Did I buy the wrong jars for pf tek??

So I've read that for the pf tek, you want half pint jars, and wide mouth are better because they colonize quicker. I bought wide mouth half pint jars and they dont look like the ones ive seen in videos. I went back and got regular half pint jars just in case they wont work. They just look too flat to me. Are either of these usable for pf tek? If so, which one would be better?

The ones on the left are not going to work they have a shoulder and you wont be able to get your cakes out without destroying them. There's another wide mouth half pint that's really hard to find but ACE can always order them for you. If you want you can use the one on the right. It's not advocated by many of the shroomeries trusted cultivators, however I have used them with great success. Just make damn sure you very lightly add the PF mix into the jars so that it doesn't end up compacted.
I'm guessing the ones on the left came in a 4 pack? Those are good for making no-pour agar plates, They're not as good as petri dishes but if you don't return them you can maybe use them for that.

 I think tall half pints do just fine. If you can get the other short wide ones then go for it because they are better, but you can get results with the ones you have.

I used those once and just broke the cakes up in a plastic bag and spawned to bulk coco coir. A little more effort and a little more research, but you may get greater yields that way. (spawning to bulk)

Thanks guys. The thing with spawning to bulk is that I'm a beginner. Do you think you could guide me to the right tek? Just in case something goes wrong and I have a second tek to fall back on
