Size Of Jar For PF Tek
    #18737031 - 08/21/13 11:33 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

I've noticed on many of guides for PF TEK method they always stress for 1/2 pint jars. I was just wondering if 1/2 pint jars is absolutely essential or if I could use bigger size jars such as normal sized pint jars. I'm about a week away from starting my first grow and I plan on doing PF TEK method with BRF and vermiculite as the substrate. Any advice will help thanks in advanced.

Best to stick with the short wide mouth 1/2 pint jars. Even with the taller regular mouth 1/2 pint jars some people tend to have problems with them stalling out and even when they do finish it slows the growth down quite a bit. Full pint jars would be even worse.

Bigger jars means more substrate and longer time for colonization. When PF tek is done without pressure cooker, the substrate is more prone to contamination. With longer colonization time there is more chance for contams to appear.

If growing more is what you're going for, maybe you should read into grains and bulk. It's really not that difficult to get into.

Ace hardware is one of the few places you can buy the short fat half pint jars

I had a bunch of the tall 1/2 pint jars that took almost a month to colonize fully. I had some spores left over so I got some of the short and fat 1/2 pint jars and was fully colonized at around 2 weeks. So make sure you get the short ones, they work much better.

Nope those won't work. They have a shoulder. You won't be able to birth the cakes. Why is this so difficult for people :shrug:

Think of it like this. Could I make a sand castle with this jar. If the answer is no then it won't work

Also for BRF could I use Mahatma brown rice brand and grind it to a powder?

Don't fret.  You didn't waste money.

1.  You can still just fruit those in the jars if need be.

<---------Not cubensis but cubes work the same way (see my signature for more info). 

2.  Those jars work great for no pour agar work.

As far as the BRF question......yes.

Kerr wide mouth half pint jars for best results. You can find them on amazon or at your local ace hardware if you have one

If you can't find the glass jars, 1/2 pint Ziploc plastic bowls work just as well.  And you can find them in just about any grocery, walmart, hardware etc. stores.

My only complaint about them is the lid makes it hard to see the inoculation holes.  I use black electrical tape over the lid with the holes punched through the tape and lid so I can see where to inoculate.

I used them, and it was great. Colonized a bunch of these in about 2 weeks and they're still going good in the FC :P Much cheaper than glass too
