Hey evil!! You told me to read this the other day and iv read it a few times since to farmilurize it when i start my grow and the one part that keeps catching me is this. "Now that your chamber is built you can start the process of birthing your cakes. Take your cakes that have been 100% colonized and consolidated for 7 days to a clean counter top and follow the step below" Do you mean after they colonize accaly leave them sit on a counter for a few days!! Otherthan that, most useful/helpful guid out there!! Much abliged

After your cakes have reached 100% colonization leave them inside the jar to consolidate for 1-2 weeks. After this time you are ready to birth your cakes, by taking them to a clean counter top and following the rest of the steps.

Thanks guys, glad to see this article helping out so many different people on their journey of growing edible and medicinal mushrooms.
This is just my take on an old established idea and method, I tried to cover everything that I as a noobie had questions, doubts and concerns about.
R.I.P PF, may your legacy live on through your lifes work brother.

Your guide and the RR Videos were a great resource for my first grow. Very easy to understand, and you anticipated the many questions along the way.
My cakes finally started pinning this week.
Big Thanks EM!
And Thank You Robert McPherson for the knowledge you passed on.

Stupid Question Time:
Hi EvilMushroom and whoever else is reading this. I have been using this wonderful tek for a few months now with much success and I have recently acquired some synthetic filter discs for some grain jars. My question is whether it is ok to use SFD's on PF jars and whether I still need the extra verm filter layer on top? I assume it is ok to use SFD's and that I do not need the verm filter layer but I just wanted to check in case there is something I have overlooked, like SFD's might retain too much moisture or provide not enough/too much gas exchange or a million other possibilities.....
Dunno if this should be included in the tek but I thought I should ask here first
Cheers

HEAD TO DESK. wish I thought to ask this 8 hours ago. I was so gung-ho to use the new lids I made I didn't even think about the verm layer. they are still sitting in the PC since they finished Cooking at 1am, but damn! I guess if the answer when I wake up is no verm , I will have to scrape it off and re-PC?
I knew things were going to well.

I have used filter discs for cakes without a verm layer before, but keep in mind to inoculate them I lift the lid and place an agar slice onto the top of the cake under laminar flow. Filter discs will provide enough gas exchange for your cakes if you use the same metal lid with four holes, but my concern would be inoculation as you do not want to puncture the disc. What you could do is silicone a small circle of filter disc over a 1/4" hole, and then have 4 smaller holes filled with silicone for inoculation.

The verm layer acts as a filter, it should be fine regardless.

Very excellent tek for beginners. Although I haven't touched cakes in years.. I think this is probably the single best, most concise and straight to the point PF tek I've seen. Covers all the angles and is simple and easy to understand. I know you're not reinventing the wheel here, but it's very well put together
Well done sir
