Hello fellow shroomers, ive just attempted my first cake making process and think i may have bodged it up.
I made my mixture of virmiculite, BRF and water placed them into jars as i was told to. Then went to sterilize them, i did this by boiling them in a pot, however after doing this i noticed that the mixture hd goine all slushy at the bottom? I still injected the spores (may have been a silly idea) and i think i might have injected abit too much into a couple of the jars, wll this make a difference? thanks in advance?? X

take the foil off the jars and leave holes open this will help the jars dry out on their own

I really, really wouldnt take the top of the jar lid off and let them dry... you are begging for contamination if you do that...
Post a picture man, usually a little too much water isnt a bad thing, just makes the colonization a little slower, that's all. but DONT open your jars up after you sterilized them/noc'd em.

im experimenting with heavy water substrates at the moment. They are colonizing just fine with no contams. Just slower.
Here is the same jar in the picture...

I have 10 other jars with the same amount of water in them. They are all doing fine and this picture is at about 10/11ish days after inoc.
