(using pf-tek)I know i messed up bad cause i inoculated 24 jars but the substrate wasnt mixed properly. It was 1/4cup BRF, 1/4cup water, and 1/3cup verm. Im sorry, i was high.. Its been 8 days now and i lost 1 jar to bacterial contams, 4 are germinating normally, and the other 19 aren't doing anything. Can anyone tell me if my substrate mixture is so bad that it wont grow? if so, why have 4 started and not the rest? I think the substrate is too moist, if i incubate them at a high enough temp will it evaporate some of this excess moisture and speed up my growth? or are my jars doomed?

If you know u messed up why r you posting about it.
Next time dont get high and follow your tek exactly.
The jars that havnt germinated yet, might germinate still.
I have never used that recipe for pf cakes.
1/2 cup Verm, 1/4 water, mix it real good, make sure your measurements are spot on, if you scoop the wet verm with a spoon to reveal the bottom of your bowl only a tiny amount of water should pool.
Then add your BRF and mix it well to even coat all the wet verm.
Getting the moisture content is essential, to dry the spores wont germinated, too wet and they can slow down, stall or suffer from a bacterial contam (wet spot usualyy)
~Also load the substrate very loosely not bpacing it down. When looking at your jars, they should look kinda dry, a nice light colour, it its dark they are too wet, they might fully colinise (my first batch did but took forever and 1 or 2 stalled) if they do stall , its not lost birth and cut the uncolinised parts off.

or just use the verm and pour water on it until it's soaked through and it doesn't pool, so it' exactly moist. then add brf and some more water if it looks on the dry side.

Thank you all for the advice, I'll wait a bit and see if anything happens... If not, better luck next time, eh?
