Sorry for double posting, but I used pint sized jars. Is this going to effect anything?

still air box, and yes be ready for slow colonizing as gravity will draw moisture to the bottom of your jars and compact your sub making it hard for myc to colonize

Damn. So will it have a higher failure rate with the pint jars?

I've gathered that you're supposed to used 1 ml of spores per jar (1/4 ml per hole). Would I have to use more for the larger jar?

I have finished shooting the spores into the substrate. Now I cross my fingers and wait...

I have some spore left over too. I plan to pick up some half-pint jars and starting some more.

How long do you think it will take for the pint sized jars to inoculate? Also it should take about 5 days to start seeing the mycelium on the substrate, right?

New to this thread, but looks good so far man, and good luck.
I also noticed your vendor sent you some nice dark syringes. When I got mine they looked almost clear with a few small clumps and they still worked very well.. I was just going to say if you plan on, or are willing to, making a lot more cakes and think you don't have enough spore solution, you can always suck in STERILE water and have more solution like that. Each injection really doesn't need a lot of spores (only 2 that get to each other) for the mycelium to start. Just something I wish I'd known earlier.
