Small question, After I inoculate my jars, where should I keep them while the mycelium begins to grow. I do not have an incubator so that is out of the question.

Somewhere with indirect sunlight at room temperature will work fine.

So if I put it in my closet it'll be ok, and If my closet isn't pristine is it possible to get contaminants after I sterlize and tape over the holes and add foil?

If your closet smells powerfully of must or feet or something, put them somewhere else. But don't be taping up any holes or adding foil, mycelium needs gas exchange provided by small air holes in jar lids. A protective dry vermiculite layer between substrate and lid is recommended for colonization stage and all that is necessary to prevent contamination. What tek are you following?

I am using the brf pf tek guide and all the videos and main guide I was using it looks like they cover the holes with foil and breathable tape.

I was trying to closely follow the method in these videos.

Should I make some changes?

You remove the tape and foil to allow them to breathe.
The need GE or gas exchange.
If you use the vermiculite layer then that is your filter.

Thank you for the response clueless. I rewatched the videos and re read some guides to double check before you answer. Seems I was missing that step. Thanks for the help. I was going to mix up the BRF and Verm earlier and put it in jars and sterilize to let it sit a few days and make sure no contams happen before I use spores. But I got to blazed and I didn't want to make any mistakes because I was high.

A little bit confused. I followed the 2 parts verm 1 part water and 1 part BRF and only got 2 1/2 jars worth?

I always have the same troubles too man. If I follow the recipe for 12 jars I end up with anywhere from 10-13. I dont worry about it anymore. They always colonize.
