Looks good to me :thumbup: take the tin foil off after pressure cooking. Once they cool down I'd get rid of that towel.

Should have used tap water, not distilled water.

Only use distilled water for spore syringes.

The lids are fine, remove the foil now.

The foil comes off after sterilization and stays off.

:whathesaid:
One thing though. Depends on how long after sterilization you wait to inoculate. If there is nothing covering the holes then leave the foil on until inoculation. Then ditch it. Otherwise you risk contamination by pushing the needle through a possibly contaminated verm layer.

No, you want to remove the foil after sterilization no matter what if there is a dry verm layer.

If you do not you risk the dry verm layer becoming moist, which is an invitation for contams.

If the dry verm layer stays dry, the cakes should be fine.

There should be little worry of pushing a contam all the way thru it.

Use the finest verm for the best protection.

Alright ladies and gents, in this thread I'm going to let you tag along on my first grow journey.:ooo::thumbup::mushroom2: I'm mostly going to be asking a lot of question but will post a lot of updates. My b+ spore syringe arrived in the mail yesterday, so I took off work today to prepare everything.

So far I've made 5 half-pint jars (2 cups verm, 1 cup distilled water, 1 cup 100% organic rye flour, dry layer of verm) and put them in my pressure cooker at 15 psi for 60 mins. They've cooled down for about 5 hours now and I plan on inoculating them tonight.

First question of the thread; I put aluminum foil on all of the tops but it looks like moisture has gotten in or it may just be me, thoughts?


They are cooling in my closet ATM.





yeah either your a girl or you need to cut your nails.  All jokes aside - take the foil, make a hat out of it, and enjoy the new headgear.  Just please, please, please leave it off of your jars.

They've only been cooling for 5 hours. You guys are saying she should have taken it off 5 hours ago?

The foil tops have been removed and going to wait roughly another 2-2 1/2 hours until I start inoculation. Wipe gloves down real good with 70% alcohol and needle and flame until red hot, inoculate jar in each of the four holes with the needle touching the side of the glass, wipe with alcohol and flame tip in between each jar? Also how many cc's per hole? (4 holes on each lid). If everything goes smoothly with no contams and good healthy myc growth I will probably sterilize and inoc 5 more jars in a week or so..

Skip the wiping the needle part.  Just flame sterilize.  The more you add the more risk of contamination.

Also it can take up to 3 weeks to see growth just as a heads up.

Inoculated all 5 jars last night. Somehow ended up using almost 2cc per jar.. Idek. Hoping that I see some strong growth in the next week or two with no contams or I might be ordering another syringe :rolleyes:.

Yep. Should I take the towel off or leave the jars on it? It's clean.

its fine if you have your jars on it.  Just dont have it under your SGFC unless you really want mold.  And are you using lids or foil?

I have my sgfc on top of 4 small jars on each corner on a small glass table. Probably foil.

My room temp is staying around a constant 72-75F. Is this okay or is it too cold?

You'd be better off using that 1cc to knock up a grain jar and once it was fully colonized do g2g transfers to increase your culture stock. Liquid culture is pretty sketch.
