My first grow ever!

I've been on this website for quite sometime but this is my first post. I recently just placed my cakes in my fruiting chamber so id like to share everything so far.
The first day I had created 5 BRF jars using all instructions from the web site. I ordered most materials from amazon for under $60 and my Maztapec syringe from SPONSOR. I followed all directions to a T except I did one thing different and that I used a crockpot to sterilize my jars. Then I inoculated, placed jars in closet and waited 3 weeks or so. 3 of my jars had fully colonized and the other two showed no sign of mycellium growth or contamination. I believe that some moisture had gotten in the two jars from the crockpot which is why they hadn't grown. My third jar had attracted ants for a day and they even went inside the jar but to my suprise no contams have arrived from it. Currently my 3 cakes are in my sgfc and seem to be doing well.

This was a bad idea......that did not sterilize anything.....crock pots(slow cookers) do not really get hot enough to kill anything(I don't think).....I hope it works for you but dam, you kinda made a big mistake there....I wouldn't do it again, even if it does end up working out this time.
Looking at the pics, the cakes look ok, just give them some time.....then again they could be full of bacteria.....who knows.

Your definitely right! I was lucky enough that my crockpot gets up to 400 so hopefully it all goes well. And glad to know they look okay!! I couldn't believe it was okay after the ants!
