Haha completely agree with you on that dude!!
Let us know how it goes frequentfryer. The pf tek really is hard to get wrong as long as you follow the teks on here. As for spawning brf cakes to bulk ive had some success bulkin to coir/verm. Tried bulkin to popcorn and it was so slow ended up burying it in the garden... But probably more due to contam than the actual substrate. Good luck!

Thanks for the good vibes man! maybe ill make a grow journal. These forums are great, i joined grasscity two years ago with no knowledge about growing, and i've grown 3-4 mature nice plants since. Share the knowledge, for what comes around goes around.  Little update. Brown rice flower obtained. Also got a sprayer, a half pint wide mouth, and a bigger stubby true wide mouth jar. Which is better to use?

What size is the bigger one? Anything larger than half pint will probably not be good, cuz the substrate will compact and it will stall. Also a coffee filter is not a contam barrier, it will not be of any use. Make a proper glovebox, don't use a sock drawer....

Alright so i went into ace today and they said they dont sell verm in ca anymore. wtf? So i went down to do it best and they had one bag left on the shelves. Perfect.  Used a 2:1:1 ratio, and dry verm on top. Im only doing 1 half pint jar right now, down want to jump into this and get over my head. Anyways, couple questions. Cake needs 100% darkness while incubating corrct? How long should it cool for? say 5 hours? Its being boiled not pc'd. Should i put a coffee filter on top even though i have dry verm on it, just incase. Or would this fuck up my gas exchange? Really appreciate the help considering growing mushrooms isn't to common. And the ones who do supply the whole area so there lookin to make profit and be the top dog. Anyways, ill keep you guys posted.

100% darkness is old info. Keeping them on a shelf with indirect light is actually beneficial. I would wait at least 6 hours, the jar should be cool to the touch. I usually just leave them overnight. Don't use a coffee filter. It can mess up GE and isn't the least bit useful for filtering contams out.

I think you need to read the pf tek and follow it exactly, or you can also look up RRs Lets Grow Mushroom videos and follow those and those two resources alone will answer almost all of your questions for now. From what you've been posting it seems like you have a lot more researching to do.

I've done quite a bit of research, and im well on my way. I just like to use this forum for little questions to get a more detailed answer. Those videos are great though!
