First grow

After a heroic dose left my brother and I feeling like we missed something I had 6 jars inoculated exactly one week later. 10 days later and they look life this. Pictures are "front"and "back". Not sure why exactly one is getting way crazier than the others but I assume the rest will catch up. 0 contams thus far. UpDaYtE. First two day 13 second two day 10

I took the foil off one of my jars after reading all the posts saying to do it. Nada only one that's stalled with only a couple very very small patches in it. It's so depressing I didn't even get it in the picture.

The foil is my lid if i took the foil off they would be open jars nothing on top of them at all. I Inoculated through the foil. Please post a picture of a PF jar with nothing covering it at all and I'll remove all foil.

Mason jars have lids. Using foil as the lid is for people living in third world squalor that have to use drinking glasses. Use lids for success

I have some faith that he at least didn't have any lids at the time of pcing I hope you didn't just decide not to use lids when you had lids readily available... Although I dont disagree and even if you didn't have lids they would be a good investment and not that expensive either

Actually the pf tek I followed said either or. It's last update was recent Oct. 2016 so I assumed if uncovering was needed it would have told me to do so. The pictures of all their jars has foil covering the jars from just after inoculation to birthing with no holes visible on top of their jars. 5 of the six are really colonizing well with no visible contaminations. The sixth was not even a canning jar just a wide squatty half pint cup but it's finally coming around too. I think the inoculation in that one didn't really hit the outside layer like it was supposed to and is going from inside out. A much as I'd love to just take the foil off at this point I think I'm gonna leave well enough alone and continue following the tek I started with. I got two syringes with my order of one cambodian and next round I'll be using the lids instead of the foil. The second strain was actually the meanies which was discovered in this area so come late February early March I'll be starting my outside garden of them. Got 8 acres might as well put some land to use. I'm quite familiar with lab procedures sterility and following the directions given to me lol which is exactly what I've done here. I've read several posts after i had inoculated my jars saying to take the foil off so i tried it on one and it stopped while the others thrived. I feel confident that my grow is currently being successful so thanks for all the suggestions except the Doomed Bro guy.

Lol opinions are allowed. Even if you grew one fruit you could consider it a success. Foil lids just aren't proper procedure. It doesn't mean they haven't worked, they just haven't worked enough. Who wants to look at a grow they spent 2 months on only to say "meh, good enough"?

Pbf is right they can work, I've used them a few times but there is a noticeable increase in binned jars. Lids are cheap, so are jars with lids if your stuck or like me bored and was the last Pf tek your gonna do then fire away, but if this is the way you plan to go for a while its worth investing a couple $ or £ (depending on location) in a few well fitting lids they honestly do make a difference. I've argued this myself so have tried it twice with the same result, it does work just not that well.
