anyone ever had luck with pre-sterilized spawn bought offline? i cant seem to do it right when i pressure cook my own, water always ends up inside which throws off the ratio, any help is appreciated thanks!

I always sterilize my own. I did waste like twelve bags before getting it right.
How many bags/times have you tried & what tek did you base your prep off?

If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
That it's one thing to try and another to fly
You get there quicker just a step at a time
It's one thing to bark, another to bite

Let us help you get your grains right instead? Once you have that ability you have it forever. What grains are you using? What tek are you following? Plenty of sponsors sell pre-sterilized grains if you must. However, you got a lot of people here that can help you get on track and save some $.

if you have a pressure cooker buy a bag of grains and stop messing with brf-cakes, your mixing up the pf-tek and how to do bulk grain jars.
find a cheap grain you can buy in bulk and we'll help you find a good prep for it. any grain but pop corn really..

try raising the pressure slower...
I'd still say if you already got a PC there's no need to mess around with cakes

are you PC'ing trays? just PC jars with proper lids on them, and spawn those jars to trays after colonization. or to a monotub. or fruit as cakes if you're doing pf-tek. but dont pc a tray, no wonder if water got into those.
how's the lids made?

what do you recommend as a proper lid? i use a small hole stuffed with polyfill tightly for GE and then a 1/4 hole for injection port as for the trays i use these ones http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ziploc-Medium-Square-Containers-3-count/39444457 and two of the raised squares on the lid are holes with polypill stuffed highly and two are injection ports from silicone n i wrap them w foil but not fully

Yeah stop PCing the trays. Prepare the coir separately and just mix the grain and coir together in the tray by hand.
