hi guys, ive recently inoculated my first cakes and im seeing good mycellium growth. I was just wondering, if my cakes are successful and fruit, about giving monotubs a go. I can get hold of a tub easy enough, but its the substrate etc i think i will struggle with. Can anyone from the UK give me a list of products I will need to give this a go?
Cheers

Hello buddy whereabouts do you live?? Do you have an infinity foods nearby??
I use gluten free rice flour from Infinty, rye grain from Infinity (always love the "wow that's a lot of rye, what do you use it for?" question )
you acn get perlite and vermiculite 10l for £5 from B+Q - I assume there will be one fairly near you live? Otherwise you can order from the net but B+Q is the cheapest you can get.
You can get a pressure cooker from Argus either in store or online.
Thats about it I think!
Oh wait - jars.... if you need jars for cakes I use "bonne marie" jam jars from Sainsburys - perfect for pint jars for rye I use Sainsburys 26p a litre jar curry sauce 

any other quesitions let me know

IMO buddy you should fruit the cakes into an SGFC and knock up some rye to spawn to bulk 
I've spawned cakes to bulk with mediocre results - would have been better just to fruit them in the shotgun

I think I have heard of people having a difficult time finding rye berries in the uk. I can't remember. Well either way wild bird seed works great for grain spawn as well and it is cheap. You want the kind that doesn't have a bunch of sunflower seeds and corn in it

500g rye berries from infinity foods - £1.09 in store.
Otherwise - http://www.healthysupplies.co.uk/infinity-foods-organic-rye-grain.html from the internetswebs
