My Update, with PICS
    #15759503 - 02/04/12 09:37 AM (12 years, 11 months ago)

So here's an overview of what I have going on at the moment.



This is my newest fruiting chamber. I just filled it with perlite last night.

On the left is my biggest success so far. It's basically 2 BRF/verm cakes that were cased in peat/verm. I assumed it was a bust, but when I dumped it out I found pins. I didn't have room for it in my 1st FC, so I put it under a large Tupperware container and sprayed it very, very often. It's been producing small, but abundant mushies. I consider that entire thing to basically be an accident, and I'm amazed by how many mushrooms I've gotten from it.

On the right is something I just took out of colonization. It's colonized popcorn mixed with coir/verm. I gave it seriously like 3 weeks to colonize. I figured too much colonization is better than too little. Hopefully it explodes with pins. In the future, I am going to case BRF/verm cakes in coir/verm. I will actually start that in a few days because I have some Treasure Coast cakes that are almost ready.



My first FC filled with cakes, nothing too special.



Check out that fat bastard! My biggest mushroom yet!



My entire set up so far.

Ok, how do I resize pictures? I had to upload to imgur because shroomery wouldn't let me upload pics.

How far apart are those holes in your SGFC? Looks like you spent a good amount of time on it. :cool:

Get those fruiting chambers at least a foot or two off of the floor.

Are those 1/4" holes 2" apart? Looks like they are smaller holes.

Looking good!

Looks like your holes are too close together, but nice set-up! I need a bigger fruiting chamber too, since ive "upgraded" from cakes to trays.

Looking good!! :bender:

Thats sweet im just doing Pf tek its my first grow. I inoculated on the 15th i think (not to sure) but theyre still colonizing. It's pretty slow but i think condensation got in the jars during sterilization and thats just slowing growth alot in some jars.

I think ill do something similar to your grow here in my second attempt.
PF tek is really simple and if i did make mistakes I could easily correct them next time. anyways this seems to be going great for you, good luck dude.

Thanks for the love everyone!

I think they're 1/8th holes about a centimeter apart. I didn't measure, nor do I know the drill bit sized I used.

I have really high hopes for the tray. That will probably be my main grow method of choice for future projects, assuming all goes well.

I do have a shelf in my closet, so I may add a 3rd FC in the future. I would need a small ladder to get to it. But yeah, this should be enough to fill my mushroom needs. I guess I'll never technically have to make a monotub. I'm putting alot of faith in the coir trays, but we'll see.
