Did I get the wrong jars, 1/2 pint? [SOLVED] I DID!!

Everywhere I read, I read wide mouth half pint jars. Right?

Please excuse the full pint jar, its cream for my coffee. But that is a wide mouth, pint jar. Looking at the videos and other posts, that looks closer to what everyone is using. The half pint just looks. Just way too small, right?
Oh, PF Tek is my current goal. TIA everyone! =]

*facepalm* Thought so. And the full pint's are too big right? Should I be looking for 3/4 pint jars? Do they even make those? Or should I use these wide mouth pint jars? Hahaha, I even went to like four stores to find these half pints. (I should have started with Walmart anyways...) Thanks yeroc1982!!

When I first started I too got those jars. I had to crumble em and make a tray in the sgfc. Honestly man, my suggestion is to go straight to wbs(wild bird seed) and do a mono tub.
The cakes and sgfc is a pain in the ass. Like 3x a day I had to mist and fan the thing until the fruits were done. Monotub will yield you more fruit and it's essentially set it and forget it.
Get yourself some quart jars and do some reading. I'll NEVER go back to brf and cakes.

I just did a grow with brf cakes crumbled into 2 monotubs. It's possible to go straight to monotubs with pf cakes. I suggest as well to go to monotubs immediately, the set and forget method imo works beyond wonders of the sgfc.

I don't plan to mist. I was going to utilize a bubbler in water and some lava rock in tub with a heater in the water to keep the temp stable inside.
I was under the assumption that PF Tek was the way to go for a beginner to understand the cycles. However, I haven't 'started' anything yet. Still gathering up my materials. I'll take a look at the mono tub and do some more reading.
I'm a HUGE. HUGE fan of set it and forget it! lol
As always, the help here is UNPARALLELED! Ya'll rule! thanks!

I can't find proper jars either. What's a good tek to follow for crumbling cakes to a tray in a sgfc?

These are the teks I use to do monotubs using wbs.

MONOTUB TEK: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=30&Number=8231041&PHPSESSID=&fpart=1#8231041 (for the two bottom holes on each long side of the tub I measure in 5.5" and up 4". The bottom of your 1.5" hole should be on this mark centered) I also use a piece of metal 1.5" pipe heated on the stove to make the holes. Easy and less messy.

Those are all the teks I use. I'm a complete noob. I literally have my first tub in fruiting mode now but I used these teks and it made things very easy imo.

if all you have available are tall regular mouth 1/2 pint jars those work perfectly too. its just a matter of technique of colonizing from the bottom up. you point your syringe to the tip of the glass and drip your spore solution down the side of the glass so that it drips down to the bottom. this myth that regular tall 1/2 pint jars are bad is completely wrong.
here is an example of colonizing these types of jars from bottom to top.
   
when i first began this hobby i did not have wide mouth 1/2 pints available so i had to make do with what i had. it works just fine. this example is a clone from stem tissue but it still works the exact same way if you were inoculating with a spore syringe.
