8 oz jars hold a bit more, because of the top of the jar. :wow:

As long as there's no shoulders on the jars, use whatever you want.
I don't recommend going above 1/2 pints with cakes, however, due to stalling.

ConcreteWaves - you're not loading your PC right or you're using different sized jars than standard canning jars.

nope. i just had the wrong size jars. they had lids on em that said 8 oz. but i got a whole new set up now. but i have a question. like will the shrooms grow regardless of the grain size of the verm?  its called espoma organic vermiculite. also i dont have lids for my new jars. so would tin foil work?

Your mycelium should be fine.
Fine verm is what is recommended, however.
Yes. Tin foil will work as a lid.

I usually put my foil under the ring n screw it on and i use two layers, i inoculate through the first layer and put the next layer of foil on then i screw on the lid but from what i here u can put it under or over the lid i think its a matter of preference and since u dont have the inner part id put it under the ring just dont screw it on to tight or it could rip the foil

I inocculated everything from small plastic containers which colonized awrsome to 1/2 pint jars to point jars to cups with foil lids. Don't think it really matters. Some just take longer than others.
