First grow problems

So this is the cats first time working with mushrooms. he has Zero experience but has done a lot of reading. so his very first pf jar knock up was a fail. he some how happen to put like 3cc in one hole idk how but he did. working in a glove box sucks he purred. its kinda restricting his vision. that one jar with 3cc is it ok or should he get rid of it? hes got six more jars in the PC right now. that will be next but hes just wondering with out a flow hood is it even necessary to use the glove box? should he put the foil back on top of the jars after knocking up or leave it be since the layer of dry vermiculite? hes working with the PES amazonia strain. pictures coming once the first signs of growth begin. hope to hear some feed back

Keep the jar, It should be fine. Next time only inject 1cc. Keep the foil OFF of the jar after innoc to get proper air exchange. Make sure to put more tape over the inoculation holes after innoc to keep any unwanted things out. Good luck. Also, a glove box is a good idea but I have great success just doing it in a sterile bathroom and flame/alcohol swab between jars. I have also had good success with just innoc in an open room with just alcohol

for pf tek I just clean and air bomb the room with a fine mist of bleach spray. i usually just wear a t-shirt or bandana over my mouth so I don't breathe in loads of chlorine. I've never had a jar fail doing this.
The jar with 3 cc's, is it colonizing? A 3 cc inoculation doesn't mean it will fail. It might mess up the moisture content a little bit though. Causing your jars to colonize slower.
By the way, a lot of guys on here won't even read your post if you refer to yourself as your cat or any of that other shit like SWIM or FOAF. However, your signature could draw in some folks lol. So I guess it could even it out.

Taping the holes is worse than leaving the foil on. For god's sake don't do that.

Leave the holes untaped. That's why you have a verm barrier

yeah I tried to use some breathable tape from Walmarts First Aid section on my first PF TEK Jar, after the PC, the glue seemed to have spread out and "melted" to the lid and I dont think any Gas Exchange was happening.
This new round I noc'd up Tuesday are open hole (no tape) and I'm counting on my cleanest room in the house and a 1/2" Verm barrier to keep em safe during colonization.
