is a dry vermiculite layer neccesary with filtered lids?
    #14165895 - 03/22/11 05:22 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

good evening,

i am planning and preparing something. i will be PCing some large PFtek style blocks really soon. 2:1:1 with gypsum and coffee ground suppliments

i will be using 42oz (2.65 pint) pp5 gladware containers, with silicone self healing innoc points and tyvek filtered GE hole. i got a painters suit made from dupont tyvek.i intend to replace the tyvek every time i PC the lids.

i was going to layer the lids GE fitler as i have seen it many teks on here

MP tape:tyvek:Lid:tyvek:MP tape

would a dry vermiculite layer be neccesary with the filtered lids?

thanks

I am looking for any shiitake strains, any oyster strains, and lions mane cultures. i got cool edibles to trade.

Not as a filter, but I like a thin layer of dry verm on top and bottom.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

do you find this makes it easier to birth the cakes? i was thinking so myself, but i never birthed a PF type cake before.
thanks

I like the way the myc digs into it, works like a casing layer.
