Plus the cake seemed kinda damp and compact, I had to press it in cause it had large holes in the middle. You think It will Work out or Not????

The "pressing down. . " THAT'S a problem. That lack of fluffiness will make colonization take perhaps weeks longer.

Do the substrate over again. Got a kitchenaid? if so, USE IT!!

If not, mix the dry ingredients thoroughly, THEN add the H2O. And use a whisk.

Re-sterilize, and you're good to go. The extra hour you spend now, will mean fruits in probably half the time.

I'll get some substrate material tommorrow, I have one syringe left but i guess it will have to do.

thanx again

ok i made a mixture for 12 jars but i used it all up in only 11, i left .5in on top for the dry verm. ????? so is it over packed or will it be fine??

thanx

I use a wooden spoon in a large bowl. I mix flour and verm then add water a little at a time, and stir the shit out of it. It should be like moist ground beef lol (raw).

If you use "my" way of mixing, you won?t have to.
