shroomybgood said: Great tek! Should I still use foil over my lids when pcing or does this eliminate the need for it?
I always use foil, for me it eliminates any question of:
"Why didn't my agar solidify?"
"My grains were dry when I loaded the jar why is there extra moisture?"
I use 1 single layer of Easy Felt which is about half the thickness of Vendor sold SFD's, Being its a little thinner I have seen water drip into the jar when the filter became saturated.
This could be a disaster in the same manner as vendor sold SFD's if you were to "pop" the weight off early and as the pressure releases the jar sucks extra moisture and water in through the filter, regardless if its a vendor sold or Easy Felt SFD, That's why I always use foil and let the PC cool naturally, keeps all the ratio's and eliminates one more variable into the already myriad of questions for every PC cycle every grow and every dish.
More often then not as n00bs we tend to look in the wrong place when issues arise. 
So why not make it easy on ourselves and reduce the variables so we can deduce efficiently
So if I have foil on my lids and allow for proper cool down of the pc, I can start looking for the vector/problem where I should be.
Thanks for all the kind words you guys I'm glad you enjoyed the Tek

haha, I could see the colors being an attractive bonus.


I have used different colors but just be careful that you dont choose the "glitter" sheets.
The glitter brings out the Disco-tech in me  , but when the funs all done you'll notice weird looks out in public, its not that they are laughing with you but they are laughing at you, as you strut through the market with glitter all over your face and hair...
My GF actually accused me of Smoochin with another girl....lol

Better late then never: Great write-up BA!
I will have to get some of this stuff.
You can add to your comparison to tyvek that apparently the pores are affected by repeated PCing. GE can be affected. (credit for idea to Hamloaf)
Also, to this list: ============================= Jar Lids
Can be used for:
* PF Jars Cakes
* Spawn Jars
* Petri Jars ============================= you can add "Spore print taking containers"
You are an great addition to the team bro.
Take care,
JD

Can a monotub colonize okay with the holes covered with just one piece of felt? Would that be allowing too much FAE? I suppose one could put a double piece of felt...
Let me know what you think Shroomery!

I haven't seen anyone else use this method, Boris uses the filters for GE for his big ol mono treys in his GH but its just for GE
I use them for everything.
heres my setup
hopefully you can glean some good info from it
I will have my mono tek up in a few,
in short, what I do is this:
1. spawn to bulk in your mono tub and close the lid.
2. place your tub in your fav location to colonize for 10 days and consolidate for 5-8 days
3. Introduce to fruiting conditions.
and watch the show 
           
since the Easy Disks are on the inside you can tape any holes you want, I dont ever mess with it anymore.
The trick is to have tonnes of FAE in the beginning then when you see pins raise your RH and drop the FAE, and give them plenty of water.
but as you can tell from that PES-A growlog, not much attention was needed. Almost a complete neglect.

thats a good question and I didnt mention it in the tek, but adding layers is another way to control the FAE, I dont layer though I just stick it on, spawn and walk away...lol

Great idea! I look forward to trying this & hope to say goodbye to tyvek and polyfill. Both are a bit of a hassle to me.

I was just getting ready to make new lids. Great idea.

Glad you like it, credit goes to Boris, He introduced me to the material. I just expanded the idea a lil bit and helped bring it out into the open.

I took a look at your grow. Very nice!
Okay, so it seemed to colonize just fine with a piece of felt over all the holes. Lately I have seen people talking about stuffing the holes really tight with polyfill while their monotub colonizes. So I wonder if a piece of felt is equivalent to that... If it is, that means later when the tub needs more FAE you won't be able to adjust accordingly, right?
Also, I saw somebody mention something about "double layer felt"... That is obviously thicker felt compared to other pieces of felt... I'm curious if that makes a big difference.
