I have 11 jars total. I trust your judgement. I have this sgfc made, will I not be needing that? gotta link to a tek for what your speaking about?

If I was in your shoes I would make a few trays with them, although it is enough spawn for a mini mono. I don't know how to link things on here. Basically you need to know how to pasteurize your bulk, check out frankhorrigans journal on how he does shit. Once you have that done it's really just getting your cakes out in nice size chunks so it's easy to cheese grater them then mixing with your bulk sub in a tray. If you want more specifics you can PM me and I'll explain how I did it with some of my cakes I just don't wanna type all that this minute. Could someone throw some links for him you think would help

I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket, a shiner should know that... Fruit some cakes as is, and do a little bulk if you're up to it. That way you don't get in over your head and end up losing everything because of lack of experience. A lot more research will be needed on your part to decide what bulk will work for you, and if it's something you want to tackle now.

Did you read the thread? That's impossible with the jars he has.

That's a strange thing to say. You can fruit from jars you know. But what I meant was as "cakes". Either break them up into a tray or something and you could even case with verm if you wanted. You could also re-consolidate them by moving to another clean jar or container, tamping them into shape, and letting them re-establish. Then you can do the whole dunk-n-roll to SGFC routine.

Smashing the jars isn't gonna give you cakes. You'll break up your cake into chunks. Let it finish, kinda pulverize it with a knife so it'll all come out and spawn them. Don't smash your jars.
Next time read more before you start.

really, that's your advice? read more? you don't have to be a pompous ass man. it was an oversight. no where I read stated there was a different type of half pint jars other than regular and wide mouth.
and fyi i did read a post where a guy successfully hit the jar releasing the cake intact but thanks for the advice

I bet it wasn't a shouldered jar though. Some people have trouble getting them out even with the proper jars where the hole is as wide as the cake! There's no way you could remove a cake intact from one of those without destroying the jar and even that would be tricky.

what I meant was he successfully hit the jar with a hammer and breaking it to release the cake. I am in complete agreement they won't come out either way. worst case scenario is I break em up and spawn to case.

You would either spawn to a bulk substrate, or you would apply a casing layer.
We do not spawn to a casing layer.

So these were inoculated on May 17th. I don't know would you say they are 90% done? Then I'll have to wait the week for them to be consolidated. Problem is I'm going away Friday the 13th, coming back for Sunday and leaving again on Monday not returning until late June 18th.
I'm trying to get the timing down here. WOrried they will be done and need to be birthed and if I birth em and put em in I won't be able to tend to them. Opinions on how to manage this? Let's say they finish in 2 or 3 days and with the week to consolidate we have June 13th (Exactly when I first leave).
Like how long will a consolidated jar keep beyond the week, if needed?

I use a 1/4 ratio. Sometimes less. Mine take a week. What ratio did you use?

Somethings wrong with that picture.
1 brick of coir mixed with 4 quarts of verm is going to be wayyyy more than 2 cups....more like 32 cups atleast. Are you saying you made 16 bulk trays?
Did your properly pasteurize your coir/verm sub?
Im confused, and am going to need a little more info if I am to be of any help
