Hey guys, it's been quite awhile since I've been on here! My last (and first) grow was fairly successful; I believe I got around 7-8g dried yield. Not fantastic, but good enough given that it was my first attempt and that I used pre made jars! Now, however, I've started my new project, which should hopefully turn out even better. I followed RR's video guide and made 5 half pint jars, which are are now sitting on my shelf (pictured below). I will be keeping this thread up to date with follow ups, questions (because you fine folks are the people I trust), as well as progress reports! Any comments or questions are much appreciated! Happy growing :mushroom2:

Congratz dude. Good thing you made your own jars. It feels so rewarding knowing that you get out what you put in. Keep us updated :rockon:

You're supposed to use half-pint wide mouth jars. Those are the tall regular mouth. They may stall on you.

Yeah, I know. I found out after I had already bought them. They're still half pint though so hopefully it won't be too bad. Do you know specifically why the wide mouth ones are better?

Wide-mouth are easier to remove after consolidation.

They are ball 1/2 pint jars. I use the same thing, no problem. Kerr wide-mouth jars can be hard to come by. As long as they are tapered and 1/2 pint you shouldn't have an issue. Shorter jars are better because of colonization time. Reg mouth jars can't be used for PF tek because it would be impossible to birth the cake. Tapered jars make it easier to birth the cakes, too.

Taller jars can tend to stall is the problem. The bottom of the jar is far enough from the GE that sometimes it won't reach.

Ace hardware usually carries the right jars.

I will check Ace out because I really want those Kerr jars for future projects!

Does having 4 inoculation holes help with that? Also, other than the size, do those jars look alright to you?

I don't judge other peoples' pics like that. My computer sucks and I need glasses that I can't afford. Gonna have to wait for someone else on that one.

I dunno what's going on. When I click to zoom in the pics, it says they were deleted. Did you delete them?

They should be ok because I have used the same ones. Be warned though it's going to be a bitch to get the cake out though

First question of the thread: how soon should mycelial growth start? I know there's no exact answer, but on average, or at least with this set up, what should I be expecting? My average temperature is around 75f, and I used 1cc of B+ spore solution via 4 inoculation holes in each jar.

I've seen signs of growth at day 3 but it can take up to 2 weeks.

I use the same jars on occasion with no problems..

if its tough to get them out I usually hold the jar upside-down and hit against the side of my leg on one side of the jar, then the other side of the jar. The cake will slowly wedge itself out of the jar.

I've also found that you can use less than a cc per jar and be a-ok as well.. as long as you get one or two good droplets per hole

Another question! In regards to the gas exchange hole at the top, should the micropore tape be removed during the colonization period? And if not, what about the holes that were created by the syringe during inoculation? Should those be covered with additional tape?
