Who knows we dont buy kits we diy.    Your going to want wide mouth jars.    It makes them slide out upon birthing. Im sure you can get the supplys for under fifty a pack of brf jars 12 has 2 plus oz dry potential. And the next time you run cakes it will be even cheaper, like 10 bucks for two oz.                      Anytime anywhere for the rest of your life.......priceless

Thanks, yes, I do have a pressure cooker.
I'll try to find some proper jars, do they need to have something special or just simple jars with the right size?

The kit cost me 30 euro through Internet, but in a trusted shop I know they have 100% mycelium kits for 35e, spore syringes for 12,5e
150 sound like fraud to me omg, do people really pay that much?




Grow Kits are built by greedy companies with far outdated principles of mycology. They will cause you to fail 99% of the time. They are not foolproof, they will prove you to be a fool.

Mycology takes time and patience to get right- even people that have been growing certain varieties for years upon years make mistakes that could cause an entire grow to be thrown out.

It is best that you start with the PF Tek, yes-it's going to be more expensive than your grow kit-but we can basically guarantee you success with the PF Tek (unless you are one of those types who are going to not follow directions and screw up your grow because your ego won't allow you to listen to others...unfortunately this happens quite a bit here...).
If you really want to start getting into the hobby - the PF Tek can lead you into isolating genetics with agar, spawning to bulk, etc...

Furthermore, if you don't want to get into mycology and just want a decent flush so you can have fun with your friends, the PF Tek will get you there as well.

The grow kit needs to be thrown away immediately, it cannot be saved.
Burn it with fire...

Yeah grow kits online are like 150. Have saved a few friends from wasting their hard earned money so far

Basically you want wide mouth jars. Have you read pf tek yet?
The jars mouth needs to be as wide as the jar itself. That way you can plop out the contents still intact.

Stop following the instructions when it gets to the part on constructing your terrarium. You already know the SGFC. Thats the best way to fruit cakes

I've been reading a lot these days about PF-Tek and SGFC, hopefully I'll have everything ready for next week, just need to find the jars, the only ones I can find are narrow.

Are these ones from amazon okay?
230mL, that's almost 1/2 pint I think.

They look like half-pint widemouth jars :thumbup: , any chance of linking to the Amazon product page to eliminate any question?

This one
https://www.amazon.es/Cap-Cro-mermelada-revisado-antideslizante/dp/B00LTXN2IY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1471454801&sr=8-3&keywords=tarro+de+cristal+cap-cro
But it seems not available, or they're charging very high shipping costs.

Those look like they'd work. But if they're unavailable, they definitely won't work :tongue:

After checking on amazon.es, these jars aren't exactly what the tek calls for, they seem to be a little bit taller and more narrow overall, but they should work
https://www.amazon.es/Palla-trapuntato-Crystal-Jelly-Jar-8/dp/B00B80TJUI/

It is possible the needle of the syringe will not penetrate as deeply as it would in a traditional widemouth half-pint canning jar; not sure what effect, if any, this would have.

What's important is that they are half-pint, the walls are smooth and should present no problem when birthing cakes.

Thank you. I'm still searching in shops around if they have, so far I've found these but I'm not sure about the size nor the lid.

They look like they hold less than a half pint and those lids would be problematic, since they can't be punctured.

Canned fruit? I can only think of jam.
Veggies of course but I swear, all the jars are with the narrow mouth, I've been searching all day everywhere, I couldn't find anything, my feet hurt.
Not even in the chinese bazars:


Tomorrow I'm checking this grocery store, on the webpage they seem to have what I need

:cantarguewiththat:

Look for something like this https://www.amazon.com/Glad-Storage-Containers-LockWare-Extra/dp/B008VSX3O8 9.5oz is just a little bit larger than what you need, but you could take advantage of this extra space for a slightly thicker dry verm layer :super:

Not exactly this, because the price is criminal, but this is what GODS is referring to. If you're buying them from a brick and mortar store, make sure the plastic tubs say "PP5" on them before you leave. The last thing you want is a mess of melted plastic, BRF and verm stewing in your stock pot or pressure cooker...

Do not go with these. They have a reputation of stalling. They CAN work but I have had bad experience with them and so have many others.
I would go with 1/4 pint jars before buying tall 1/2 pints.

When following the tek to the T the 1/2 pint are whats called for not best to start deviating from teks on first go around. But yea those little jars colonize fine but the half pints colonize just as well for larger flushes

Getting the tall 1/2 pints is deviating from the tek and are known to cause issues.

Widemouth and no more than 1/2 pint is the key to success when finding a suitable jar for PF.

1/4 pint jars deviates from the tek, yes, but higher success rate than tall 1/2 pints.

12 half pint jars is twice the yield of 12 1/4 pint jars. You would have to pay twice the jar money. Do you only do 1/4 pint cakes? Ive down 1/4 pints as well and i like there colonization times. Ive also done the larger than half pint with pretty good success. But wouldnt recommend it to any1.  Nor do i recommend deviating from tek when noobs got a kit and consider pf tek.  I mean its a recipe its been around since mid 90s millions have duplicated p fanitcus success. No need to experiment on that , experience will lead you down the road as it comes.
