Will these jars be suitable for grain?
    #26465535 - 02/02/20 03:52 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

I'm struggling to find good jars for grain, and after researching this site I realised there's more to it than I originally thought. Didn't cross my mind that the mycelium might need some air while colonising.

I already have some ~300ml jars with small holes in the lid that I use for PF Tek, but I wanted some bigger ones for grain. Is there any way to modify these for grain or shall I just save them for PF tek?

These https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-drinking-jar-12-pack/p/0429984 have a hole in the lid already so that would be handy... would bodhi's lid tek work here? As in, just stuff with some polyfil? Looks like they should PC ok.  :confused:

tl;dr - Will these jars be ok for grain spawn, and if so how do I modify the lids?

You got it. Don't over think lids. 1/4 inch hole and some polyfill stuffed in, a 1/4 inch hole and three bits of micropore tape...
Heck i've seen people use lids with no modification just not done up too tight.


Those jars are fine, don't sweat it.

Nice one thanks, will purchase. I feel like I'm fretting over little things now because neither my PF Tek or agar plates are showing anything yet (i used an old spore print) :sad:

I doubt the plastic in the hole of the lid is pp5, so itd likely melt. But just buy some normal quart jars bud, if you got the wide mouth half pints for pf just get wide mouth quart jars and the lids will fit then follow whichever lid tek you feel like

And you shouldnt have to do poly and micropore. One or the other
