Using PF tek cakes for monotub
    #18770084 - 08/28/13 07:30 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

You can break down PF tek cakes with a cheese grader to replace WBS or Rye seeds correct??

If yes, then has anybody ever tried this method, if so, how did it work out for you??


I inoculated 6 jars of Rye and they took forever to colonize and I found out they contaminated, I think the pf tek cake method would work easier for me so i'm wondering how your guys's results were.

It works.

I have not done this personally, I use WBS as spawn, but it works just fine.

I would suggest properly pasteurizing your substrate material tho.

So you are more likely to get a contam using pf tek cakes then?

And since 1 quart = 2 pints

That means I have to use 20 half pint jars worth of graded up cakes to do Damions coir tek according to the ratio on his recipe?


Thank you for replying, I hope your mood goes from annoyed to something better soon.

I use this tek with whole brown rice as my grain http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15788207
when my jars are ready 
i crumble them and use as spawn to h-poo or coir in a mini mono tub
Your ratio dont have to be the exact same as in damions tek. Just try and shoot for a good ratio like 1:1 or 1:2 and get your sub depth at least 3 inches or more and before you know it and then

So you don't even put verm/gypsum in your jars??

Just pure brown rice??

Do you get better results that way?? And surely it must take longer to colonize right?

Wow cool thanks, so do you cover the 4 holes with tape since there is no top verm layer to protect from contams?? Can you go over the procedure that you do in terms of inoculating your WBR jars?

i don't make four holes just one about an 1/8 of an inch big right in the middle that i stuff with polyfill as a protective barrier.
If you enlarge the picture of my jars above you can see what im talking about.
i flame sterilize my needle one time, stick it right in the middle and shoot 1 cc.
To me this is better that way you don't have to flame your needle 4 times which lessons your chance of getting a contam.
