I used brf and its my first grow but all three of my bags colonized relitivly fast. My .02
Let me here your 2 cents. I used brown rice whole grain and vermiculite. I also did a few different jars after running out of the whole grain. I used Oatmeal which seems to be working nice and I did a few jars with only instant whoel grain brown rice.
The instant rice is colonizing twice as fast as the other jars showing the same growth in half the time.
What you got I want to dial in this is my first run
Substrate for making cakes on pf tek style jars? I have only used brown rice flour and ground up wild bird seed to make cakes, I'd stick to the brown rice without a pressure cooker. If you have a cooker try spawning grains to bulk, it will be much more worth your time and effort than cakes.
Loose grains colonize much faster than cakes because you can shake them to spread the mycellium.
Popular choices are rye berries, wild bird seed, and popcorn.
Still learning here doin jars on my first run. I do have a pressure cooker.
I like popcorn. I've tried rye and wbs and both have their pros and cons but find popcorn to be the best all around. Much easier to get the water content right. I've grown pounds over the last year or so using popcorn to coir.
So you've decided to branch out into mushies now Balzac? I picked it up as a hobby about two years ago during the "offseason." Good way to pass the winter while you plan out the outdoor for next year.![]()

what kind of coir do you use?
I always wanted to learn, but it always looked to complicated. To tell you the truth its less complicated than growing maryjane.
Whats your favorite strain? Im starting wiht Z I was thinking Ecudorian or Penis Envy next order.
Any good videos on youtube about bulk substrate after this run I might be going bigger.
With popcoarn whats your mix on water I'm using 1 pint jars widewouth
editttttttt
