moving past pf tek
    #14517881 - 05/26/11 09:33 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hi-

I've done one successful pf tek grow, and I've currently got 10 new jars inoculated and just days away from complete consolidation.

The yield from my first grow was very disappointing.  I think it had a lot to do with the conditions of the sgfc I used and the very low humidity in my winter apartment. 

Anyway, I'm confused as to what the next step toward higher yields is after getting acquainted with the life cycle from the pf tek.  What can I do with my just-about-consolidated jars, as opposed to simply fruiting them according to pf tek.  I have at my disposal another 66 qt container that is unmodified, and I'm willing to spend below $100 for a PC.

Any advice?

You can easily pick up a PC for under $100, even brand new. Things to learn:

-casing
-using bulk substrates (coco-coir, hpoo, etc.)
-grains (as spawn)
-LC, "g2g" (grain-to-grain) transfer, other inoculation methods
-different/more efficient/automated fruiting chambers, such as the mono-tub, or "martha"/greenhouse
-growing other species (pan cyan, etc)
-growing outdoors

Edit:
There are various things you can use those PF-cakes for, rather than just fruiting as-is. A simple dunk-and-roll can dramatically increase flush sizes in PF-cakes. You could also crumble & case your cakes; the casing will provide optimal conditions across the entirety of the cake surface, thus increasing harvest size. Spawning your cakes to a bulk substrate will yield highest returns; using coir, for example, and a 1:4 ratio would give you 4 times as much colonized substrate! (and, theoretically, a harvest 4 times larger).

How many flushes did u get out of your cakes? Second flush is usually better than the first
