I hate you PFtek... 50 PF cakes. Penis Envy (log?)
    #12534743 - 05/09/10 11:08 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

PF bulk is miserable too much work and a huge mess. Oh well, I did these because I had some BRF I wanted to get rid of and I have TONS of PE Grain LC.

Anyway this is day one theyve been consolidating for 1-2 weeks some are pinning in the jar, nothing serious. 8 hour soak then roll in verm.



Some are fat 1/2 pints, some are tall and some are 1/4 pints. I just used every PF type jar I had.

No dry verm layer was used. I used four 1/8th inch holes with micropore then replaced the micropore after inoculating. Out of the 50 or some jars none contamed and none stalled out all did very good.

Stay tuned for some sexy porn.

Update #1 5/11:
Cased! I have them here for now, gotta make a bigger shotgun FC tomorrow...



-------------------------------------------
Here are some of my previous grows.







Always done the same strain, PESA...

Curious to grow PE.

LxWxH in inches then multiply .55 (the amount of fl oz in a square inch) then divide that number by 128 (the amount of fl oz in a gallon) to get an accurate amount of volume for the space.

If you are doing that many cakes, then obviously bulk is the way to go.

Thats a ton of cakes.

do you just plan on fruiting them as is or is there a chance you might mash some into a larger substrate?

Yes, PFTek is a lot of work, but it's reliable and a great way to use up space :wink:

Looking forward to your pictures!!

The PF-tek is way less work than going bulk.

you seriously think so?

is that because you don't spawn it to coir/manure?

I'll admit that it's a generalized statement to say which is more work than others.

I feel that the initial preparation of BRF cakes vs grains is about the same.

I feel that it's about as easy to tell infected BRF vs infected grain.

I feel that bulking out the grains into Coir/Verm is about the same work as the Dunk and Roll attention I give to the BRF cakes.

I feel that BRF cakes require a lot more fanning and misting attention than bulk does.

I feel that there's more infection risk in my personal case* when it comes to bulking out grains and having them colonize clean during the 10-15 days - BRF infected stuff gets pulled out at an earlier phase and thus is zero effort at this point in comparison.

I guess by looking at it this way and really breaking it down, it IS pretty even :smile:

* I've got carpet, animals, and an inability to section off a room for a highly sterile environment.

That was grown in a DocT mini monotub. Spawned 1:1 Coir/Verm. Didnt do anything special just kept the RH up with misting and my strain took care of me.

No way man, PFtek is a pain when you do over like 12 in my opinion. Inoculating is a bitch you have to do 4 holes for each jar. It's miserable BUT it is very reliable and produces plenty of goods.

Obviously you have never had to pasteurize large amounts of manure, which take an hour of constant stirring. Then get it to field capacity. Then mix in gysum and whatever else you like. You still have to inoculate the grain, not to mention soaking them for 24 hours. You also have to pressure cook your grain a lot longer than the PF tek. Going bulk is back breaking work.  The PF tek requires alot less work and is faster to prepare, it was deigned this way to make it easy. You dont know what your talking about, I have done both many many times.

I would have to agree with Clone, PF-tek is much easier than bulk.

Mix. Load. PC. Inoculate. Fruit. I don't think it gets anymore simple than that. No casing, no spawning, no grain prep, yadda, yadda, yadda...

If you G2G'd them those 12 could easily become 60+.  Seems to me that when I start PF and then g2g to a rye they colonize faster than starting rye and g2g with more rye.  Could be that they are getting a better start having the rice flour in the beginning.

Yah, you get more nutes, or nodes, or whatever you want to call them. It spreads out more with more points to grow from.

No way!!

If you look at weight, a couple of mono tubs will give me 14 ounces on the first flush.
And I never case my tubs, there's no need.

Lets see how much work it takes for you to get 14 ounces from the pf tek...
