Making some minor changes to my procedures.
    #18801227 - 09/04/13 09:50 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

So, Ive been running into some inconsistencies as far as success goes when spawning to 5050 coir/verm. Now im determined to start looking at this with a more "mature" approach. So anyway... here goes

Im planning on spawning 6 quarts of albino aa+ colonized rye to a monotub, they are colonizing as we speak.

In the past i have been using the bucket tek, with not enough success for my liking. This time i am planning on pasteurizing in my pressure canner by using a digital thermometer and keeping the temps around 150-160f for about an hour or an hour and a half. How does that sound so far?

Next is the monotub style itself. Right now im using a 66qt sterilite with 6 holes on each side with micropore tape covering it. Is micropore tape good or should i be using polyfill? how large should the holes be? right now i have them at half an inch. Another thing on my mind is the idea of gas exchange during colonization. Should i perhaps put a piece of SFD over a hole in the top? Should i use a liner on the bottom, I have tried it before and it never turns out too neat, so i was thinking of just using some black ductape on the bottom outside of the tub?

As far as sterile procedure goes. lets just assume that my room has more than an ideal ammount of mold spores, despite my numerous cleaning attempts. How big of a deal is this with coir?

If anyone can recommend anything that will lower chances of contamination then im all ears, thanks for reading.

pasteurize for 1.5 hrs once you reach 140. I assume you read franks tek

use duct tape instead of micropore. You want a high co2 environment. The gas exchange will happen at the lid.

if you are confident your spawn is clean and you pasteurized correctly then you should be fine.

good luck

is micropore fine for FAE? i got some polyfill too, tape is much easier to cover the holes with from my experience.

No, micropore is not good for FAE.

Tape up the holes for colonization, then for fruiting remove the tape and stuff the holes with polyfil.

Bottom holes as tight as possible, top holes as loose as possible.

For anyone reading this and thinking, "Dang, micropore is not a good idea cause PussyFart said so"... well, turns out it does work. Here is an update: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23651523
