12/12 is optimal, but by all means if due to your schedule you can only do 10/14 or 9/15 then that will work to.
First number before the slash being the light phase and the one after the slash is the dark phase

This is a fantastically simple explanation for a first time grow. I plan on diving into my first grow in a month or two (finances!) and will definitely be using this method. Thanks for sharing this wonderful info!

I cannot find Brown rice flour for the life of me. Could I just grind brown rice into a powder myself??

Yup sure can. But you should try our local health food store. They are big on that type of thing. And if you don't want to do it yourself you can always order the stuff online.

You COULD do that. Grinding your own brown rice is more nutritious then pre-ground brown rice flour sold in bags. Be sure the rice you use is organic.
Another 2 options are to get rye or wild birdseed and grind them into flour yourself OR, get to a feed supply store and get you a 50 pound bag of rice bran for 40 American dollars. Rice bran is pre-ground and is also higher in nutrition then brown rice flour for the same reasons as grinding your own grain, the remaining of the grain's husk. A grain's husk is where MOST of the grains available nutrition is harbored.

Yes, and its normally not in the normal flour section. It is normally in the organic or healthfood section.

Hey! First of all, thank you for posting this. I have read through the whole threat before starting and it was great help. My jars are almost at 100% :-) Second, however I dont think i found an answer to the following question. Is it ok to reuse perlite from the terrarium and is regular misting of cakes enough to maintain humidity or should i remove some perlite wet it again and toss it back in? I would rather sound dumb and ask it then mess up my work up to date.

You can rinse and reuse perlite. Use some bleach, it comes out pearly white. ;0)
You should not have to remove the perlite just to re-moisten it. Spray it in place.
Good luck,

Asking for prints in Mush Cult is not allowed.
Try the Marketplace (you may need to wait a bit)
Good luck,
JD

Greetings from Poland! After a few years of growing cannabis I decided to give shrooms a shot. I'm waiting for a print and in the meantime I'm collecting both knowledge and stuff needed for the pf tek. I've read this whole thread and some other threads and articles here and on other websites. I still need some help though.
1. I'm having trouble finding good jars. Which would be the lesser of two evils: using tall 1/2 pint jars with lids, or wide mouth 1/2 pint glasses with tin foil used instead of lids? 2. I found two perfect jars, 1/2 pint wide mouth, but without 100% fitting lids (they seem to fit, but if I poor some water in and put the jar upside down, water is seeping through it). Is it going to be a problem? I mean, you're recommending leaving the inoculation holes uncovered for colonization anyway. 3. I don't have a PC, I'll be using a regular pot with a lid for sterilization. What is it that actually sterilizes the jars and the substrate? Steam or water can't penetrate the jars because they're sealed with tin foil, right? So is it the water from the substrate that actually sterilizes the inside of the jars? 4. I have a spare weed growbox that I can use for both colonization and fruiting stage. I have 4 slots for 24W 6400K CFL's. How many should I use for colonization (if any) and how many for fruiting? I'll have +/- 5 1/2 pint cakes.
Thanks Shea and everyone else for the main post and all the other posts in this thread, and thanks in advance for your help regarding my questions.

1. They can both work, either one will be fine (try both and see which one you like better).
2.No problem you should be fine, just make sure you cover with aluminum foil when you sterilize.
3. The steam.
4. I don't know what your weed grow box looks like, but I would just build a Shotgun Fruiting Chamber (SGFC) out of a clear tub and call it a day. You can use as much light as you want as long as it isn't raising the temperature too high.

Shea25 said: I use a modified PMP for a fruiting chamber. Does cubes and cyans great. Keeps constant FAE and high RH. When I have time I still manually fan and mist. I also use a 4 foot double bulb florescent fixture with 2 6500K bulbs in it, using a 12/12 lighting schedule.
Example


The chamber does not look like that now I changed it a round a bit no more rock in the bottom just more perlite and water
could you post a tutorial on how to make your chamber?

So the steam is touching the jar from the outside, rising the temperature of the substrate inside the jar and thus sterilizing it? Just curious.

I guess I should've mentioned that I indeed intend to put a SGFC inside the growbox. I do want to follow the tek as closely as possible. The growbox is just for discretion, ventilation if needed (2 fans) and light. So would 4x24W lightbulbs be an advantage over 1 lightbulb, as long as I maintain the right conditions inside the FC?
Thanks again, much appreciated.
Edit: russhroom, it's not a tutorial but that's what Shea wrote later in this thread, in case you missed it:

It different then what the picture shows at the moment, Its just a tote with 3 inches of perlite and 1 inch of water with 3 bubbler bars connected to a duel output fish pump. Works great

Just use something like THIS. I may be wrong but I don't think wattage plays that big of a role and it should be plenty of light for a growbox.

winged_1, that's exactly what I meant by 6500K CFL's (compact fluorescent lamps). You're right, it's not wattage that matters but luminous flux and my CFL's are 1350 lumens each. It doesn't really matter for me how many I put in (1-4) since I already have plenty, and I remember people saying the more light the better. I'm just curious how many is enough and how many is an overkill. If you're saying 1 is plenty then I guess I'll use 1.
