12 psi VS. 15 psi

Ok, I have my self a cheap-ass Pressure cooker. It has no weight, no gauge, no adjustments of any kind. The documentation says that with a steady hiss of steam comming out of the valve, it cooks at 12 psi. I notice that everyone here says to do everything at 15 psi. do I simply PC for a bit longer? or is it not even worth worrying about? I grew for well over a year without a PC, but I got one so I could work with grains. Any info on this would be a big help. Thanks everyone.

Thanks Matts, I've been PC'ing for an hour as well, just for safty compensation. I'm not having much luck as of yet though, so far all jars seem to show zero growth, no matter what the substrate, and ALL smell in one fomr or another, yet my control jars aren't contaminated in any way as of yet. I think I've traced my problem back to bad syrnges that were improperly stored. I've made fresh ones from a spore print I've JUST recived, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I use 10psi for 30 Minutes with a 15 Minute cool-down before the next batch. It's a small cheapass 20$ pressure cooker and only holds 3 jars. Works for me and I've never had a contamination problem.

Mine was free. I went with this one chick I know to hang with her aunt and smoke a joint. Her husband had just shot himself (why we went to chill with her, cause she needed it.) Just out of nowhere she asked if we knew anyone who wanted a PC, cause she didn't know how to use it. It was like a godsend at the time.

I let mine depressurize on it's own, it does so in the 15 minutes after I cut the heat off. I've heard decompressing it too fast mess with the water content in the jars.
5 Min on Med-Hi, 25 Minutes on low-med, 15 off to cool down.
