Hit a lull in progress. Weather has been fucked way too hot so I have been keeping them under a blanket in my overly air conditioned room. I'm starting to get worried they won't colonize the substrate properly and they are all starting to smell a bit fishy. Also signs of some yellowish discoloration in the two most developed jars. I would calculate my odds of success at about 35%. Will post pics this weekend for 3 week mark

Heres a tip as well, the dry verm layer on top in pf jars actually works pretty damn good as a contamination barrier. That is, untill you start handling the jar every day, tilting it on its side, bumping lifting and placing back down- all this kind of action is risking contaminations making it past the dry verm barrier.
You need to check them MAYBE once a day if you're OCD. I'd say once every few days, and thats a quick glance to make sure an obvious contamination isn't rampaging, until they are fully colonized.
I know you're excited but you are fuckin it up for yourself man.

What does that have to do with anything? He's known it for a while, I've known it for a while, pretty sure most teks say not to disturb the verm barrier. You might indeed be fucking yourself there.

Yeah that's already too much of an angle to be tilting it at. Why are you having story time with them?

That sounds like a plan... you'd wish you hadn't been handling them when they are getting close to 100% and they've shrunk a little, and that contam barrier falls right in there between the cake and glass and leaves your cake vulnerable... no need to handle them...just admire.

The real excitement will come when those suckers start pumping out zoomers. After they are fully colonized it's pretty much clear sailing, just be patient until then. ur on the right track :thumbsup:

Another jar is starting to show amazing growth also. This one seems to have two miniature pin mushrooms growing on one side but the other side hasn't been fully colonize yet (at all). This is going to get interesting {the mushroom pin showings are in the bottom right part of the picture}

I have an emergency. What the fuck do I do here??? One side is growing inside the can and the other side isn't fully colonized...


I'm excited in 4 days 2 little pins grew into that but at the same time what the fuck do I do if they become overgrown before the cake is formed?
