Might be ok but does look pretty grey to me. Watch how fast it grows. if it covers the whole jar in a couple days it's not good.

Yea, I am trying to figure out a way to take better pictures. I only got a iphone and it causes a lot of reflection. I will try to post better pictures somehow.

Also, those spots have been slowly growing over the course of about a week and a half. I read the contamination section and it said it should grow rather fast. The first spot showed up about 4-5 days after i started them. Then they been popping up over the course of 6-7 days after that.

Take the foil off? The PF tek says to leave it on. I also have half pint jars going right now as well.

The full pint jars showed this growth about 5-6 days after i did injection. The half pint jars have been stewing for about 4 days now. I am going to start an exact log and what not.


So what difference does it make if the foil is on or not?

Show me what PF tek says to keep it on. Every one I have ever read says take it off immediately after sterilization. Also full pint jars are garbage. You could do two runs of half pints in the time it takes to do one full pint.

Its only for the sterilizing process and hinders ge after that. The tek is done with halfpints for a reason, that being gravity will draw your moisture to the bottom of your pints compacting the sub and making it hard for myc to penetrate

Well it doesn't say it but the picture that goes along with it shows tin foil still on the jars. I just assumed to leave it on. I will take it off and allow for gas exchange. Sorry total noob here and trying to learn the entire process.

Rule of thumb for pf jars is they should be as tall as they are wide

Started the grow log. Here are the pictures i took from today. Thoughts ?

Also, showing the way i have the set up. The top is off for the picture. I usually keep two small towels that are switched/clean daily. Tote top gets a good cleaning every morning.

when you say"top tote gets a cleaning evewry morning" i read"my jars get picked up so i can clean my tote every morning" which isn't good, try not to handle them too much

I don't pick up my jars. I am talking about the lid. There is a plastic lid that encases the top section. Sorry if i did not clarify. Yea, everyone tells me to be patient. I guess i am just so eager to see my work pay off. I do believe however, that all expert growers were at my point. I have not touched them since and will touch the jars less and less.
