I already have foil, I reuse them til they fall apart So what you are saying is that the thick SDF's doesn't hold more moisture either way, and that the foil won't help avoid contamination during cool down?

Another question, with the thin sticker SDF's some of my lids warped because I tightened them before the jars cooled, will these thick SDF's pull enough air to avoid that and I could tighten the jars as soon as pressure is down?

skip the acids and shit do it caveman style. and im sorry lemon tek is fucking gross.

over 2 DECADES of shrooming ive found basic water tea reductions to be far more effective.

just my opinion tho

Ready for spawn? Or do I have to wait till mycelium is touching the plastic?

x7x+ T1 June 6. The white dots are just from the bubbles in the agar.


Same, but I'm pretty sure the wedge Jumped around twice.
One at 1 o'clock and another at 7 o'clock


I need to use x2 agar cups per step instead of x4, because I just started and I'm already down to my last 20/100 cups.

Duuuude, now that is a beautiful cup on the top there, and I don't know how many jars you're planning on inoculating, but that cup will go a long way, no need to wait for it to reach the walls of the cup, I prefer to use a plate before it does because I'm paranoid

For the second cup, it might be fine, but if it's the same variety and you're not doing 20 jars, use the first, just to be safe Keep up the good work.

If they were the white plastic lids sold under the Mainstay name. They warp and crack the more cycles you put them through. I switched to the Ball brand plastic and haven't had a problem since. No matter if its the stickers or my rtv'd sdf patches.

Thanks for your input brother, I don't have the white ones and it's not ball, but I believe it's pretty much the same, they feel like quality lids.



Do you tighten the lids right after pressure is down?

tryptkaloids said:

Thats not necessary, you can wait till they cool completely. Im betting you're pulling a vaccume as they cool and thats whats making them warp

Yes, that is absolutely what I did, but I was hoping that the thick SFD's allowed enough GE. But got it boss, let em cool first, thanks again

I use the standard "thick" SFDs exclusively. They work great.
