hey wutup everybody. i jus ordered mah spores from "lil shop of spores." GREAT service i received them very quickly. i'm using pf tek method. after i innoculate, should i keep the lid tight and should i keep the holes taped? also, if i should ever loosen it (before i have to take the cake out ofcourse), then when should that be? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot people.

Yes! Keep the lid tightly screwed and the have the holes taped.
If you ever wish to loosen the lid do it about 1 week after the mycelium begins to form. I never losen the lids though, just my thing.

If you leave the lid tightly screwed C02 will build up... it will only slow down the mycelium growth. I don't notice much of a diference so I just leave the jar closed and shake it once in a while. What do I think? If you want to speed up things a little bit.. go ahead and open the jar a little in a nice and sterile location.
The cake is ready when it is fully colonized. It will be fairly obvious because everything will be covered with mycelium duh =) You should start seeing mycelium growth within 3-7+ days. The cakes should be ready within 1-2 weeks if all goes well.
Hope everything goes well... but why just one jar? Make 50 of them! lol

spiralmix....hahaha..thanks for the help. hahahaa and yes i'm goin to innoculate another jar today, cuz the one jar i ahve now seems lil lonely hiding in the dark. and also to the last poster, why would i inject the whole syringe? all i need is 1-2 cc's, any more might speed up germination, but then i have less to make more jars. peace.

You only need .5 - 1cc per jar (but I guess that's all personal preference). I use a 12cc syringe per 10 jars. You know to birth the jar when it's totally covered in mycelium (100% colonization). Some people wait for pinning to begin while in the jar because it's supposed to help get a large first flush. Sometimes, however, it wont start pinning while in the jar so I always birth as soon as I reach 100%, or within a week afterward. Then I just keap them flushing until the cakes loose all their nutrients.

Of course you shouldn't squeeze a whole syringe in one jar.. I just wondered because you only made one jar.. heh.
Hmm.. 2 days... around the 3rd day you should start seeing fuzzy see-through cloudlike mycelium... looks like condensation but you can tell it's not because it is only located in the locations where you squeezed the spores into.
Goodluck!
