Why can't I touch my jars?

Mabey I'm missing something but from my searches the days of the incubator are old news. And we should just put our jars high up (above the majority of the contams?) on a shelf in ambient light for 12/12 hours.
Mine are in plain site, can I look at them ? How close can I get to them?
I feel like I'm a little kid in church who is told touching my penis is wrong! And I feel bad and promise god I will never touch it again. I go home and touch it aaarrrggghhh I'm a bad person I like touching it!
So what's the reason?

Don't touch PF jars. It disturbs the dry verm barrier. The barrier is your contam sponge. You don't want to contams to be able to work their way down to the nutrient BRF and germinate. If you leave them alone the structure of the verm barrier stays intact. The fully colonized cake is contam resistant so birthing them in open air is no problem.

Then go ahead and touch your penis envy as much as you want. In fact, you should shake them to break up the mycelial mass when it reaches about 20% done. After that it'll finish colonization in just a couple-three days.

You can touch wbs jars all you want. The only reason you're not supposed to mess with pf jars is becauseyyou'll disturb the filter as stated above. You can make love to your wbs jars if you want

I know I through in the humor there but I do see every one get admonished for doing it. But if that is only for pf jars with the verm contam barrier then sweet mabey I'll make it to heaven yet.
Don't have PE though or mabey I do. They don't look like PE pics on here but ya no strain talk.

I still wouldn't shake them all the time, but looking and holding is just fine. I would give them one shake at 20-40% or so and then one shake when it hits 100% right before you spawn or dunk your grains.

They're much past being ready to shake. If you'd shaken those a week ago they'd be done by now. As they are, they'll probably finish about the same time either way, but yeah, I'd shake them right now anyway so it's easier to break them up just before spawning.

Just shook up some jars myself. I used all the grease in my elbows and had to start in on the shoulder grease.

The whole hobby takes some elbow grease. I'm pasturizing 4 quarts right now PC'ing 4 quarts (the last 4q batch of 12total today) spawning some other jars, grain dunking, agar project. It's like working a part time job and I'm just doing it for fun for my wife and I.
It's quite crazy how they look like they're right back at 0% after the shake.

Oh what a feeling of joy. Not only can you touch it, but you can beat. You even HAVE to beat it. On a tire even.

The first time I shook up my jars I had 12 and I woke up with a sore arm the next morning. Haha. It really is sad to watch the myc disappear like that, but just think, in 2 days that myc will be all over the entire jar!
