This is confusing af

I have no idea what is going on ,
Anyway so 6 days ago I decided to inject my first jars, I have 3 375ml jars filled with vermiculite and BRF (I followed the PF TEK method exactly) that have been steam sterilized in a PC and then I have a jar with exactly the same thing in with exactly the same measurement but microwaved instead.
Now the thing is is that the microwaved jar is colonizing FASTER than the 3 PC jars and seems to have more moisture inside, also I inoculated all 4 jars on the same day at the same time and have all been sitting in my drawer at a constant 73 - 75 f
Can someone please explain this to me? I've looked everywhere on the forums for it and found nothing . . .
Pics are below
Thanks.

I'm confused af also. Because I see no mycelium. Lol. Are you talking about germinated spores faster? Why wouldn't you use the PC for all your jars and sterilize instead of using a janky method for a last jar?
6 days is also a short period of time to have any reasonable colonization.

An experiment? Here we go… prepare to get told.
What made you think a contraption that can't even heat my frozen burrito properly--something it's made for--would sufficiently sterilize your jar?
Those jars will need to breathe. If you have lids, you should take off the foil too.
I didn't read the rest b/c I'm exhausted. I am sure a couple vets will have some input coming.

Tsk tsk tsk. What do we have here... an "experiment" hmm AcidJunkie? Well prepare your cyber anus cause youre about to get told my friend!
But in all seriousness theres a reason we use pc for nearly everything involving sterilization. I think the 350 ml jars is an experiment enough.
You would have had to microwave that jar in a dish of water for an hour I would guess for it to have any effect I can only assume

Lol!! Idk bro it's colonizing way faster. It's just invisible mycelium. You need an overseer to see it

Man, what's with all these "experiments" lately? Especially from newbies. Like pasty said in another thread recently, what's your hypothesis?
I don't see any myc. You'll know it when you see it.

Even if he didn't have enough room in his PC for the final jar, why put it in the fucking microwave instead of steam sterilize?
He shoulda poured gas on it and lit a match. Same outcome but would have at least been entertaining. I want to know if he added the foil after microwaving or before. . .
