added paper tape over poly fil

having an issue with colonization on top of my jars i decided to try out a tip given to me on the forum and the difference is amazing.
This is a previous jar. this is the reaction i would get no matter how i did this process, Agar, syringe anything.. didn't matter it would always look like this.

This is the same process (in this case agar) and simply adding papertape over top of my already tightly stuffed polyfil.

at my alt. the air is the killer of everything in this process. so dry, moisture doesn't last at ALL... just always fighting it.
just though to share.
Stay safe, stay inspired. 10k

Interesting, do you have a picture of the poly fill and papertape? It’s that simple?

That first jar looks like it has contams in it, looks green in places.
If you're in a dry area, definitely keep your jars in a closed environment where they won't vent out their moisture. I only ever use micropore tape on my jars and they do fine in a close bin even in low RH high heat conditions.

  Keep 'em high and tight guys....

I have issues with my grains not finishing or taking forever to colonize. Just a few grains on top. Idk if it's ok to spawn or g2g.
I will try tape on the poly and my other filter jars.

so funny. i knew posting this would get a bunch of "those jars look bad" "you should BLAH BLAH BLAH"
I just had 3 full size mono tubs come though with those jars. This post wasn't a "hey look at my jars and tell me if they're ok" post.. i was simply spreading some knowledge upon discovery.

i don't have a photo at this moment but i'll try to take one later on. it is that simple though. i had stuffed poly fill just like normal, then with these i added 2 strips of paper tape overtop of it. just made sure i did it with gloves on as to not wipe my hands all over the tape.

Hobbit the few bare grains on top are fine.
I get that too sometimes and alternated between spawning them or dumping them out and only using the colonized ones.
I never had problems and I think it was filthyknees did an experiment where he took bare grains from like 10 jars and spawned a tub with only them, and it went off like normal.
So I guess they’re still covered in myc just too dry to flourish or whatever.
What is paper tape? Never heard of it.
Makes me think of masking tape.

Pretty much micropore tape is paper tape. Well they have paper micropore and the clear micropore tape
