I can't find regular mouth half pint jars on the internet, not the ones that you have. I have the tall half pint jars but they are very narrow for the blender blades.

Only the all metal blending base is autoclavable...
You should secure it to a jar with a jar band...

just to show something that will throw many on a loop. this is a 2 quart wbs grain slurry to 9 quarts of verm. this is day 10. 3rd try on the slurries. subs were oven pasteurized. this is uncased. the sub colonized in 3 days and was put into fruiting on day 4.

Substrate is 9 quarts volume.

1 small brick coir
2 quarts verm
a cup of gypsum
5 quarts water

its usually 10 quarts volume for me. what i did was take about a quart of that volume out and use it as casing layers for other tubs.

Oh, cool, so there is coir in there.  Whew.  You had me REALLY going for a loop there.

this is what i did.

GRAIN WAS PREPPED USING FOOMAN'S GRAIN TEK IN 2 HOURS

MADE 40 QUARTS WBS GRAIN JARS FROM 1 PF JAR SLURRY (THAI CLONE FOR A TEST RUN BELOW)



THAI LIPA YAI (TEST CLONE UNCASED TUB):                                             
TUB 1 YIELD: TOTAL 450g 17.9 oz
1st: 240 grams 8.5 oz
2nd: 70 grams 2.5oz
3rd: 59g 2oz
4th: 81g 2.9oz




MIXED UP 1 SMALL BRICKS COIR, 2 QUARTS VERM, 1 CUP GYPSUM, 5 QUARTS WATER

EXPANDED THE COIR WITH HOT WATER

DUMPED IN THE DRY VERM AND MIXED IT ALL UP WITH THE COIR. THEN POURED THE GYPSUM THAT WAS MIXED IN WITH 4 CUPS OF THE WARM WATER ON TOP OF THE VERM COIR MIX. THEN MIXED IT ALL UP.


PUT IT IN TURKEY TINS IN THE OVEN FOR 2.5 HOURS. INNER CORE TEMP WAS BROUGHT TO 170 THEN SET FOR 2 HOURS AT THAT TEMP.


ONCE COOL, FLIPPED THE TURKEY TIN UPSIDE DOWN IN MY PRE LINED TUB.
I TOOK A WIDE MOUTH QUART JAR THAT I RETROFITTED A BLADE ASSEMBLY TO THE LID. I PRESSURE COOKED 3/4 QUART OF WATER AND THE BLADE ASSEMBLY. ONCE COOL, I USED A SHMUVBOX FOR CLEAN WORK AND TOOK THE LID OFF 1 COLONIZED QUART. I POURED HALF OF THE 3/4TH QUART OF WATER INTO THAT COLONIZED QUART AND QUICKLY PUT THE METAL BLADE ON IT. I THEN USED A DRILL BIT ON THE END OF THE BLENDER TO BLEND UP THE JAR. I THEN DID THE SAME THING ON THE 2ND COLONIZED QUART OF GRAIN. I POURED THE REST OF THE WATER INTO THE 2ND QUART, THEN PUT THE SAME LID ON THE 2ND QUART JAR. THEN BLENDED IT WITH THE DRILL BIT. I POURED IT ALL INTO THE SUBSTRATE AND MIXED IT IN THOROUGHLY WITH THE PASTEURIZED SUBSTRATE WITH GLOVES ON.(I DIDN'T TAKE PICS SO IM SUBSTITUTING SOME I HAVE THAT ILLUSTRATE THIS)

BLEND WASN'T QUITE THIS SOUPY BUT DID LOOK SOMEWHAT LIKE THIS.


THE QUART LID IS LIKE THIS.

Yeah. Speed is what I like. Lets get rid of this waiting game. Not to mention that using the 9er tek can get a clone to fully colonize a PF cake in 4 days. That clone PF cake can be expanded to over 50 qt jars of grain in another 3 days. LOOOK, 7 days to get 50qts of spawn. blows my fucking mind.
