Day 6 - BRF PF-Tek - First Grow
    #9099276 - 10/19/08 09:59 AM (15 years, 5 months ago)

So I knocked up 12 BRF jars last Monday. I followed the tek in RRs videos with the exception that I used a PC instead of steaming them.
I knocked them up in a glove box, sterilized the needle with flame between jars to red hot, removed the tape from the inoc holes and they have been sitting in my grow area at roughly 80 degrees.

I think they look like they are moving along nicely, but just want an expert to confirm. First time jitters and all that.

You dont need a expert to tell you they look good. I always used the pint jars for BRF back in the day. Try more jars but smaller ones like 1/2 pinters n 1/4 pinters. They colonize quicker. Just do more jars if your not satisfied. sometimes those pints take 25 days sometimes they take 45 days. Just depends on the moisture content. 1/2 pinters take 20 days..

Actually, those are 1/2 pint jars, they're just not the "wide mouth" 1/2 pints. I couldn't find the wide mouths at first, but I have some now.

Thanks for the feedback.

The tek calls for 1/2 pint widemouth jars.  It's important that the jars are not taller than they are wide for proper gas exchange, which helps with colonization speed.  Now that you have the correct jars, it should go even better next time.  Good luck.

I hadn't heard that before. I am on my first grow as well and having trouble getting some jars to colonize. Is it because my jars are taller than wide? Sorry, don't mean to hijack...

RR, yeah, I wish I had found the widemouths before I started. Hopefully these will continue to colonize.

I have since knocked up 4 widemouths, and purchased a nice stash for the next grow.

Read all the text and watch the brf tek videos on this page and it should answer your questions.
