Cheap PF jars
    #3499313 - 12/14/04 06:35 PM (19 years, 2 months ago)

I ran out of jars and have no fund money right now. I came up with an idea, i had got a bunch of jars in the fridge that had things like relish and pickles in them, well i dumped all that b/s out and filled em with PF substarte. The jars are being sterilyzed right now, i know that canning jars cam withstand the heat/pressure better than most jars. So far they haven't made any shattering noises or anything so i'm guesing that they're ok, i jus wanted to let anyone who was going to case and dint have any jars know that you can always improvise, gl all and be stay, later.

i just birthed a spice jar cake, actually i guess it was more of a C section. the jar had shoulders and i knew this when i knocked it up, i just wanted to test colonization times. and sure enough it was done in just over a week.

Well,the smaller the amount of substrate,the less time required to colonize, how big was that spice jar that you're talking about? And what was the sub.? Brf or other?

Scoop out the substrate with a sterile spoon...and case it.

Or break the jar open.
Rap the jar in a towel and hit it with a hammer...gently.

I'm looking for a "not glass" transparent half pint jar with "non metal" lids, tapered of course, that can easely be purchased online for not too much money.

Hope is not too much, I'mhoping to get some link.

thanks
