i can't wait to see how this is going to turn out....

erowid has this to say about the lids on canning jars;

Now, place the jar lids in place. Normally, the jar lids have a rubber seal that is placed in contact with the glass of the jar. Traditionally the rubber seal is not placed in contact with the glass. It was placed on the upper side of the lid. The reason was that people thought it would make too tight of a seal. This does not seem to be an issue. If you wish to follow tradition, place the rubber on the upper side of the lid. Screw the lid down tight. Note that you need to have the four holes poked in the lid in Step 1. Otherwise you can have real problems when you heat these jars up!

erowids on using a steamer or boiler;

Normally, most people will elect to use a large kitchen pot to sterilize the culture jars. A pressure cooker can be used instead. Instead of letting the substrate jars sit in boiling water for 1 hour, you can place them in a pressure cooker set to 10 or 15 P.S.I for 20 minutes.

One caution. Do not release the pressure until the unit is fully cooled. The substrate in the culture jars will be at 250 F. If pressure is released, moisture will boil out of the substrate.
Advantage:

If you use a pressure cooker, you can sterilize the jars quicker and with more certainty.


Disadvantages:

Pressure cookers cost money. If you already have one, there is no disadvantage. You may as well use it!

this is true, and if you have not seen any of nashbars posts he has some wonderful pictures of mass production using casings.

it would be worth checking out. in fact because of him i bookmarked some info off shroomery.

best to learn how to crawl before tripping over own feet or something like that

True true

 

[massbaster]

excellent advice everyone. that last series of posts could not have read better. if you dont have options now for sterilization, give up. lol

anyhow , i just posted an update....with harvest and pics....

9 days. so far the growth in the jars is perhaps a little slower than average. maybe much slower. i don't let the temps get above the mids 70's. about half the jars have medium white mycelium blotches, some of the slower ones have small blotches. 1 of the jars has visible liquid i'm probably inaccurately identitifying as yellow metabolites.. it's seems to be going away tho. i figured metabolite not contam based on the observable properties...but wtf do i know.

the sealed inocultion holes on the other 4 jars are way behind in growth, i assume cause theres no gas exchange so i flipped the lids around. i'm hoping that's enough to allow for the exchange and i'm praying the top layer of verm is an effective barrier against contams.

i guess that's it for now, i'll try to get pics up soon.

interesting...im doing my first grow with a growbag...just to learn the process and see how it works. I'd like to eventually do the casing method but i need to learn more about it...good information though and thanks

nice I've grown some cubensis before, but it took me 2 trys cause the first time it got infected with the penicillen mold


you have to devote alot to keeping the whole project sterile but it was an excellent experience

 

[phishhead]

hey potsmoker, which method did you use? yea from what everyone's told me i'll be real lucky if i get even half my jars to fruit. that's why i love this site man, cause everyone helps eachother figure this out. we all have to start somewhere.

that's how i feel haha...my bag is just starting to colonize. The outer areas are starting first, but im going to let it go until the entire thing is completely white with mycelium. I'll get a picture/s later on today

Man that looks so fucking kool. yummy. how long did it take after you set them in the box out of the jars?

 

[Danky^dank]

def time to harvest! caps are open and loosing potency. look great though!!!

 

[Kushcrosser]

Usually when I put them in the fruit chamber, it takes about 7 to 10 days to finish. As for lettin them open up, I do it so I can get prints.
