Looking nice and clean
Did my first jars in 28°C too (colonization), lost half of them to bacteria. next time I'll go "slow" but safe with room temperature.

MS: yes SAB: not really, just a big plastic bag held open by a couple of big glasses ( built a real one now though ) PC: about 120min with the "high" setting on my PC ~13psi
had tall glasses too (another mistake of not reading enough ^^) but dunno if that leads to bacteria

Ms syringe are usually the culprit's in contams and.bacteria before full colonization and or the first flush in bulk and cakes. Weve all chunked.plenty.of perfectly sterilized contam free jars due.to bacteria or other contams in syringes bought.online. they're a crap shoot. That's why we use agar to clean them up.. Also try and look into purchasing.a PC that can achieve 15psi. I've heard of success with less but to be safe we all use 15. Some even go beyond that. But 15 is better for sterilization. Ur time is right.though. I go 2 hrs as well. Post some pics man. Keep on researching and have.patience man. Slow and steady wins the race. Good luck

AGAR is already in the makings , lurked a real long time here and have a quite succesful grow atm so also a hint for you jacubvrev now that you have some shrooms:
have a look into AGAR and cloning it seems the way to go, also AGAR looks like a shitload of fun 
(I'm already looking for a new PC but they are quite expensive,considering the costs of tossing some rye berries or anything like that. But as I want to continue with coir trays I'm anyhow looking for a bigger PC than mine (12cm high))

Pcing.at 15 psi is the only way to know for.sure that its sterile. I mean there are lots of ways to go about it but the.easyest and best ways are to PC or use a steam sterilizer. They work a little.differently but give u siliar results. Ime. Now others may tell u different but most of us use pcers. I've never had issues with my grain or cakes getting too dry. As long.as u have a proper filter for ge and cover them with foil u shouldn't.have.a.problem. if your just boiling.them I wouldn't know. I've never done it that way. I started with a presto 16q PC for 60 bucks at Walmart. Worked perfect every time. Just do some searching around. And for new cultivators. Always follow the cake and bulk teks to the t. No shortcuts until you get used to all the tekniques and cycles of growth. Then start expirementing. Gotta crawl before you run ya know?

in a PC you won't dry out your jars (physics and stuff ;D) in a oven you can for sure. If you just boil it, there is a method to "sterilize" it, although I dont know the exact name of it right now (not quite sober atm ). But you have to boil it several times (that's to kill the spores which sustain 100°C if they're not germinated, not sure about bacteria though)
Edit: If you're testing a substrate let us know what you're using and the results, that's the way better solutions are found

Yeah idk anything about the boiling.tek I mean I've seen a thread about it I think but didn't read into it at all. There's a way to do it I'm sure but I mean the.most trusted and used method is a PC.
