Air exchange question
    #23395949 - 06/29/16 11:20 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

So i just finished sterilizing 12 1/2 pint jars for my first grow. Im going with pf tek method. I have one small hole poked in each lid with medical tape on the hole, and then the tinfoil. After i inject spires should i replace tinfoil or just leave it off. Ive read both but i want opinions based off experience growing using this method. Sorry if this is a repetitive question but as i said i've gotten mixed answers from reading alone.

Where did you read to leave foil on after sterilization? I don't know of one single PF TEK that says to do that.

Show me where this bad info still is

Read what the responses were on that old thread..the foil is only added to prevent moisture buildup on the verm top layer and lid during pc. Remove it at inoculation always.

Mycotopia is garbage. Get your teks from reliable, time tested, results proven, etc..


Third link in my signature. Follow the real PF TEK

It's been done, but 2-4 are recommended for inoculation points and GE. You don't want to inoculate a PF jar in the middle..otherwise you'll never see colonization or catch contams early. Somewhere you got mixed up.

Would it be worth it to punch another hole and resterilize? If one will work im not going to. Also I know how to inoculate just mixed up on GE

Let's grow mushrooms video says to remove foil and tells you all about correct jar lid design.
