I too just started a grow following RR's video. Follow it as close as you can. Hopefully I'll have some nice pictures to post within the next month or so.

You can greatly exceed the 60 min PC time for a pf cake with no problems. I am certain you could PC it for 4 hours with no issues whatsoever. If you run your PC dry, or forget to elevate your jars, then you could burn them. But the original statement was. . .

Quote:

* Don't pressure cook/sterilize too long. You will cook the rice.




If he said

Quote:

don't run your PC dry




or

Quote:

remember to elevate the jars off the bottom




I would not have had anything to correct. Anyway its settled and I am sure OP and anyone else reading this will have the picture so. .  .

Your information wasn't incorrect.

Keep you jars from burning by keeping them off the bottom of the pot on a trivet\jarlids\foil.

PF Cakes that get broiled to the point of burning are useless.

I'm not pussyfart.  :inlove:

Ok ok! Just to make things perfectly clear:

When I said "Don't cook your jars too long, blah blah whatever", I was talking about an experience I had where I had the temp up too high, walked out of the room, got myself too high, and came back an hour later to my PC spewing steam and burnt cakes.

And I'm not that big of an idiot! I use jar lids to cover the bottom + a layer of foil over that :goat:

I guess I should have been more clear and said "don't PC your jars on TOO HIGH of temp, cus THEN it will burn them". My apologies.

Sowwy for this misunderstanding/misinterpretation. I could have saved myself from all these exciting arguments >.<!

Why can't you use perlite? You said you were going to watch RR's videos and follow it to a tee.

While coarse perlite works best you can use several things in place of it. Hydroton, aquarium rocks, and gravel will all work in a pinch. Even wet paper towels can get you by tho you have to change them out regularly to prevent mold from growing on them.

Go to a hydro store, they have all kinds of good stuff including coir, verm, gypsum, lime, worm castings, as well as perlite and its usually way cheaper than hardware stores.

What stores have you checked? Do you have a Lowe's or Homedepot near? They both have it. Gardening stores as well should carry it.

If not order some online. If you're just starting your jars as you said you will have plenty of time before you need perlite.

I hope by incubated you mean put them on a shelf in indirect light and not in an actual incubator.
