Did you get them from the european amazon or the US one?
I'm debating whether to go with weck jars which have plastic lids (or glass but good luck drilling those) or splurging on ball mason jars, but have trouble finding em in Europe.

---

Used the US amazon, I'm in Europe though, took 3 weeks to arrive. I did order Ball wide mouth jars(found a store with free shipping if you spend $49) at the same time, but I was lucky and found out that a local store had jars that my wide mouth plastic lids fits perfect so might not need to order more jars from US.

If you get the same lids as me you can get free shipping on those too as long as you buy over $49. Here's a link.

I can only speak for myself, but I think plastic lids is the shit, I do not want rust in my Presto PC, I got lucky when I bought the PC, but still, importing it is expensive as fuck and so I do everything I can to make it last as long as possible.

That’s what I think it is right?

Also the last pic of the bag, there was some moisture at the bottom of the bag after I PC’ed it but didn’t think anything of it and now it’s all mushy there. I imagine that’s going to be a contamination oasis.

What is their diameter? I've been trying to find a good 82 mm lid for my jars in the EU with no luck. Maybe I should order these and some Ball jars.

Also why do you prefer these filters instead of synthetic hydrophobic filter discs?

---

It seems the jars I can get locally is 82,9mm.


The inside(outside the threads) of my lids is the same.


While the Ball wide mouth jar seems to be 81,7mm.


The lids fit both jars fine and are leak proof on both. I can't get plastic lids in my country so I had to order them, but I bought 45(5 packs with 9 lids) so I should be set for life.

Well, it ain't the most even pinset in the world, but dammit if I ain't growing some ! Maybe this means I've graduated from PFC Noob to Corporal Noob?

Thanks for everyone's feedback and assistance as I got rolling

So you can see the difference, green circles are definitely questionable and not mycelium. The blue circles are healthy mycelium. Unfortunately the contamination will ruin the jar.
