halloween birthday

someone is going to inocculate on halloween, kinda spooky or religious or something.
they mixed an experimental mix of 12 1/2 pint gars (actually the 8oz jelly jars which are skinnier and taller, all that were available but theyll work). the mix was PF style but used half and half rye flour and BRF. that mixture accounted for about 65% of the substrate, the other 35% was popcorn which soaked 7 hours them simmered for about 25 min. trying to go for a well-rounded and multi-nutritious substrate to make the babies happy and healthy. all 12 jars will be spawned to straw casings, not sure about the casing layer yet. 50% verm and 50% mayve coir or some composted soil depends on what someone can find at the store. only problem is that they will be inocculated later tonight and nobody has an incubator set up!!! gonna see how the space heater works with the knocked up jars in the original jar's box all in a closet. if not someone will have to break down and buy the tubs and water heater, hopefully not yet because money is tight like a 10 year old.
only thing is that the PC used doesnt have a jiggler, its a screw-type adjuster to regulate the boost. i mean pressure hahaha so while someone was in the shower their significant other saw it go to 20psi, turned ity down and it dropped to about 11, then turned it back up and someone kept it regulated from 19-21psi. since presure started it was about 45 min and afterwards they let pressure escape down to 15PSI, closed of the petcock and just let it set while they go to work to cool.
anyone think the starting pressure (about 17psi) dropping to 11 then back to a steady 20PSI may have busted some kernels?? they hope not but if they did break open they still will colonize right? maybe not as fast??? o well they will have to see afterwards when the PC is opened later today for the injection!!! wish someone good luck please!!

If they busted you might be in for a contam or two. My friend did that (went to 18psi) an busted alot of whole br seeds. Maby the popcorn has a stronger hull and you will be fine. GOod luck.
