Cultivator in training: Penis Envy

So I just ordered a Penis Envy spore syringe and 1 lb. of brown rice flour. I'm going to be doing the regular brf cake, following the mushroomvideos.com videos. Have to buy vermiculite, perlite, jars, and tupperware container. Do I have to have micropore tape? Any alternative? Advice? Comments?

verm layer on top is fine, no tape needed.. its just an extra precaution..
also pollyfill can be used in place of tape..

When you make your jars you need to leave about an inch at the top and put dry verm there. This will act as your filter

yea the verm layer works good if you leave your cakes alone but i know as a noob i was picking them up and looking at them all the time. I used tinfoil for cakes it isnt the best it slows the jars down but it works if your going to be moving them all the time

Will a large 19 Gallon non-transparent plastic storage tub be too big for 12 1/2 pint jars?

Yeah that 19 gallon tub is not going to cut it... You'll have the perlite in there (about 3-4 inches) and you have to leave space to the fruits to grow.

these are 18 gal monos with 3-1/2" of substrate and their is alot of airspace in the tub for fruiting.
even with 5" of perlite and a 3"tall cake that leaves 8-10" of airspace for fruiting 12 - 1/2 pint cakes (see the pink tub, you can see the sub level).
I dont have a pic of my 18 gal shotgun FC or I would post it to show cakes in it.

that happens from time to time due to the difficulty of printing PE.
but its soooo worth the wait.
the left 12qts are PE inoculated yesterday.
the other 13qts are Atl#7s.
good luck with yours!

Very worth the wait, I just ordered a new syringe of PE from thehawkseye.com, and they shipped out almost the next day! I also have a two year old syringe that I forgot about, that I was going to squirt into some karo water to see if its still viable, and then even more PE for the party !!

I inoculated 3 1/2 pint plastic containers and 3 glass pint jars last Saturday. Now at day 8 I am seeing serious mycelial growth. Had a some trich in two of the plastic containers. I sterilized all containers using the Microwave Tek. One of the half pints has almost completely colonized the outside of the jar, this jar also had this big mass of mycelium growing on top of the cake that eventually turned a light pink colour, idk wtf that shit was but at the base of it was this green mold so I scooped it out.
