how many of you lightly pack down your jars and how many of you dont? i did pack about half of my jars and the other half i didnt, but they both seem to be colonizing at the same rate. just kinda wondering if it really mattered if you packed them down or didnt.

In my limited experience i've determined that if you leave it loose and airy, it will colonize a lot faster. You may not notice it now, but you will possibly see the jars taking a long time to completely colonize....even so, be patient...they will !

Good luck

DO NOT pack them down.

Correct. Don't pack them. The looser the mix, the better they'll colonize.
