Light: CFL, compact flouro light. Just a 12+watt one. Preferable in the 6500k range.

Never use hydrogen peroxide unless you have cobweb mold. Water for perlite.

Dunk the cakes and roll in dry verm (so it sticks) then put the cake in and mist the hell out of it and the fruiting chamber and perlite. Then mist occassionally when fanning. Perlite will lose moisture, misting will help replace it.

PF tek only requires 90 minutes of boiling max, probably could do less. No harm in oversterilzing though.

Growth that quick is not always a good thing, can be mold. Next time use 1 cc of spores only.

Good luck!

thanks for posting! I have read on other tek's that say more cc's per jar will just speed up the growth. I think this is what has happened. The mycelium has no odd colors, its completely white, and its not growing fast enough to be cobweb mold.(which should overtake a jar in 1-2 days). Is there a mold that looks like healthy mycelium?

Many molds look like healthy mycelium. Its only the spores that are different colors. I'm not saying it is mold. I'm just saying, mold grows fast and can look normal.

More spores also means more genetics, which means more of not knowing whats gonna pop up.

FYI: I stole all my pix off google! F+ PORN! Here is a shit-ton of porn by yours truly!

I have FINALLY written up a couple teks as to how SHP has done things in the past. DISCLAIMER: This is not for the newbie to mycology, and not going to work for everyone! This is simply what works for one person when other teks and methods have failed miserably!
~~~~~How SHP does their unconventional WBS Prep!! (NO DRY METHOD)~~~~
~~~~~SHP's highly disputed method of doing ALL their work outside of a flow hood or a Still air box!~~~~~
~~~~~Troubles harvesting the side and bottom pins in your mono? Learn how!! Dunking included ;-)~~~~~
