My understanding is you want those holes open for air exchange, the verm layer will protect the interior sufficiently.

Correct. Most people put tape over the holes And Inoculate Right Through The Tape, Then Leave The holes open. I went ahead and made some jar lids With Self-Healing Inoculation Ports And polyfill Filters Just To Be Safe.

More pics of the space and such. If the pins indicate I should be doing anything differently please share your thoughts, veterans..........so surprised I got anything from those cakes I'm completely blown away that the myc is that hearty! Love this new hobby and this site.

i wouldnt handle those wrong sized jars anyway because it can cause settling of the brf to compact at the bottom of the jar restricting GE to the myc to colonize the bottom of the jars.

These B+ are starting to look real freaky..............thick with small caps, some caps rupturing because stems are growing faster and the largest one is curling down under from the top edge of the cake. Some fuzziness around the base of the large ones. Anyone have any thoughts on if I should be adjusting something?


SFGC worked great for the test run (2 small cakes)

How often do you fan and mist? More cakes need more fresh air. Or they could just be mutants! Love a good mutant.

Usually 4x daily, but the longest span between mistings is while I'm at work so 10 - 12 hours during the week. Weekends I may get in 4-6 mists a day, and just a quick fan each time I mist.
I am thinking it could be stale air in the enclosed space as well, and already started correcting that. This is SFGC in an enclosed space and today I added a hydroponic style humidifier to pump air in from outside the space, so maybe that will help. Space is constant 72~73 degrees, humidity at 60% in there before I added the humidifier pump.

I don't have a good hygrometer in there, but the walls stay moist between mistings for the most part, unless I've been gone for a long period (12 hours) then they will start to dry out. Part of the challenge in loading the cakes so heavy is that you can't spray the perlite directly I guess?
