Picture is too blurry to tell for sure. I'd give it a month and see if it grows mold. What size jars are those? I used half pints for BRF cakes the one time I did it.

If you have a pressure cooker I suggest you get some  MEA powder or make your own agar, save the syringe for that. But it's up to you.

Those cakes are gonna be a bitch to get out of those jars since they've got that neck on em. Also the first picture looks somewhat green but with the quality of the pics it's hard to determine exactly what's up. I'd let them keep going but I'd start planning a new grow and make sure you get the proper supplies for what you're trying to do. And as mushroomguy said making agar in your pc would be a great way to go. You can search for no pour agar teks and you'll be set.

I made the mistake of using those jars* the first time around for pf. Ended up just breaking the neck off. :rolleyes:

Welcome to Shroomery! :mushroom2:

- Remove aluminium foil after inoculation
- Use recommended 8oz wide mouth jars
- Spore syringes are considered dirty
- Height of dry vermiculite filter is important. You need to fill the jars up to the threaded line, leaving a 13mm-17mm for the dry vermiculite filter. The lid should lightly press on dry filter to prevent shifting.
- Reduce handling of jars because dry vermiculite filter is shifting thus allowing contaminants to drop into substrate

For latest PF-TEK read Updated PF Tek Guide.

I put 4 small holes in the on all 3 of the lids.  Looks like I’ll be taking a lesson mycology. I’ll take some other pictures and do a lot more studying. Thank you.

- 1 pint jars are too big/tall; colonization is going to slow down to a stop.
- never shake a PF jar

Absolutely will. Next time I’ll use the small 1/2 pint open mouthed jars. I just was using what I had available, I’ll get some better pictures and keep you updated I appreciate all the advise. Didn’t know what I got myself into. Agar is my next goal it seems. I wonder why the other two haven’t started. To be honest I did PC them twice. I didn’t know if it was safe to leave them over night.

No need to break the jars, if/when they fully colonized just scoop out with a spoon and add some coir, bada boom you got shroom!
