You can buy pre-made grain bags if you don't want to buy a PC. Otherwise some people say you can shred BRF cakes into a bulk, but I never had success with that.

5pints=2.5qts, you only have to do 2 PC runs to get enough grains for bulk, otherwise you can just stick to smaller trays or mini-tubs!

Hey man, people may come across mean, but that was never the intention.
You have had alot of responses on your situation.
Just because you don't like their answer does not mean they are being dicks. Take it with insight, not ignorance. You've been told how to do things if you want to. You also have this whole site to keep searching and reading.

I have noticed that people that work with mushrooms try to think people are stupid instead of thinking they have a valid question.
Nobody wants to tell you how to make bulk out of $20 because any which way you sound like you will get contams trying to be so cheap. Nobody wants to be blamed for contam methods they themselves are afraid to try.
If I were you I would invent a method and call it Boom Shiva Tek if it is a success

I'm only an "ass" because I was in the situation posting bullshit back-story to ask if I could do something the WRONG way. Then one day it hit me. If people are doing it this way I'm sure they have tried all of my dumbshit ways. Think about baking bread. I bet you couldn't just whip some up even though people have been doing it for centuries. If you don't want to listen to the people that have done it then why come here? People come here for a reason, usually being that they think the source is trustworthy, and then they want to make their own tek. Search though my old threads(I was a the one callings others dickheads before I learned) and you will see that you wont be so arrogant when you start wanting 4+oz flushes from you bulk tubs with MS inoculation. Make your own mistakes if you want but why dispute people who obviously have made those mistakes and are trying to have you avoid them. This community is your only hope since you wouldn't have a gram without them most likely, I know I wouldn't have.

If you honestly don't have the cash for a pressure cooker, you have every reason to be snappish. I know that when I'm that broke I act like a feral child, so I didn't think anything of it since I've been there (a month ago) and I acted out way worse than you did.
Your mountains of h-poo situation sounds wonderful, honestly. So you have that and another thing going for you: if you do hpoo/hay outdoors, you can get away with a much lower spawn/substrate ratio. It will be a serious pain in the ass making and grating up enough PF cakes to have a grow of any size, but you do what you can, right? And if you've never experienced the glory of grain, I have confidence it won't suck nearly as much for you as if you had.
Do what you gotta do, and get a PC when you can. When you combine a PC, this forum, and your living situation, it's going to be completely

Lingabhakt said: Namaste, I know: "Get a PC you cheap bastard". Well, I can't right now. Will when I can, but please don't give me the "cutting corners=cut results" rant. I get it, I really do, but it is what it is. So I wanna do a bulk grow spawned to either a monotub or a straw log, but the damn PCer is FUBAR & I wont be able to replace it anytime soon, so what are my spawn options? I was going to buy some spawn bags, but at the prices I seem to be finding them I might as well by a new PC. So work with me folks. Is the BRF PF tek my only option? & if so, what would be the best method (read: most successful) method to go from spore to spore, & what is the best substrate for PF cakes? Thanks Rudra
You could always go with grains and fractionalized sterilization. I wouldn't do.
If you are adamant on doing a bulk grow without a PC. Do PF cakes. Shred them with a cheese grater, and then spawn them do your bulk material. I'd stay away from straw with BRF.

No PC. I do have a food processor, though. Will that work better than a greater? I found a really good tek I think I'm gonna use. Let me know what yall think: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/723303/an/0/page/6

That's basically what most people are referring to. You don't have to follow that particular one though.
The basic idea is, because you don't have a PC, to use colonized cakes to spawn to pasteurized substrate. In your case, hpoo.
This is the recommendation, at least in part, because you don't need to have a PC to make cakes.

if your food processor is super clean I don't see why it wouldn't work but if I had both at my disposal I would still use the grater

It doesn't need to be super clean. He's going to take what he grinds up in that food processor and throw it in horse shit.

pasteurized horse shit. It's just a risk is all, if there's a food particle with trich already growing on it somewhere in that processor it's unnecessary to bring it into your bulk sub. Most food processors are neglected since they are a PITA to clean.

There's no need to pasteurize the horse shit for an outdoor grow, so being careful indoors is a waste of time and energy.

No. I'm doing indoors. I will clean my food processor very well, though. Not because I'm worried about the colonized cakes being over run, but because it's easy to be clean. Once I get everything up & running I will have to get a buddy to show me how to use a digital camera so I can upload some pics (another feat I will have to be taught). Believe it or not I'm just about computer clueless. Hell, I'm not even on a computer now. I'm on my PS3 (well, more my wife's than mine). I don't own a computer. We mostly got the PS3 for the Blu-ray player.

In your situation, unless you live in northern Canada, I'd really advise an outdoor grow. But if you decide to go indoors anyway, then bodhisatta is absolutely right: just make sure the food processor is clean and the poo is pasteurized by Frank's tek.

Clean your food processor as well as you would your fruiting tray/tub.
There are some who say the food processor damages the mycelium. I don't have an opinion. Just food for thought
