Looks fine to me...take the tin foil off if you have a verm layer under the lids.

Good to hear thank you. I bought these jars from midwestgrowkits. Not sure if I can take foil off or not.

Looks normal and actually seems to be colonizing at a good speed! I would definitely remove the foil tops if you used a dry top verm layer.
Great Job!

They are starting to build moisture. On the sides of the glass. I read that this means its growing at a healthy rate. Is this to be true?

I can't see much detail in the out-of-focus picture but you should quickly dispose of them outside if you identify contaminated jars. Yellow, orange, or red secretions may just be metabolites produced by the mycelium as it fights a bit of bacteria.

I have not seen contamination. Im seeing a few jars have yellow spots. So the yellow could mean Iβm still ok? Just mycelium trying to fight off bacteria?

Yeah, don't trip on metabolites if they are minimal. If it starts growing exponentially you'll see it and then should toss it.

Still looking ok? Metabolites? Not all of them have it these are the worst. Also have 7 at 90-99 percent. The others are between 60-80 percents. http://

Looks like they are bacterial. The mycelium was looking good but upon closer examination of your first set of pics your jars look a little wet. You can still birth them and as long as they smell okay you might be able to get a flush out of them if the others are not as bad as these. Sorry about your luck. Hopefully you get get something to possibly clone to agar or obtain a print for future projects.

You can. Just keep an eye on the ones that are most suspect. Any extreme changes in smell or appearance I would remove asap. You could always fruit the more suspect ones in a bottle tek. https://shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10999533#10999533 This is the basic concept even though the post is old.

Well they are certainly ready - Go for it. Make sure your fruiting chamber is good to go before you birth you cakes. Best of luck on your first grow!

No, you're tlaking ~93% water. That fresh mushie is less than a gram of dry mush. Closer to micro dose than a trippy dose. I would start drying and wait for those other pins in the pic to mature, put'em together.

Honestly that might be enough, if you canβt wait I wouldnβt be worried about it not being enough for a good time! I recently harvested my first ever flush and dried them, me and my girlfriend had .65 of a gram each soaked in lemon juice (her first time tripping and my first time in a couple years) and we ended up tripping balls for a solid 4-5 hours, we were laughing for hours and she couldnβt believe how amazing it was seeing things actually move! Definitely wasnβt my strongest trip but it was a good time.
Edit: there were a few aborts in the mix so they may have been why the effects were strong, or it was because I havenβt had them in so long and it was her first time but from what youβve said I would assume you would get a decent buzz off it.

They sure feel snap dry kind of like a saltine cracker dry. I was only gone for 2.5 hours while they were in the dehydrator.

From my own experience, they are a bit stronger fresh. But more of a body load. Fresh is the only way I eat them, the dry ones I give to my 3 sons. i think dry shrooms are fucking gross.

The brown looks like psuedomona (necrotic (dead) tissue caused by bacterial infection) now that they're fruiting, I'd probably fold up a tray with aluminum foil (I typically use the jar the cakes come from so I know it's slightly larger, and about 1/2 deep) to do some bottom watering: shallow pool of water that the cake sits in from 1-24 hrs (depending on how dry the cake is, how humid (or dry) your environment is etc) or longer... just be sure to change the water at least once a day... make sure your FAE is sufficient... hope this helps, but seems bacteria is taking hold
