HELP ME! Jar question

So my first attempt at PF-TEK was a failure. However, I remain optomistic 
My question is - After I had sterlized the jars, it appeared that the substance was going to be tough as nails to remove from the jar once colonized.
Am I wrong? Or is there a way to get by this? Did I do something wrong the start?
I didn't pack it in tight or nothing like that at all.

it looked like it was cemented in there. Maybe your right though.
I was hoping for a little tip/trick from someone.

A hard tap on a table top should get even the denses of substrate out of a jar.

it doesnt sound like you did the pf tek or you do not have commen sense. Which is it. pf tek call for 1/2pint wide mouth jars. If it doesnt look like the substrate will fall out of the jar then either you are stupid or you are not following the pf tek and not using the right jars.
When we say follow the pf tek we mean follw the pf tek. We do not mean follow everything in the pf tek except use differnt jars. We mean to wait untilo you find the right jars before you start and fuck up like you did
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

You can fruit them right out of the top of the jar if you don't birth. The cake can be cut up and remvoved after the flushes. However, the substrate should not be solid after sterilizing. If so, something is wrong. It won't be solid until after full colonization. RR

Well, start with wide mouth jars for one, they are not difficult to birth if you wait long enough for the cake to colonize.

So your cakes look cemented into the jars? Sounds like you used too much water.
