Holes w/poly or tyvek, or unmodified inverted works (loosen ring in pc). If GE seems important to you, drill 'em. I use tyvek but whatever works 4U.

I am making Pastywhyte’s agar dishes that I will drop into the jars.
How many holes do you drill in the lid?
I have microspore tape. Can I place that over the hole or holes?

---

Cool, Pastyplates rock.
1 hole w/mp tape.
Search hole in side also, avoids paper towel.

Um, in metal lids you can drill ''Holes w/poly or tyvek, or unmodified inverted works (loosen ring in pc).''
I hate to be 'that guy' but you might try the search posts feature?

Man I did search but I couldn’t find the answer. What’s the purpose of this forum if you can’t ask a legitimate question?

your question isn’t an issue as it was excellently answered but the fact is you can’t of looked too far

Thank you.

I’m about to start Bod’s easy af oat tek. I have wide mouth quart mason jars.

My question is, what do I do with the jars lid?

Do I modify it by drilling a 1/4” hole in the center and fill it with polifill?
Or
Place lid upside down and screw it tight?
Or
Use it as intended?

I have looked for this answer longer then I’d like to admit and I’m still confused.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer!

You mean his tek didn't make it clear?!

You can totally drill a 1/4" hole in the lid and stuff it tight with poly-fil and your jars will be just fine.

You should check out other ppls teks too...

Literally rule #1.

Rules

1.  Please use the search posts function before asking a question.  Your question has already been asked and answered hundreds of times, so don't think you're going to get a better answer by asking it again.  In the 'search posts' link at the top of the page, you can select an individual user or the trusted cultivator group as a whole to filter results to come only from them. more on how to use the search engine effectively

Here's another,

4.  Do not bump your own thread for at least 24 hours.  It's not fair to the other posters to have your thread constantly bumped to the top.  Violators will have their thread deleted. Every post you make has an available edit button so you can avoid double posting.

You got 3 in a row above this.

1) I used the search function,albiet poorly, with no results. I ran out of time to look for it and decided to ask a question . If answering my question was such a pain in your a@& please don’t strain your fragile fingers pushing buttons on your keyboard to help a fellow shroom enthusiasts navigate this forum to try to grow some meds for his severely depressed daughter. I have never been around mushrooms and have zero experience growing them. I have read several different articles stating the benefits of these gifts from nature, but I have no access to these meds so I am forced to try to figure out how to grow them on the fly. It’s like trying to learn a foreign language without a translator. Unfortunately I’m about as good on this phone as I am at growing shrooms.

Had you put that much effort into studying lid teks you wouldn't be all cranky now.
I and others offered advice and you weren't getting it so I reluctantly suggested the search post. You are the one acting all hurt and defensive.
Look at my register date, I'm a noob but I knew the answer to your question because I did my homework and tried to help you like I help others. I was the first to answer your question.
Won't happen again.
If you're growing psychedelics to distribute ''some meds for his severely depressed daughter'', I hope you research that better than this, you could wind up killing her.

You've read articles about the impressive results psilocybin has had on people with depression. If you haven't yet, read Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind. I genuinely believe these mushrooms have a tremendous power to heal, but I also genuinely hope you fully understand that they are not a standard medicine you simply take and that in order for them to be successful, their application must be well understood and precisely executed.

People on this or any technical help forum can be impatient with newbies because there are thousands of them all asking the same questions and no matter how much the veterans do to help ease the burden of the continuous stream of repeat questions with stickies and FAQs, they just keep coming. I agree that you need to do a lot more research not because I'm lazy or don't want to help, but because I do. Growing mushrooms is absolutely not for those without time and patience, and if you don't have that to truly learn to do it right, then I really worry about the time and patience you have for learning how to administer the medicine to your daughter properly so that she can heal.

Psilocybin is a powerful tool and not something that can be rushed into at any stage with an expectation of good results

So you can’t grow mush?

medical said:

You're right. No one here can or should give that advice. It's something OP needs to research elsewhere. There are professional therapists with PHDs, across the US at least, who provide these kinds of services. Underground, of course. Pollan's book outlines that. Finding them is a study in itself.

If this was just another "how do I do this" post I wouldn't be bringing this up.

Would you like to detail how Leon can appropriately and successfully self treat his daughter's depression using the still illegal and scientifically questioned method of psychoactive therapy?

I’m liking plastic lids with poly.  Easy, simple and effective.

Why are you talking about lids? We are discussing posting rules. Please stay on topic. Thanks
I think I’ll try some of those one piece plastic lids with my next batch.

Forgive my ignorance. But with non mods do u just leave them unscrewed a little bit? And do u notice any drying doing it this way?

No not at all. I turn the jar a quarter turn off of just snug and they do fine. Have had LC colonize in as little as 4 days. Not a problem at all. G2G on average of 7 days depending on how many I expand it too.
