Did you cover your lids with foil and tape your holes?
Are you shouting at us? Please take the caps lock off, it's annoying to read.

I usually have small condensation dots all over my BRF jars. As long as they are covered with foil, and mixed per relative TEK, all should be fine, and have always worked perfectly for me. Yeah quit that shoutin shit.

As stated, foil on top of the lids to keep condensation out during sterilization.
Just make sure it's pressed down nice and flat and making a good seal on top and around sides.
I like to double up on the foil with BRF jars.

I wouldn't be shaking though if it is a brf jar as you will fuck up the dry verm barrier and surely lead your jars to contaminate. Condensation is normal. Just be sure to let them sit 24hrs before inoculation.

Yup! When inoculating your syringe has 5 lines per cc, or should. They say to inoculate with 1 cc per jar but I have found that using less is more as you don't want to change the moisture content to much in your jars. I normally use about 0.2cc per inoculation hole. total of 0.8cc per jar. Which means you should be able to inoculate 12 jars easy with a full syringe. Wishing you the best of luck in your shrooming ventures!

I currently have 12 jars of GT on the go that are ready to be birthed soon. Giving them a few days extra just to ensure full consolidation. Will be updating this thread as they progress if you wish to follow and take . https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25062614

Oh. I mean with grain jars. Not pf-tek. I didn't realize you were talking about Pf-tek. My bad.

I've done a lot of GT the last month and a 1/2, I love it! You'll have fun with it, it's a trip.
To the all caps shouting son of a Bitch you might see some issues with high moisture levels, but not really stalling, more of higher chance of infection. So don't look at it every hour (Don't lie we all grew our first before) and look at it in the morn and evening. Inoculate that moist pussy of a jar and see where it goes, at worse you loose 1 c.c of spores, that's nothing! Don't sweat it.

To my knowledge the extra condensation is only a real issue during the incubation time if, 1) you temps are to high and contamination becomes the issue. Or, 2) the condensation in the jar begins pooling at the bottom which can lead to contamination as the water pooling becomes stagnant! I have had a few jars with high condensation that have stalled at about 80% so I flipped them allowing for the pooling water at the bottom to redistribute itself. They finished colonizing about a week later than the other jars and were fine and others that ended up taming out. Now when I make jars I make my sub with a little less water just to ensure this issue doesn't happen. Condensation can still form though if the internal temps are higher than external temps, but not as bad if your sub already has less moisture in it.
