 1/2 inch layer of vermiculite with aluminium foil to hold it in place will be enough to prevent contamination.
