Hi so I used this method and got a brf jar about 85% colonized and then it got contam in the 15% uncolonized part. I took the cake out, cleared the uncolonized/ contammed part, sterilized the jar and put the cake back in the jar with fresh verm. I've been attempting to fruit using this tek but no luck after 2 weeks. Should I try a SGFC? Is this cake just done for? Any ideas?

I really hope those pins find their way to the top.  It's so depressing watching pins abort while there's nothing you can do. I birthed 7 cakes to sgfc, I have 2 small monos incubating, and 3 cakes that are about 3 days from dunking. I am going to try the bag tek on them as an experiment. In the past, I would cut off good parts of contaminated cakes, break it up, mix it with gardening soil and pasteurized horse manure.  I would put it all in coffee cans made to sgfc standards (holes), cover it with plastic wrap with holes in it.  I misted every few days and just kinda pumped the plastic wrap up and down to fan. I think the most I got was 10 dried grains off one flush. Each can only had at most half a cake so I think the manure helped big time.

I'm not worried .... lol ...

My jar is just growing side pins well they aren't pins anymore they are full mushrooms growing around the jar which i find weird. I have a CV layer on top which i thought would help promote pins on the top but so far it hasn't, should i ditch the CV after this first flush? or add a new one but less? when should i harvest these also? because its hard to tell when they are mushed inside the jar like this. Thanks in advance!

Since you have those short wide mouthjars they should pop out easy. Those pins look like they are still salvageable for growing normally.

So just let it go as it is? and just see if they pop out the top? i mean i didn't plan on doing much beside harvesting if i can ever tell when they are ready.
