I have a question - if you go to a monotub (which I have never done) and you break up your cakes, mix in the coir ect... how do you keep it from getting triched or contaminated in some other way from anything that is on the verm or coir?  what is the trick?

there is no trick.

don't break up cakes & spawn to bulk w/ them. Cakes should be fruited as cakes.

You use grains to spawn to bulk, such as coir+verm.

check out my tek in my signature & Damion5050's elementary coir tek. (it's in my tek too).

Also, you use semi-sterile procedure when spawning to bulk, because fully colonized spawn is extremely contam resistant & properly pasteurized bulk is extremely contam resistant...

I'm gonna do pint cakes after this grow with the little cakes stacked, see if I really have a grip on things (and a little more diligent patients) And build a GB/SAB to practice my sterile tek because I want to try and get an LC going from a piece of clean cut live mush to try and do a clone. Work with LC for a lil while see how it does with cakes and use cakes to spawn to bulk sub (I know that some would discourage this but I think its a good stepping stone to doing bulk anyway) Take some prints yada yada. I have like 7 total pins today I am hoping to see many more soon! Looks like I'll be making my June 20th time line after all!

Don't bother with pint cakes, even for spawning.
And don't bother cloning to LC, get some agar for $1.69 and use that.

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

:whathesaid:

don't do pints, as you'll have trouble w/ them colonizing fully. That's why we always use fat 1/2 pints for PF tek.

skip the LC "clone" & drop that piece on agar. I actually prefer to pick the quickest/largest pin I have from a cake/tub & drop that on agar & use it.

here's a pick of the PE6 I have going right now right after sectoring, which was around 1 o'clock in the picture. It's a little over colonized, but is working out great so far.

I'd recommend a PC for anything beyond PF tek.

:2cents:

I'm sure there's people on the forum that'll have teks that don't use PCs for it, but I don't like risking it.

lmao
first, im not going to post pics. that was my first decision before signing up. its cool if you guys want to log all your illegal activity on a public form for everyone to see to impress complete strangers. but thats not for me.
second, i dont care if you guys dont believe me lol, i could care less. i just like pointing noobies in the right direction and discuss topics that interest me most.

theres also tons of way of cultivating mushrooms, mixing, matching stuff with things. cultivating is like playing with lego, very sterile, yummy, legos. :smile:

I know most of you members that have been here for awhile have very strong opinions about your teks and the way you do things, and im sure you guys think theres No other way to do things. but crumbled cakes to pasterized H/poo, then to damions coir tek has always worked for me. except of course the crumbled cakes has always been WBS spawn bags from my fav vendor. Sorry to rambol but this is why i like to help noobs lol, cuz of narrow minded ppl.
Good luck with your grow there babz. :thumbup:

spector - that's not a cake. that's grain spawned to bulk, just like 1/2 this forum does. & who says those are my pictures? :lol: really? You're anonymous online as long as you want to be. If you're that paranoid, you shouldn't even have logged onto this forum.

as for you going grain to manure to coir that sounds like a complete waste to me. Manure is great & will rock 3 flushes, then you put into your compost pile & it fruits again & again...

Those of us members that are here to stay, are here to stay. We accept change just like everyone else, but if it ain't broken don't fix it, bro.

we stick to what we know works great & we try to help others and encourage others to always KISS. Also, we enjoy helping others & encourage the hobby for everyone that wants to get involved.

This hobby impacted my life immensely in a positive matter. I'm a much better person today since I engaged in my current endeavors.

you misunderstood me, im going to be crumbling cakes, instead of WBS. that is the process im going to be following now.
tho point to adding the poo to coir, is keep expanding my sub. iv believe i read in one of your post that you do 1:1 ratio of WBS to coir, im going to be doing that same thing just diffrent.

listen im glad you have your own opinion, but posting that was just a way to try to discredit what i just said, and there way no point to it.
its funny how ridiculous that post just was lmao.

cakes to bulk is just too much work.

If you've had success w/ grain then keep w/ it.

I do try to keep to high spawn ratios w/ coir, because coir doesn't provide the nutrients like manure does. W/ manure, you don't need as high as spawn ratios to get just as many mushis.

I'm not trying to discredit you, but it still sounds like too much work. You're adding an extra step, that is, essentially, pointless.

Please stop w/ this & keep w/ the OP's topic. I'm done w/ this conversation unless you'd like to continue in :pm:

I'm curious why you would spawn a more nutritious sub(manure) to a less nutritious(coir)...whats the point

this is my lost post.
but Ay, you guys act like im talking to my self, if there is "jacking" going on its not just me, you guys are posting statements and im answering the ones directed to me. this could of stopped a long time ago as i never directed them to any of you i just posted a quick comment.  :shrug:

Edit: the reason I spawn my poo to coir is, instead of having one tub with 4" sub depth, i know have two tubs with 4" sub depth. but i think thats pretty self explanatory :thumbup:

Any way are there any more bids for # of pins on my cakes? this is day two of counting and someone already won a DT print. Still taking guesses the closest guess without going over wins.
