HeatlessBBQ, your still refering to "casing" incorrectly. A casing is a layer that has no nutrients, its not supposed to colonize, it just provides a moist enviroment perfect for pinning. What you are talking about doing is crumbling a cake into coir, verm, crusted oyster shells, and pickling...

You mean SPAWNING, not casing... they are different... and yes, you can use a pf tek cake as SPAWN.

He is saying dont crumble up your cakes on top of your bulk substrate... You asked about casing with them when the correct term is spawning with them... layer or mix up broken cakes with your bulk substrate to make a giant colonized cake. A casing is a layer that goes on after colonization to...

95deg is way too hot! It will contam in no time at that heat. Room temp is fine(70-80) As far as 2 jars being faster, could be moisture content, could be less spores in the jar... did you say you made your own syringe from a print? make sure and shake syringes to break up spores also. Never...

yeah, loosening the lids is pretty sketchy... You need to use filters on the lids next time... if those jars stall and and dont finish colonizing, know that its because you have no way for gas to escape.

More fresh air would have stopped that green mold. Were the contaminated cakes in the center of the tubs by chance? Any of them? Once mycellium fully colonizes a substrate it is quite resistant to contamination. At that point lots of fresh air is how you avoid contamination. Although fine...

Aevia, did you end up loosening those lids? Everything looks good right now but if those start to stall out its definately because of no gas exchange.

Purchase from your local hardware store. They should have everything you need and you wont be supporting the devil. :)

ACTUAL HONEY? haha, thought you ment honey oil... yea, ill save the honey for beer brewing and peanut butter sandwiches I think... Good herb doesnt need flavoring. PEACE

You drilled through the top white part too, right? You'd honestly have to take out the tote beneath it too so it got unrestricted air flow from the bottom, sides, and top to really do a true comparison... those drawers are stacked closely together and its not getting uresrticted flow on the...

also, any word on your "true shotgun terrarium" with holes on every side? I wanna see side by side pics! haha... also, you should try using a BRF cake as spawn sometime... there are some pretty easy teks with coco coir(found at pet store) or horse manure(if you have access)... then you can break...

gee, thats like 15 syringes each time on your scale... That adds up pretty quick... If you wanna save a lot of money look into spore printing and making your own spore syringes... plus it will give you something to do with the growing pile of empty syringes! haha, looking good kitty!

easy, get a nice little glob of oil on the end of a saftey pin... wipe as much as you can off down the center of your paper were the fold is... then heat the saftey pin above the oil covered tip and drop the rest of the oil on the paper... while the needle is still hot wipe the oil accross the...

Cannabis and mushrooms actually flower and fruit at the same temp... 70-75 deg is fine for both... its even fine for colonizing mycellium. Mushrooms will require much more RH% than cannabis though. Although ive always dreamed of having a cannabis farm that gets supplemental co2 from a giant...

And you guys are talking about 2 different types of growing.. when making BRF cakes your inocculating you substrate off the bat, and you dont shake jars.... when your doing popcorn, grains, or bird seed your inocculating it as spawn, which will be colonized and transfered to a bulk substrate to...

When you said 12oz I knew that must have been a miscalculation... 5 is still really inpressive for a first flush on 28 cakes! Lookin good! Did you make a tote will holes on every side yet? Make sure it has at least 4" perlite. But yeah, dont worry about your yeild drop, 5 sounds much more...

The top totes are amazing! Sweet cakes! They MUST be getting better FAE on top... Im guessing any variety will do that good up top... Can you think of any reason they may be getting more air up there?? Does that toop tote for some reason have more holes than the others? ...ah, I bet for sure its...

Two good points Darth made here to consider for your TRUE shotgun terrarium.... "also in your true shotguns your making, make sure the perlite is 4-5 inches, you will not get desired humidity with anything less" "the perlite should be layed down lightly not packed, it allows more surface area "

Well she mentioned she was misting and fanning four times daily, thats about as much as you should be misting an unmodified shotgun... without holes on the bottom and top you are not getting enough fresh air exchange and would need to fan much more than 4 times daily to get the best growth, not...

Well I have heard of dessicants but never used them... I just now realized thats probably because I live in a desert! Haha, everything dries so quickly here, I dry in the open air to craker dry with no problems... Either way it is recomended to first air dry fruits with a fan on them for the...
