Okay, I'll go to the store today and get more mix. I think this time I will only do six jars, so will the ratios 2:1:1 be fine for that?

Ok, so we've established that the white color is not mycelium. Which means that the yellowish color is not a by-product of mycelial growth. That color can show up in jars that are colonized, but uncolonized BRF should not look like that. My best guess would be that your BRF is too fine. Also, it would help if you mix the BRF with verm and THEN add the water. Sounds like what you have in those jars is wet verm coated with dry, powdery BRF. It's not going to be ideal. I would start over.

Okay, I am about to start over. The reason I mixed the water with verm first is because the two PF Teks I was reading said to do that.

I think I am going to do 10 jars this time around, so will 2:1:1 ratio per 5 jars be okay?

I restarted and got some new jars made, and here is the product -




I think they look a lot better then the first batch! Please give me your opinions.

The ratio I was using for my mix was 4 cups of Verm: 2 cups of BRF: 1 cup of Water. This was for 8 half pint wide mouth jars.

I first added in my 4 cups of Verm and then added the 1 cup of Water, then I picked up a handful to squeeze it to see if I needed to add anymore water. Only a few drops came out so I called it good, then I added the 2 cups of BRF.

Here is what it looked like once I loaded the jars -

I knew this looked very white compared to pictures I had seen on guides, but the person guiding me through all this said it should be fine so I went through with it.

The brownish/yellow areas didn't popup until around 6 days after germination.

Please help me! If you guys think I should start over I will toss these jars and restart. I'm not sure why the mix turned out like that, but after I made the first batch of mix I even made a new batch ratio of 2:1:1 and even that turned out to look very white.

Here is the Verm and BRF I am using for the mix -

I also was using distilled water.




Wrong ratio as everyone has pointed out but they easiest way to mix it up thoroughly is to first mix the dry ingredients together. Then slowly mix in the water. I put 2 cups verm in a mixing bowl. Then I mix in 1 cup of BRF. Then I slowly mix in 1 cup of water. SOMETIMES I only need 3/4 cup of water...
