Fastest colonization times which lid TEK?
    #20571000 - 09/15/14 02:57 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I've read all the lid TEKs there are to read. I would like an updated opinion on which lid TEKs lead to the fastest colonization times. Best GE scenario and all that.

well, I assume you are talking about lids for grain jars.

i personally use a hole with poly fil.

i get around 9-13 days for colonization from g2g

Yes I did. Hole size and how tight do you pack it?

i think about 1/4"

i just use a phillips head screw driver and punch the hole.

then pack it really really tight with polyfil.

using these type of holes are great since virtually any
jar (salsa jars, pickle, spaghetti, jelly) can be used now.

How do you go about packing it? My polyfill is super fluffy and really hard to get tight.

I compared a wide mouth quart jar with a 1/4" hole covered by a SFD to a wide
mouth with a 3/8" hole covered by a SFD to a regular mouth quart jar that had
four 1/16" holes covered by a whole SFD and noticed no difference at all in colonization times in either jar

I just do a 1/4" hole stuffed tightly with polyfill and a square of tyvek underneath. Simple and effective.

Twist it into a rope, and, as you twist, keep adding more fiber. Then, you can just thread the rope through the hole. Super easy.

No shit? That's really good to know. My nearby post office hasn't had tyvek envelopes lately and I'd like to keep what's left of my tyvek suit :awesome:
