Question about inoculation

I have some questions as a noob.
I just inoculated my jars, but would it be bad if I used more than 1cc of the syringe to fill one wide mouth jar?
and should I keep the jars covered with foil or uncovered? I don't have microphone tape rn.
also would it be bad to keep them in the still air box for colonization?
much thanks, peace and love 💘

Youll be fine. I wouldn't sweat it. Unless it was like 10-15-20cc+ then it could increase potential to cause a problem.
What concerns me is the lack of MP tape. So your inoc/injection hole in the lid is exposed/unfiltered?

Less spores is better than more. Take the foil off. And there’s really no reason to colonize in SAB unless u just want too.

Because without a filter the dirty air can bring unwanted microscopic assassins into your jar.

I assume hes drilled a hole into a lid and inoculated through it like that straight up, no micropore tape to cover the hole afterwards.
If you're implying that isnt required then thats news to me.. however i don't use pftek or brf but i understand sterile technique and practice.

Yeah it’s fucked if he drilled a hole with no filter but he didn’t specify what his setup was or if it was PF Tek or grain jars.

He confirmed what he was using when i asked [in post 2 & 3] so i just inferred he probably did drill a hole when he mentioned not having any mp tape.

Missed that somehow lol if it’s brf jars there’s no need for mp tape because u use vermiculite at the top of the jars as a filter. Is think mp tape would probably slow down colonization a little bit since there’s already a verm Filter.
