Is this 1/2 pint or 1 pint?

Hi:
What size jar is this? It's being sold as 1/2 pint of substrate, but it looks more like a 1 pint jar?

If I were using this as my substrate, how much would I use to inoculate it?

Since we have no size reference, I'd say it's a half pint, like it was advertised. Knock it up like a normal PF cake.

Edit: Yes it looks like a normal 1/2 pint.

Check out this site:
http://foodinjars.com/2012/01/canning-101-a-field-guide-to-jars/
The substrate I got was in the Ball Wide Mouth Pint Jars (third picture down.)
I think most teks specify the Wide Mouth 1/2 Pint?
So if I got pint size jars, would I use twice the inoculation?

use 1cc per jar if using a spore syringe, preferably divided between multiple inoculation points (3-4 holes in each jar lid)

I haven't grown in a long time so I'm not 100% sure but I believe if you use the pint jars they take way too long to colonise; you are more likely to get contaminations and sometimes they simply just 'run out of steam' so to say.
I'd get the smaller jars if I were you, the jars arent very expensive (or are you buying them pre-made?).

I got them premade from Midwest. From their website they say they are 1/2 pint jars, but they seem bigger than other 1/2 pint wide mouth Kerr jars I have.
By the by, all the jars I got from Midwest are colonizing after 3 days.

lol Well the results so far are OK, but I got the proper sized jars for my next go around.
By the by, this isn't a dig on Midwest--I've been real pleased with their service and product otherwise.
