Mass Production.
    #14059955 - 03/03/11 01:05 PM (13 years, 2 days ago)

What is the cheapest, simplest and easiest way to produce large amounts or fruit? (PLEASE- STEP BY STEP, and DOs and DON'Ts)

I've been using PF-TEK/BRF Cake Jars and SGFC's but the perlite cost is outta hand.

I want to continue to grow indoors in a room 20'x25' and I'd like to do it in terrariums, but I need ALOT BIGGER, & ALOT LONGER LASTING mycelium than i am getting from 1/2pint jars. (or would it be better to just have MORE JARS and FC's)?

Its just I'm sure the perlite get contam eventually- and its costly.

any help would be greatly appreciated as always.

You can sterilize or pasteurize the perlite if you think it got contaminated.
But bulk grow with coir in Mono-tub's is what you want.
Check "Damion5050 coir tek"

You can sterilize and re-use the perlite....But use the search function, there has to be 10,000 threads and grow logs on bulk growing


--------------------
The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

Straw is cheap, and horse manure is free.
Bulk bags of bird seed is cheap.

Look for a farm supply store. They will have 4 cubic foot bags of vermiculite for cheap. (also they will have the straw, and either garden magic (casing layer), or reed sedge peat (mix 50/50 with vermiculite for a cheap casing layer). You can also pick up high calcium limestone and powdered gypsym for cheap at farm supply stores.

That's about as cheap as it gets.

Check my signature in the "AMU Q&A" Thread we have about 3 pages @ the beginning concerning bulk grows.

Monotubs are the easiest for bulk but it's an "all eggs in 1 basket" scenario.

Skip the casing layer, it's not needed.  Ergo, you don't need lime,
peat or vermiculite.  You don't even need vermiculite in the
substrate.
Can't get cheaper of easier than that.




Depends on what type of grow.

Curious though, what type of yields people have got without a casing layer. Is there a tek?

Check the AMU Q&A thread link in my sig. Study's been done. Casing does not produce more fruits. It's used, in the case of cubes, if you're having RH problems. Due to the fact of a "casing" layer being non-nutrient. You're not adding stuff for the myc to colonize, but adding a buffer to produce the perfect RH for fruits.
