Yup. I've went to a few Walmarts around my area on several occasions and all they are stocking are these half pint wide mouths that are about 1-2 inches tall and the jar is wider than the wide mouth! LoL! Apparently the Walmarts around me don't carry the wide mouth half pints other than those. I will check out Ace for my next set of jars. Thanks!

You guys are telling him the tall half pints will be just fine and some people have success with them but a lot of people have trouble with them as well. I have tried both and had much better luck with the short wide mouth. I'm just trying to give him the best chance for success. I think if you can get the wide mouths you should because they certainly work better.

Oh yeah and a let me tell you a little trick for wetting your perlite that I had to learn the hard way.

Construct your bin to spec (drill 1/4 inch holes on all 6 sides in a 2 inch grid pattern) then set it in the bathtub on 4 cups or jars to elevate it. Pour in your 4 to 5 inches of perlite then add water. You can just turn on the shower head. That is what I did. Run a whole bunch of water in there and mix it around as you do.

Once you feel like you have it well moistened let it sit there and drain for a couple hours. It will act as a large colonder since it has holes in the bottom




Instead of doing this, I wet mine in the backyard with a garden hose because a lot of perlite comes out the holes and you don't want that going in your drain, or I didn't at least.

I just innoc'd four tall 1/2 pints and 2 short wide mouths as a first grow.  I started with the tall bc I couldn't find the wide mouths and had to order online. One tall got contamed but the other three were fine, however the two wide mouths caught up to two of the tall ones even though they were innoc'd 4 days later. Im still waiting for the bottoms to colonize on two of the tall ones. The shorter ones also appear to be healthier and i bet they willl fruit faster, but it was also a different strain of spores.

. However if you're like me a week is too long to wait for wide mouths to arrive in the mail and you might as well get some experience innoc'ing the taller ones - its a little tricky the first couple times (at least was for me)  just save/order some more spores for the wide mouths.

Patience is key. I got the correct wide mouths today at Ace. Last set. Bought extra lids too.

What do you guys do for light? I'm thinking the 6500 grow light.

For my room, I bought a 3-pack of some small (800 lumen) Daylight CFLs (6500K), and just put 2 in the ceiling light fixture. So far so good.

They do get a good amount of ambient light coming in through the window with a very sheer curtain on it though.

A lot of us like to use these clamp lights with a cfl. You can find them at walmart or most hardware stores for about $5

indirect sunlight is fine...unless you are using a room with no windows, you don't need to buy a light. If it's overcast and dark during the day, turn on the light in the room. People will tout the benefits of providing extra light but honestly, you will be just fine with ambient light.

Direct 6500k light during the fruiting cycle will increase yeild. Yes they will grow with ambient light or no light at all but they will grow better with direct light from the proper spectrum

Yeah, but you will still have a nice grow without it...providing you do everything right. just saying it's not a necessity. :smile:
