Where does one buy the small wide 1/2p?

My stores only sell tall skinny 1/2p
I found mine at walmart, but walmart rarely carries jars when i need them, i've gotten some off amazon.. pretty cheap.. if you find a really good cheap site, POST IT.. lol

i have alot of the tall skinny ones also, i use them to.. dont notice any difference except you can fit more skinny ones into a fruiting chamber.

I order mine online from Ace Hardware and have them sent to my local store. Usually takes about a week. Last time I ordered it was in the middle of winter, so I'm pretty sure they have them in the warehouse (or at least the warehouse that covers my region) all year long. This is canning season so my store has them in stock for the time being.

I think you can have them sent to your house too if there isn't an Ace Hardware around where you live, but I image there would be shipping costs. Shipping to the store and picking them up there is free. Ace Harware is national chain though I think so there should be one around.

I got a PF Tek going on right now. I followed the v2 guide from shroomery. Its my second go around, last one was successful, so i'm pretty anxious for these to finish. I only went with 10 jars this go.

I went with the KOH Samui Super which is a new relatively new strain. "An improved isolation of the popular Thai Koh Samui. More aggressive with better flushes, larger fruit and more resistant to contamination. A definite winner."

I Shopped with Ralphsters like usual. Very trustworthy provider.

Inoculated on August 18, 2011.

Here was 1.5 Weeks after inoculation.

Everything is going good, just waiting for the bottoms and the centers to fill out until its time to birth. I was going to go with the regular 10 Gallon Fish Tank method in the PF Tek tutorial, but which types of setups do you guys recommend for the fruiting chamber?

I just used a cardboard box for incubator, really its not an incubator just a dark spot. did you mean fruiting chamber or incubation chamber?

When it comes to the incubator, how would I go about placing the heater? I know it shouldn't be touching either of the plastics, but what's the best way to achieve that? Does the heater come with what you'd need to do that already?

the heater that i gave you the link to comes with two suction cups, so you can place it just like it is in the picture. except i put mine diagonal..and im not doing enough jars to weigh it down so the water level isnt where it says in the picture but it still works.

So I finally got everything, and went to inject my jars, and out of the 12cc's I only got to fill 6 of the jars. When I'd inject a tiny bit into a hole, and pull it out, it'd still be dripping, is that normal? Most of it probably ended up on the first 2 lids or something, until I realized it'd stop if I held it upside down, is that normal? I contacted the supplier and asked for another one, seemed defected to me...

I no longer feel the need to grow mushrooms or take them. They have helped me in so many ways, I can't begin to count them. I still belive in their power, and hope anyone who needs them finds them, and I hope you all learn the love of the Universe. Meditation is now my favorite and only "Drug". Till my path leads me back.
I love you all. - D3VL


"Psychedelic experience is only a glimpse of genuine mystical insight, but a glimpse which can be matured and deepened by the various ways of meditation in which drugs are no longer necessary or useful. If you get the message, hang up the phone. For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works on what he has seen..."
