PF tek lids
    #14397781 - 05/04/11 12:10 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I'm making some self healing lids with silicone and tyvek, but I don't have a 1/4th inch drill bit, only a 1/4 inch whole punch which I can only get to the edge of the lid. So I can't make the tyvek air whole in the center of the jar lid. Is it acceptable to make it near the edge? Silly question but everything I've read said to follow the tek exactly. Thanks abunch.

I dont get why your going through all the trouble of making self sealing inoculation ports.
You have a dry verm barrier, and the jars cant be shook.  Just put your 4 holes around the edge of the lid, cover with foil, PC, remove foil.  I like to just throw some micropore tape over the holes.:thumbup:

Tyvek sucks and so do cakes, buy a pressure cooker and make a monotub with Damion5050's elementary coir tek and rye berries and get ounces instead of 3-4 shrooms per cake.:awesomenod::thumbup::mushroomgrow:

Synthetic filter disks instead of tyvek.

If you use my jar in the lid light and a solid color tub it is more stealth than something that has been shot from 30 yards and filled 4" with cocaine looking rocks.

Cake

Mono

i would find a different monotub picture if you are trying to convince somebody about the greater possible yields of monos over cakes

:thumbdown:

I would rather have 10 pounds of coir with 2 dry ounces of shrooms from the first flush, than 12 cakes, 2 of which don't fully colonize making it 10, 4 don't pin at all, one turns green in the FC, and 7 grams dry total off the rest:shrug:(my first cake grow)

My second cake grow 2 cakes survived and wow, what producers they are, the veils already broke??

I got over 2 ounces dry from the first flush from a brick of coir and 6 quarts of spawn, that was my second grow and I think it looks beautiful considering it was MS and my first bulk :logic:  :needdrugs: I think you know what to do with your cakes.

just because you cant do cakes correctly doesnt mean that they suck

maybe its your technique that needs a little work

How many amazing flush pics you see on a cake?

How many amazing flush pics you see of bulk monos? You think anyone is doing isolates for their next big HP cake grow?LOL

Why would I want to take care of 12 little hockey puck subs, making sure they are properly hydrated and not contamed when I could just take care of 5 monos, not have to fan and mist all day, and then get dry OUNCES of shrooms all at once from ONE mono?

If one mono contams I carry it outside and dump it if one cake contams and I don't catch it before it turns green, then there goes all of my cakes because the FC is full of trich spores.
I rest my case.
