Micropore tape over PF tek jar lids? yay or nay?

Discuss, is this a pointless practice or a necessity?

Not necessary. The top layer of vermiculite serves as an ample contaminate barrier, save your tape :thumbup:

Should the dry verm contaminate barrier be discarded before the dunk process?

What about taping prior to PC? Is wrapping the top with foil good enough to protect from additional moisture entering the jars while PCing or do you need the tape?

:whathesaid: Bet me to it, was gonna say.

You do not need tape, foil on the jar wrapped up at the base, is fine to place in the PC without tape.

I may be misunderstanding what you mean by wrapped up at the base... but just a square crimped down over the lid is good...no need in enveloping the jar in foil completely.

Micropore tape is used to prevent contaminates and supply gas exchange. It is porous, and therefor will not benefit for moisture control.

I've never usee micropore, just regular tape. I've known for a while that its not necessary for contam protection with dry verm layer but was still using during sterilization to prevent any steam from finding its way into the holes

tearing up all those lil pieces of tape and then scraping them off was a huge pain, looking forward to never dealing with that again

If you have micro pour tape, then just fill your jars up with out the verm barrierr and use 3 layers of MP tape.

Of course this isn't a PF tek anymore, but you can now Shake them and have a tiny bit more nutes.

You have misunderstood me, I meant warped at the base of the foil not the jar.

How much verm to top the jars. I will most likely be using half pint.


Pint vs. Half pink?

About a 1/4" ... MAKE SURE you wipe the inside top lip of the jar with a paper towel before you put your dry Verm on there.

Maybe not a very good idea....

If you shake a BRF/Verm jar it is going to cause substrate to compact which will inhibit and possibly stall colonization. :shrug:
