last minute grow questions
    #14093321 - 03/09/11 04:05 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

im doing my last sterilization boil tonight and then im going to inoculate them once they cool for a few hours. i have three major questions:
- how easy is it to over boil pf cakes? im inspecting my cakes closely and i think there is still ample amount of moisture in them but im not 100% sure. I boiled them for 60 min the other day and the pf cakes closer to the bottom were getting bubbles/water splashed on the side.
- does the colinization chamber (i.e. the incubator) have to be well humidified? i think i will anyways because of my unsureness of the cakes being hydrated enough.
- would it be a bad idea to leave my pf cakes colonizing for 8 days while im gone on a trip?

Dont think you need to worry about over boiling.
I wouldnt use an incubator.. Set them on a shelf or something. (dont humidify your cakes till you birth them)
8 days, youll be fine.

In that case I'd suggest placing them at the highest point in the room you're leaving them in. Heat rises.

I wouldn't spend money on it. Find a warm spot, over the fridge or wherever.

Heat bomb in a cooler, if you're set on doing it. Don't go over 78F.
