props to you sonar thats a good ratio shroom growing seems to not be my specialty half always end up contaming or not germing i swear its the verm i think the grannules r to small and canndo that avatar is nuts i stared at it for like ten minutes

Yeah, it's weird how the circles never ever miss the holes.

o shit yeah thats probably a good idea. makes alot of sense to leave the holes open. i could have sworn that i got the silicone idea from the pf tek sticky thred but now that i look for it i cant find it any where lol idk maybe i missed it but yeah ill take off the silicone. im gonna leave one jar just to see if it does work out for shits and giggles now. thanks for the catch sonar! still no spores yt but its only 11am so plenty of time for UPS to hopefully show up today.

just got done innoculating jars. we did 2 BT, 2 amazon, 2 creeper, and 3 of the alacabenzi for a total of 9 jars. idk if there steralzed enough though. i didnt have a big pot avalable to steam the jars so i got a deep dish aluminum oven pan, filled with about 1/2 inch of water and totally covered the top with aluminum foil and stuck them n the oven till the water started to boil and let it sit for almost 2 hrs n there. should b good for now but im for sure using a big ass pot next time. innoculation went pretty smooth i think. at least i got some experiance doing it if anything. ill get pics hopefully tomorow but if not then monday. merry christmas to all and ill keep u guys posted.
