I have some jars that I cut proper sfd up into pieces to stretch them out. I am doing a pc load right now and left one with out foil to see what happens.

Also, I think most of the time "excess water" is jars is just condensation from the outside coooling before the inside regardless of speed. Either the agar or grain will probably re absorb it if giving enough time and the right temperatures.

I still agree with all you guys :super: just adding my :2cents:

When I PC'd my 1/2 pint jars (stacked two high), with synthetic filter disks, I didn't use a foil cover...  The top jars was bone dry on the surface of the lid. However; the bottom jars were soaking wet on top. I attribute it to condensation dripping down from the separation rack and top jars...  I plotted dry with a paper towel, then wiped down with alcohol... Seem to be fine :smile:

So how many runs, at the most, through the PC, have you put the EZ-Felt material and, have you noticed any change in pore size the more and more it runs through the PC?

So far I'm pretty damn happy with this 'sticky' felt stuff..
At first, I thought it'd restrict GE with the extra layer adhesive, but it seems to breath just fine for me
Haven't been taking any precaution at all,

.....the sticky side seems to repel liquid




Bottom line? :super:
GE seems on point, fully colonized (water-logged with weak GLC)
4oz cake in 9 days ain't bad at all.

..and no contams after I basically asked for them

I soaked that 4 oz, growth should have been slow if
anything and contam risk high, but performed surprisingly great


I'd say this stuff's pretty legit guys :hatsoff:







I'm glad your getting fabulous results! :whoo:

The great thing about a community is all the feedback and evolution of techniques/materials.

great job on adding to this :headbang3:
I'm getting some sticky felt soon and will try it on my mono's:plot::hehehe::uptosomething::naughty:

Well I have been using this for 9 or so months now
and if I had to guess how many times a filter had been cycled through the PC
I would guess 30 or 40 times without a single sign of deterioration.

My thoughts are, since it is polyfil that has been ironed out into a mat and is a synthetic material,
I treat it as a synthetic filter disk with a polyfil melting point and characteristics.

I could see this stuff lasting quite a long time and on par with a vendor sold SFD.
In any case the cost simply rules out any concerns,
I would gladly pay a couple of dollars every couple of years
to replace them if that was the case. These are just my thoughts and
everyone is different and has different preferences/concerns/tastes.


I'm Glad everyone is liking the material so far,
I haven't had any neg responses from anyone I have given this stuff too.

i used this on two jars to test it out.

I dont think it would be a good replacement for polyfil in a mono. But excellent for filters on jars.

Yeah your probably right...
I'll stop using them immediately and hopefully nobody uses them
on there mono's, they might end up with crappy results like this:







Thanks for your input and scientific explanation of why you think
this Tek isnt a good replacement for use of polyfil in a mono
it is greatly appreciated and the community thanks you for your
rigorous research and feedback:super: More drive by wisdom ....:noob:

How do you adjust the breathe-ability? I like the variable thickness aspect of polyfil. Do you glue the felt to the tub? If so, how do you adjust for varying conditions?

Hope you dont mind but I broke the question into parts
Hope I can help clear things up a bit and I hope
I didnt sound too short with ya, Just a bit :crankdre: today...lol:heart:

Barakanaten said:

heres my setup

hopefully you can glean some good info from it:super:

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 :popcorn:

:mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow::mushroomgrow:


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.





Quote:

winged_1 said:

what do you like about it?
All I ever hear is people trying to pull it as far out as they can and pack
it as loosely as possible to provide max FAE, so much so everyone
always says they have it so far out that it falls out...lol

The same adjustments can be made with a lil bit o gorilla tape
Seeing how the filter is inside the mono.:grin:






Quote:

winged_1 said:
Do you glue the felt to the tub?




Yep, with silicone. I place the filter on the inside of the mono.

Barakanaten said:


Construction

well it's all in the name, It's Easy!

Items of note*

*That crazy looking drill bit is whats known as a "1/2 inch Forstner Bit" It will make smooth holes without any burrs.




Mono Sized Disks

This size and method used is for 64qt Standard Mono using 2" holes

Use the Ring this time and trace out your Easy Disks

winged_1 said:

you can use tape,
Same way as you would adjust a SGFC.
Put a piece a tape over part of the hole or over the whole thing.

Azurescens89 said:
just one piece of felt? Would that be allowing too much FAE? I suppose one could put a double piece of felt...






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





Quote:

Azurescens89 Said:

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.






Quote:

Barakanaten said:
1 layer of felt is all I use, you may use more if you wish:grin:

I don't add, subtract or adjust.

1. build the mono

2. spawn to bulk and wait 15 days

3. put into fruiting.

:mushroomgrow:

If you want to cover the holes with tape during colonization you can do that as well.

Oh ok. Yea i like the ability to have polyfil tight or almost falling out if needed. It looked like a set, unvarying filter. Which i saw as good and bad. The temps and humidity fluctuate some much where i live i need to adjust everyday. But it looks like you've had good sucess with it. Im gonna pick some up this weekend and try it on some jars and eventually a mono :smile:

It is, but you can put a piece of tape on to reduce FAE
or go "Au natural" to increase FAE...lol
When I peek in to check on the monos they
always have water droplets on the inside
and a clear unmistakable path, that the FAE leaves,
you can actually see where/How the FAE is moving.

I guess in order to gauge the path/amount
I just try some Polyfil and see if there is a difference.


When you give it a whirl let us know how it turns out.:sunny:

Am I missing something?  Wouldn't it be better to have the ez-felt on for colonization and loose polyfill for fruiting?
