First grow.....Got my fingers crossed!

Last night i inoculated my 5 first jars - 4 of them wide mouth and 1 regular jar. I hope that it will work out and all jars will not be contaminated, because i dont have PC and i used regular pot and sterilized jars for 1h. Another problem that i encountered is all the home depos sell only fine perlite which will most likely will spill out from my sgfc, any coments on this one? Sorry if my eng is bad . I will post some pics when my B+ will start to colonize.
Cheers to everyone! And wish me some luck.

Didn't really use any one tek. Just researched everything for a couple weeks and put all my knowledge together. Pressure cooker. If you ever have any questions just hit me up.

We will see....
The perlite should be ok...once you get it all in there it doesn't really fall through the holes.

Biggest thing is just be patent an try not to mess with them that much. An keep the jars as close as you can to about 80-85 degrees. It will make the process go faster

I really suggest a pressure cooker. They are cheap like 30 bucks on amazon. I did brf with steam/boil for 2 hours and failed. Not too sure why. Switched to pressure cooker and grain and so far so good should be fully colonized in a week or so.

Typically room temp is fine 70-77 because insides are a bit warmer

Jars sit in box that have constant 83 degrees. After colonization will start i plan to get them out so they get some light and also then im going to take off foil from lids...should i even take foil off? Cuz contaminants can get inside jar trough 4 holes in lid!!!

If you have the dry verm layer take the foil off and don't worry so much about the temp. Higher temps just promote more bacteria growth anyways.

Best to leave foil on. Also make sure you put about an inch of just vermiculite at the top of the jar. The vermiculite will also help keep contemns out.

But doesnt jars colonize slower in lower temperatures?

Telling you high temps helps the process. I split my 8 jars in four an four. keep first batch at about 82 an the second at about 74 the 74 jars took about a week an half longer to colonize.

Winging it on your first grow, is the best way to get success ........on your second grow.  I usually do 90 minutes in a pc. 60 minutes without a pc. Isn't quite long enough. I've read teks where people will go 2 hrs. In a steam pot. Good luck. P.L.U.R.
