Question about tenn studd and pre sterilized pf jars

I ordered some pre steralized jars from one of the shroomery vendors (i forget which one) and they are all colonized accept for like half an inch near the top. Is that normal? Or should I wait for the whole thing to be colonized? Or do some people put a layer of just verm on top to keep out contams?
I also have like 10lbs of tenn studd left over from last time in my closet. I was wondering if it was still good? I recived them last november. They've been in a cool dark closet the whole time.

You can either wait for all of it to colonize or you can birth the cake/spawn and excise (with a clean, sharp knife/razor/xacto/whatever) the uncolonized area. It's definitely better to let it colonize but there are options.
Have you tried turning the jar upside down? Is this WBS, BFR or something else? I'm guessing BFR.
I'm not sure what to tell you if the only uncolonzied part is the verm. Consider this a friendly bump for someone more knowledgeable to chip in.

Should be fine.

Top half inch is probably vermiculite. You can't tell by looking at it?
I'd say it's probably fine, but maybe post a pic of the jars to be sure? And I have no idea on the poo, haven't tried that myself yet.

Well just as an experiment i opened one of my jars. It seems the top layer was just vermiculite. I crumbled up the cake and mixed it in with about 2 cups of tenn studd in a small rubermade container. I basicly just wanted to see if it would grow and if not, i still have 2 colonized jars and an un opened bag of tenn stud left. My question is, will the tenn studd bag i opened go bad? If so i mean i have more, but i was too curious to wait till the other jars were done. I just wanted to see if i could get it spawn on very small scale, and maybe have a couple shrooms while i was waiting.
