Did I just fuck up?
    #7815666 - 12/31/07 12:40 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I just got done innoculating 25 1/2 pint jars using 40cc's. In your expert opinions, was that too little or what? I have a feeling it was. Now that Im done they are sitting in an incubator in the dark at 80 degrees fahrenheit.

Did you use multiple inoculation points? Did you flame the needle after each jar? Did you use dry verm layer as filter and left the holes exposed for gas exchange? You could have even used half a cc in each jar successfully so you actually used a little too much than you needed to.

Yes a dry layer on top but think it got a little most after pressure cooking it. I used four holes. I'll post a grow log soon. Any help would be appreciated.

The dry verm layer getting moist is bad, if it did, i would use some kind of filter over the lid that still allows gas exchange but minimizes contam exposure. Did you put too much water in the PC? Anyway, after inoculation, I always left the foil on with the holes exposed and haven't had problems but then again, my dry verm layer wasn't compromised...

a typical 1/2 pint pf jar only needs 1 cc total, thats 1/4th cc per hole. You should have only used 25 cc's.
What would ever make you think that you didnt use enough? You probably used too much and fucked up the water ratio and will now get poor yeilds

I shot a huge load into one jar, about 5 cc's on accident. The substrate was already a little too damp, it clumped inside the jar and soon became contaim.

Just be patient and check for signs of contaim.

I'm on my first grow right now myself. I was wondering that myself. I thought the guide said to put the foil back on, but then I wondered about gas exchange. Plus, I'm storing my jars in a Tupperware box. Though I didn't snap on the lid.

I'm on YT

My 10+ year old Lophophoras that I grew from seed make the occasional appearance with lots of other cacti, succulents and houseplants.

I stayed curious about my dry layer so I opened a jar and poked it. Yes it is dry. About the moisture, I think it looks fine. Theres only heavy moisture in about 5 of them.

You might be a bit arrogant sometimes Tahoe, but your post was the first after 6 other answers that answered the question properly :thumbup: I like your style.

As mr Tahoe said, an 1/2 pint pf jar only needs 1cc solution, so that would be 25ccs. You will have used nearly two ccs per jar, which shouldn't mess too much with the water content of your jars unless you made them a bit on the wet side already. If you did, you might have some problems.

i was just joking about the water content. Just trying to make him worry more.

You could probably 5-10 cc's per jar without any ill effect

sigh,

there are alot of stupid replys in this thread, most which are not helping at all.

You have used a little bit too much solution, its working out at under 2cc per jar so its not that much.

I wouldnt worry too much about it, if something goes wrong, learn from ur mistakes and do it better next time round. We have all messed up at some point.



Coffee filters will do nothing other than stop large particles getting onto your jars which probably arnt going to make it in the inoc holes anyway. What you are worried about is microscopic, fortunatly with the pf tek, u have a dry verm layer that serves to catch any unwanted organisms, since it has noo food or water. Nothing can grow.

Its quite possible to even open up a pf jar and it wont contam (but please dont try this) Leaving the tinfoil off is finee and promotes better gas exhange, use micropore tape over the inoc holes to make u feel safer, this will still allow the jar to breath.
