Are these lids ok?
    #26488511 - 02/16/20 02:24 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

I drilled a 1/2 hole in the middle of the lid and glued a cellulous filter disk to top. I've only done 1 run with rye grains and they colonized slow/top wouldnt colonize. They were definitely on the dry side. Are these lids ok to use? Is the hole too big allowing the grains to dry out or too much GE? Thanks

The size of the hole is ok.when my grains dry out ok the top, I just give the jar a shake.
The grains will then colonize when the mycelium recovers.

1/4" - 3/8" is recommended size.  1/2" is not much bigger so should not have much difference.

Bumping because every time I use jars my grains seem to dry out and colonize slow.

Should I make new jars with smaller holes? Would It be okay to double layer micropore tape over the hole under the lid or maybe over the cellulose? Would that be ok for PC
Thanks

The hole size is fine. What is cellulous filter disk? Most of us use synthetic filter disks.

I agree with BW. The filter sounds suspect. I personally use plastic lids with low loft polyfill for spawn and love them, don't even clean them or change the poly unless I get a bad jar which isn't often. Lasts forever.

Yes. Double, triple, quadruple tape if needed. That's fine
