Coir bulk substrate, questions about humidity
    #14581244 - 06/08/11 06:36 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I've been colonizing 5 beautiful verm/BRF patties using the simple pf tek method. So far so good, about 90% colonized no contaminates. I realized after endless studying of different methods and grow logs that my yield isn't going to be quite what I expected. Possibly getting ahead of myself but what the fuck, Ive done the research. Moving on to bulk seems like the next logical step after a few more grows. I like Doc's Wild Bird Seed Tek, the method Ive decided to use for this future grow, and as a newcomer I'm going to keep it simple with the coir/verm substrate, my only question is once put into fruiting, do i just simply introduce FAE and mist periodically? If so how periodically?(i would expect when my experiment looks to be drying, but not dry. But i don't know for sure) Should I use a humidifier? Is perilite an option? Could I solve all of these problems by simply putting them in a self humidifying/air exchange environment using something like Cyber's Martha Tek? Please, if your going to be a dick don't even respond. Nobody starts off an expert, otherwise the word wouldn't even exist.

i went like this.

colonized some pint BRF cakes (never got to fruit cuz of incorrect chamber)

colonized some rye (got to fruit barely in an incorrect fruiting chamber)

then i did BRF cakes correctly in a SGFC

then i did rye > coir correctly in a SGFC

now i do monotubs.

monotubs arent as easy as you're thinkin.

start off with a SGFC in my opinon.

I just recently switched to monotubs from SGFC and greenhouse grows, and I think it's THE BEST bulk tek I've tried so far..  I'm lovin it..  :thumbup:

..but as far as cakes go..  the shotgun FC is the way to go..

You're probably correct, but i dont expect it to be easy. Also if i stay optimally sterile and follow the tek, after a few grows, I would imagine some sort of success. Thanks for the replies though, I will definitely give the SGFC a shot for my first grow. I'm thinking one with perilite and one using a cool mist humidifier(to consider the difference). I need to study more on the cleanliness factor of it, what do I do about standing water at the bottom of my FC?

I did BRF/VERM PF tek and did well.  I then went to mini mono and mono and have had mixed results:

1 Mini Mono did fair (very small fruits = 12g dry so far) rye to 50/50 coir/verm
1 Mini mono contam'd
1 Mini mono now going from colonization to fruiting - no pins on day 2
1 Mono tub now going from colonization to fruiting - no pins day 2

I have learned through failure to think of mono's as PF teks in terms of GE (holes in cover during colonization - never open jar and never peek at a mono tub).  Also in terms of FAE (put in SGFC to obtain FAE) and light.  Also - my spawn ratios were too low and I might have fruited to early.  With PF Tek you can see colonization through the glass.  With mono's you cover the glass and can't see.
