no don't shake brf jars, you will just end up packing the substrate tight and then get very little if any colonization.

Dude, he would have to pound them against the side of his leg to do that..

But in any case, the jars are inoculated, and unless he used .0000000000034 CCs of spore solution, it ran down into the cake. Vermiculite is rock, does water usually pass through a bunch of rocks?

how thick of dry verm layer do you have? could you see any spots where the liquid ran down the cake

---

You were implying that if the verm layer was too thick that the inoculation could have possibly been absorbed within a non-nutritious verm layer, and therefore not made it into the cake.

I'm simply giving him the hope and opportunity to have the faith that you were telling him about, because I know that because of gravity, the absorbency of vermiculite would not be enough to halt the flow of spores down into the cake, unless he used a totally minuscule amount of spore solution.

So therefore, he has nothing to worry about.

I was adding knowledge to the boards, excuse me.

this is the wisdom that you are adding to the boards. not looking to get into a flame fest here about this neither. but sorry you were not adding anything worthy of reading imo.

you don't think that an overly thick dry verm layer will soak in a 1/2 cc of water?

---

No, because it comes out of the syringe forcefully because of the restrictiveness of the needle, and this  inertia would likely carry it past about 10 inches of verm before absorption would have the time to absorb it all.

If you really wanna get all into this, we can always do a little experiment...

Is that you Jimmy?

I thought I told you to stay away from these magic mushroom websites!!!

the vermiculite could absorb all of the spore soloution that was injected, depends
on how much was used, more over the wet vermiculite can act as a wick and draw in
contams, there is a reason that it's a 'dry' vermiculite layer

the fact of the matter is that we are totally screwing this guys thread up and i won't take this any further.

Actually, he already got the answer he needed, so it's all good IMO. 

Plus, I'm still willing to wager the 10 pack of bubble gum...
