Thats about right for one week. I think mine were a hair ahead of that, but nothing majorly different.

For against the glass inoculation, I’d say that’s spot on 👍

Looks right. I thought it was going to be the entire half of the jar.

That is my best jar. 

This PE seems really slow at germination.

They all like to go at their own pace. My slowest jar took about 5 weeks to colonize.

I did 5:2.5:2.5 cups verm:BRF:H2O and got 17 1/2 pt jars.

It seems you did 6:3:3 and got 12.

I am completely perplexed by the difference???

Are you using the same measuring devices ie. all dry vs. all liquid or are you mixing liquid measuring devices with dry ingredients measuring devices?

Every time you make PF substrate you’re going to get a different amount. I don’t know why, but that’s just what happens lol.

Everytime I do PFTEK I get nearly the same amount give or take a half inch on the last jar 🤷♂️

Hmm interesting. Guess you’re doing something right lol. I get different volumes all the time. Other people report similar. I assumed it was me using various verm sizes, but I’m not sure.

Either way, it works great.

Yeah, I also get the same - within a jar or a portion of a jar.  I was just amazed at the OP as it is so far different than what I've gotten (and got just today! :smile:)

I used the same measuring device for dry then wet.  I have no clue how we would get different volumes in the end. 

Perhaps it is level we load the jars to?  I loaded them to just to the glass ring.  Gave it a couple taps on the table.  Perhaps I compressed mine more?

Quick mini update.  I checked my jars today, and all of them have mycelium.  So the 2 "slow" jars did germinate.

Full picture update.  These are the "best" spots on all 12 as of Sep 27th.  Which is 13 days from inoculation of the jars.

That is what I was thinking as well.  They all (to my untrained eye) look very clean and like some happy mycelium. 

I am going to be busy in a few weeks.
