Ok so here goes... I just started my PF/BRF Tek grow a few days ago.
I have done 6 1/2 Pint BRF Jars, I have a Pressure Cooker so I used that they were sterilized for 90mins.
Thanks goes out to Sporeworks for quick delivery and a free syringe!
After Pressure cooking I let the jars sit for a couple of days INSIDE the pressure cooker, I didn't open it to maintain sterility. After that I knocked up 6 jars with a GT Spore Syringe.
Innoculation was done at approx 12 midnight (the morning of 10/6).
Now here is where it got complicated, I was too busy paying attention to the spore solution in the jars than how much I was putting in... so the first 2 jars ended up with a massive dose and 1 only got about 1/2 a dose as I ran out of spore solution in that syringe.
Some 60hrs later I have 3 jars showing signs of life... good or bad remains to be seen, The 3 jars not showing anything I THINK are the 2 I over dosed and the 1 tiny dose so I'm not too worried about them... I will also say that I don't have micropore tape over the innoc holes and had until today left the aluminum foil on the lids (fear of contamination), but I finally removed them today as I was taking pics... And here are the pics

From what I can tell it looks like myc but I'm concerned it could be cobweb mold... I'm not really in a hrurry I'm heading out of Town on Wednesday for a Week so they are going to be in my incubator for several days should be a nice surprise when I get back from DC
could be good or bad though with that many days unattended. Anyways I'll take some more pics of everyone before I leave on Wed...
