Doing a LC with a quart jar with 1 hole plugged with silicone.
Is it ok to pressure cook and tighten the lid all the way before/during PCing?

not really my friend. is you dont have some sort of tubing to house the polyfil in, i wouldnt use it. the tubing allows you to not have the polyfil in there, and not get wet. just dont pull it all the way through. while your in there, might as well make one for inoculation, and fill w/ RTV

Cant a hole just be drilled and then put micropore tape over it?
Then the other hole has silicone in it
And just make sure never to tip it on the side with the micropore tape?
Really don't feel like going to the store, aaaagain

you're completely wrong
yes u can fully tighten a lid down. I recommend it.
if you haven't done it, or experienced it, then you shouldn't post information about it.

What if we don't wanna go buy tubing and polyfil
but rather just use silicone for 1 hole and micropore tape for another hole? and make sure not to tilt onto the micropore?

you completely failed to read my post. originally, i said you can. thats how i do my baby bottle LC's. no air exchange. but i said its BETTER to do it with air exchange.
GO FOR IT MAN.
i've done it. made a LC in a baby bottle...no gas exchange. then once it established, i made another LC off that LC using the lids i posted, much whispier and thicker mycelium.

They are canning jars. Thats what they are made for. They are sealed when canning vegetables.

my jars get air exchange, u ubviously didn't read

that LC lasted over a year.
i can't use baby bottles, not enough inoculate for 100+ lbs of grain at a time.
besides, the baby bottle tek is outdated archaic and not very useful unless you're just doing a few pftek cakes.
anyhow
this isn't about who's dick is bigger..
everything's been answered here, and yes, canning jars are designed to withstand a vacuum. That's what they are for.
