Here's a silly question...do you still have the foil on your jars?
Naw I used the ziplock containers in the Grass seed tek. But I used BRF instead of grass seed, as that was what was recommended for noobs.

FUCK!! Contamination. Still got one good container though, that is not showing any contamination. Hopefully it never shows up.

Did you start with grain jars? (Sorry, lots of people and my short-term memory is shot.) We have found it a lot harder to do grain than brf cakes. Our first attempts with PF-Tek didn't work, but we kept at it. We've done very well with PF-Tek, and learned a lot. Nice to have success. We are fans of people starting with PF-Tek and brf. It works. You'll be successful with grain eventually, but it's a steeper learning curve. Just a suggestion if you get frustrated.
Peace.

Naw I started with Violets ziplock container plastic jar tek. You can use BRF, as she states in the guide, if you're a noob like me. So that's what I used. I liked the neglect grow, as she called it. Once its fully colonized, you don't do anything but crack the lids for some air, and wait to pick your mushrooms. This appealed to me. But today in one of my containers, there was green mold! Noooo....
Well I still got one container going. I only did 2. I'm going to go ahead and do up a bunch more, but this time using rye grass seed like the tek is mainly about. Because my pressure cooker doesn't have a PSI gauge, and that isn't to my liking. I couldn't tell if it ever did reach 15 psi. It just sat there and spewed the whole time, who knows what the damn thing was doing. But with her grass seed tek, you can sterilize in the microwave. That's sounds a lot better to me. At least then you can tell you got the job done.

Nonono, the only think I have succeeded sterilizing in the microwave is no-pour agar!

Oh ok. Well I hadn't gone back and reread the guide yet, so I'm sure I would have found that out.
I didn't try it or anything yet, lol

Are we being trolled? I suggest no one participate in this thread anymore until we get a straight story.

No sir. No troll here. Maybe you misread, what part sounds like trolling?
