yea, you need jars that will allow the substrate to slide out. it looks like the mouth is smaller than the jar so you would have to crumble the cake out of it. just use a drinking glass and some tin foil.

those do look odd...
not sure if the picture is distorted or if they actually have that shape.
I've never seen that shape in the stores...yet.
they should look like this...

id keep those jars though, they make good utility jars.
uses include: liquid culture agar without petri dishes(pour thin) printing jars(print cap, remove cap, seal jar, inject water when needing syringe) storing your kindbud (my personal favorite) and im sure some ppl have some other clever uses too.
but yes, they're the wrong ones for substrates. as stated two posts above, you need one that allows substrate to slide out unobstructed.

Heh, finally... this is a PERFECT opportunity for you to use this tek (the bottom most picture.) Do it, you CAN use those jars... Just not in the traditional "birthing" method, but the in vitro method.

go to your freaking kitchen and get a regular glass. if you dont have any find a dollar store and buy a glass.
a dollar can be found in the ash tray or center console of your parents car, the couch, and often on the drier. sometimes you have to combine all 3 locations but you *should* be able to find a dollar

Why don't you just go to a local store and pick up the correct jars?

Those jars look good for LC... how about while you're waiting to get paid you make up some Karo LC... that's pretty cheap, it'll keep you busy/feeling like you're doing something and if you do it right, it'll extend your syringe as well as quicken colonization when you do make your substrate jars.
LC is a win win.

Yes, you can start an LC with spores, and you only need like .5cc from your syringe. You want to nuke the honey/water in the jar, but be careful not to nuke the metal rings.
.Put the honey/water in the jar. .Cover the jar with plastic wrap. .Poke a small hole in the plastic wrap for steam release. .Put the jar in the microwave on a nukable plate with water in it. ..You want the water to cover like a 1/4in of the bottom of the jar. .Nuke for 3 minutes. .Drill a small hole in the metal jar lid disc and cover it with some sort of tape. .Open the microwave, put the lid and ring on the jar in the microwave. .LET IT COOL COMPLETELY (Fridge, 1-2hours) .Inject spores in through the tape.
Of course, be as sterile as you can. IE, clean stuff with rubbing alch etc etc.
