alright guys im making some PF Tek jars 1/2 pint and 1 pint...
i want to do it right the first time so this is what im gunna do...
tell me if i shud do anything different!
1. Prepare the lids -4 small holes -RTV high heat silicone sealant placed on the holes for self healing injector points
2. The Formula: -1 part BRF -1 part water -2 parts vermiculite -a pinch of bee pollen per jar -a bit of worm castings
3. Casing -1 part vermiculite -1 part peat moss
4. Sterilizing -loosely twist on jar lids -place tin foil over the top -place in my pressure cooker -pressure cook @ 15 psi for 70 minutes starting when PC gets to 15 psi
5. Last Stage -let pressure cooker cool -remove jars while still warm and shake -let jars cool down overnight -shake syringe/sterilize it/inject/repeat
so hows it sound guys? this is what my research of this site has brought me to... correct any errors please!
and of course thanks for the help!

no rtv please. it wont allow anything to breathe.
what i do when growing edibles is place micropore tape before sterilization. then inoculate then add another layer of micropore tape over that. let it colonize like 30-50% then rip all tape off.
idk but it works great. some people use various methods.

There's also a great book called "Psilocybin Mushroom Handbook" Easy indoor and outdoor cultivation. You can get it on Amazon for 20 bucks and reference it with photos. It's a good study aid. At least it was for me. Check it out worth 20 easy.

If you're making jars PF Tek style you will not be able to shake the jar if you use a dry verm layer as a barrier against contams. Also, if you are using a dry verm layer omit the RTV ports, as you will need a venue for gas exchange. I make my lids with an 1 RTV port, and 1 hole stuffed with polyfill for gas exchange. If not using a dry verm barrier, I personally would acquire polyfill or micropore tape for gas exchange alongside an RTV port as per the teks. Also, tighten lids after pressure cooker cools down. Everything else seems okay as far as I can tell.

I agree with the others.
DO NOT shake pf jars. That's for rye, birdseed those type of jars. Just keep the jars in the pc overnight.
Do not seal your holes, no gas exchange if you do. You do plan on using a verm barrier right?
Read up on casings. I've never used peat moss but I think you will need to add some lime for the PH. But you have plenty of time to learn that. A few weeks anyway.

>alright guys im making some PF Tek jars 1/2 pint and 1 pint... ONly use 1/2 pints!!
>1. Prepare the lids -4 small holes -RTV high heat silicone sealant placed on the holes for self healing injector points
Already trying to fail! Stick to the mmgg!!! Do not try anything else!!
>2. The Formula: -1 part BRF -1 part water -2 parts vermiculite -a pinch of bee pollen per jar -a bit of worm castings
Here you go again trying to fuck it up!! No pollen, no casting!!!
>3. Casing -1 part vermiculite -1 part peat moss Casing is not part of the pf tek!!! Do not try to fuck it up!
>4. Sterilizing -loosely twist on jar lids -place tin foil over the top -place in my pressure cooker -pressure cook @ 15 psi for 70 minutes starting when PC gets to 15 psi Again, you are trying to fail!!! 70 mins at 15psi for cakes!!! No more than 25 mins!!! Seriously!! You do not want to fuck this up do you?
>5. Last Stage -let pressure cooker cool -remove jars while still warm and shake -let jars cool down overnight -shake syringe/sterilize it/inject/repeat
No need to sterilze the needle between each jar if you follow directions. I would sterilize after every third jar.
What about a 1/2 clean vermiculite layer on top of each jar?? If you truely want success then follow this. Please do not try to do other shit and come here cryiong because shit isnt working. http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_mmgg.shtml
-------------------- 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.
