I had foil and tape when I Steam Sterilized them, then i took off foil after they cooled and then with the tape still on I inoculated them, so there is holes in the tape from the needle.

I should call my local portrait studio and see how much they charge to take pictures of my Myc!

Well well well. checked on the jars today and they almost about 100% colonized! gonna let them sit for a couple for more days, maybe a week then birth them. and the best part is i see no contamination. thats 5 for 5 on my first grow. going to start 4 more cakes today, and have been stocking up on items to go bulk. just need a PC

You did an outstanding job! I'm preparing for my first grow so I'm learning what I can before I take the plunge. Very good job, I hope I do half as good when I try for the first time.

Make sure you let them consolidate for 1 week after they acheive 100%., but before you birth them. They need some extra.time to digest all the nutes thet just absorbed. They will do this even if you take them out, but its best tk leave them in the jar so they dont lose moisture.

So it only took 2 weeks to get to 100%? That is pretty fast. I am 6 days in and I don't have anywhere near as much as you had at 8.

They look good to my newbie eyes. I am at day 15 and one variety is 75-90% right now so I am hoping that I will hit 100% by Friday or Saturday. My other variety is at best 50% probably less in all jars. I think I might have gotten a poor set of spores. I got a Halloween grab bag so it would make sense that some of my syringes would be a bit messed up or not exactly ideal. That said I am 100% contam free and looking perfect otherwise.
Look forward to your results.

These are B+ from a Sponsor. Very pleased. Started four more jars last night, birthing the five I have tonight and dunking. Got KSSS, B+, and a MAZ left that im gonna try to go bulk with. WBS from Winco is only 50 cents a pound, and my wonderful wife is buying me a PC!

So is WBS generally the absolutely cheapest nutrient source? Is that why it seems to be so popular? I mean that is a ridiculously low price... Most everything else I am looking at least $1-2 a pound.
