WBS gas exchange

#6110332 - 09/28/06 07:09 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I'm worried my WBS isn't getting enough gas exchange as the only way air is getting into the jar is via 1 tiny hole made by the needle piercing the tyvek.

My jar lids have 1 hole in the center. I filled this hole with polyfill. Before putting the lids on my jars I put tyvek over the mouth of the jar.

I don't want the jars to end up stalling and I want them to colonize as fast as possible.

Is tyvek breathable?
Should I loosen my jar lids?

Who can give me some peace of mind?

Tyvek is breathable, but you don't need tyvek over polyfill.
