BRF as spawn for bulk: questions
    #13988250 - 02/19/11 01:28 AM (12 years, 11 months ago)

So I have about 2liters of colonized BRF cakes waiting to be put into a sgfc.

For my next grow, I'm switching to WBS with bulk using Ohmatic's monotub.

I was thinking of going straight to the monotub instead of the whole perlite/sgfc tek (since I would have to build a new one to contain these cakes).

Can I just use Damion5050's coir/verm tek as substrate, and just mix the colonized BRF jars as is? Importantly, should I do the 24 hour drunk before I mix it in, or is this not necessary?

Would BRF work with the coir/verm+monotub tek, and are there any other precautions I need to keep in mind? Would it be OK to add any nitrogen boosters such as Gypsum to the substrate?

Fruit them as cakes. You will have more success. I mean, you COULD spawn the cakes, but your results probably won't be too different. Just fruit those suckers :laugh:. Plus, you'll get your mushies quicker :P.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists & will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together.

You can use his TEK, a dunk is not necessary. Gypsum is fine.

i did the same thing with my first brf cakes

i made some mistakes

first you want to make sure you wash off the verm layer pretty well

then you want to break up the cakes really fine

kinda difficult to get it done by hand so ive read people using blenders to get it coarse but not mushy

then you have to wait a couple weeks for the cakes to fully colnize your substrate


if i had to do it again id just fruit the cakes directly

Just fruit those cakes,,, that is a good idea,, i have GRRReat Success with casings!! Buy some aluminum pans w/e size you desire not to deep though!! Peat and verm with H2o them sterilized in microwave for ten mins in 1 min intervals!! case/cover wit foil, wait a week or so till whole top of casing is covered with that lovely white fluffiness!! put in fc!! mist fan you will not be disappointed!  Also when you have had a few flushes you can get a couple more outside!
