Don?t experiment too much, follow a tek, and you will succeed eventually.

I would follow the PF Tek to the T. When you say you failed...explain? Was it contamination? Explain your previous procedures. I would stay away from the invitro tek and all other radical teks. PF is the way to go.

The invitro tek IS the PF tek for the most delcate part of the cultivation, namely substrate preparation, sterilisation, inoculation and colonisation. It would be interesting to hear at which stage he failed...

Anno. Yeah I know its the same. But the whole fruiting in the jar idea just looks nasty and I believe it promotes rot, and soggy nasty cubies.

Well thats probably one of the problems right there. I would suggest buying a pressure cooker. Oh, and a way to succeed is to follow this tek: http://www.mycotopia.net/discus/messages/5/7618.html?
The advantage is that you don't have all your cookies in one jar, so if one goes bad, you can save the rest. Plus, its rather simple, since no construction of a fruting chamber is neccessary.

Is the contam problem after or before the cakes are at 100% colonization? It's strange that not even one jar survived.
If it is before full colonization (as i suppose it is) it can mean that the prob is in your sterilization tek rather than in your environment being dirty.
Did you try a tek (which is actually for grains) that consists in boiling the jars for one hour a day during 3 days? I think it's called fraction sterilization or something like that...Consider doing it to a couple of jars to test it on BRF/verm.
Maybe you could also try grains? I used rye from the start. First times i had small yields and a lot of jars stalled or contam'ed but now i'm having good crops and almost zero contamination by using polyfill in qt. jars and casing the grain. But then again, i use a pressure cooker...
Another advice: Do a LOT of jars. That way you can experiment invitro, birthed cakes and casings. Besides that your chances of getting at least some jars colonized are bigger.
Good luck and don't give up!

yes, most sellers accept money orders and paypal bank transfers (e-check)
so, check it out... you can pay by check, cash, money order, credit card or bank transfers (some people are even up to trades but hard to find someone who will trade).
