JAR question

Alright, So i have holes drilled in the lids of my jars covered with 3m Micro-pore tape. I noticed the airflow is crap through that tape. All my previous grows I've loosen the lids on the jars so they were just barely on, to promote more air exchange, then re-covered them with the aluminum foil until myc formed. I never really kept a good log on how i did things so I'm not exactly sure when i should loosen the lids up. Its only been 1 day since inoculation and i don't want to this soon for fear of contams but I'm thinking maybe in 4 days?

you don't need that much gas exchange anyway. having micropore tape over the holes is fine. having tinfoil on the lids will restrict the gas exchange.
the verm barrier is your filter so u could probably get away without the tape over the holes and no tinfoil.
the tinfoil is only nessary when presure cooking to help prevent moisture from getting in the inoc holes..

I dont use a verm barrier in my jars, I just follow the popcorn tek found on the main site.

Ah, then your should be using tyvek then. Theres a few difference methods.
I think you can omit the lid with the rubber ring and put a blob of silicon on the tyvek and use that as a self healing injector port, the tyvek will provide pretty good gas exchange.
Have a look at some of the teks for grains, they should have pics and descriptions of using tyvek.

Use both parts of the lid.
The part with the rubber needs to have two holes. One larger than the other. Tyvek on top of lid. Between the flat part of the lid and the ring. One hole is for breathing, one for injection. inoculate thru the smaller hole. After innoc place a small piece of micropore tape over that hole.
During colonization you are not looking for fresh air exchange. You are looking for gas exchange.

I stand corrected, that makes more sense 
I have heard of using just tyvek only, maybe im thinking about something else.

Tyvek or synthetic filter disks without a lid will cause the grains to dry out before full colonization. RR

I have had best luck with minimal gas exchange thru micro pore tape. I have a 1/8th inch hole covered with micro pore tape that i inocc thru, and it works great. no verm layer, no foil... gas exchange can be very minimal.
