But on the other hand i did learn a few things...
1.BRF is not my thing  2.If i ever do BRF again which i know i will, cuz i like to experiment.. Break the cakes up fully. That's why they say crumble the cakes. Cake Crumbler level99. 3.Patience.. (I'll probably never learn that lol) 4. Only leave tape on trashbags during mixing your substrate and spawn then cut the tap so that the trashbag can stick to the myce and itll avoid side pins and shit.
See my casings at the bottom, all from BRF cakes so forget your #1, BRF is way easier to case.
yeah just a little more practice and its all about learning. So alteast next round ill know a little more.Quote:

 Look how thick this casing is so don't worry abouut 2-3 inches but my sub is fully colonized and popping threw, yours couldve used a lil more timebefore casing itQuote:
CaspuuuR said: Guys now I'm really upset I threw r out but the one pic you said you saw signs of Trich? Is that the last picture? That was the piece to the substrate puzzle that wasn't happy and I felt it taking that damn long to colonized eventually it'll get Contained. I also put way to much sub I feel like. It was 2-4inches but for the amount of mushroom spawn I had and I didn't break them up good enough it didn't seem like it was worth it. I spent like 20$ on the whole grow so it's all good. I guess... 
4th pic but its hard to tell, always wait even if it doesn't pin cause pins can take-4 weeks to start popping threw, don't worry about the sub amount IMO just keep it even for a nice pin set, the substrate is colonized and won't contam under normal conditions its the casing layer that must be pasteurized plus don't soak it down too much. I made a Mono the other day using 2 quarts of colonized Texas Yellow Cap Rye Berry, 1" of Verm + Gypsum on bottom, Crushed Rye Berry sub layed out even on top, then layed about an 1" of Peat Moss, Verm + Gypsum mixed on top. Then sprayed it down and covered for a few days now its ready to start fruiting I'll post up a pic. I threw away lots of shit in the beginning cause I thought it contamed or had way too many jars of brf , rye berries and grains so anything gave me a reason to throw shit out. I suggest using Out-Grows mushroom casing to learn, its like 3.50 a 1lb then make your own as u advance.Sorry I'm in a rush an haven't read your whole thread but good luck next time and hope this helps, later bro
Yeah thats a good idea to order their casing layer to see the moisture content and what not. The casing layer i was gonna use was jiffy mix or a peat,verm, type mix. and just past it like my coir/verm substrate.
The only thing that sucks about outgrow is that they charge hella high for shipping, spent 20$ on items and 17$ on shipping. why does a nigga need 17$ to handle plastic bags? And if i was to get that casing how long would it last in the package? and how much would 1lb cover.
Hells Yea whats up with Out-Grows shipping prices ya know? I mean Mikes been good to me an has given me mad free stuff like quart jars of Rye Berry yadi ya but his casing is just verm-peat-gypsum-an I think lime. Some people have bad results with it cause they steralize so much stuff not all things are as sterile, moisture content is off sometimes, if its too moist let it sit in a ziplock for a few days to week an dry up, use a fan? Best way to learn casing is follow the teks laid out by dudes that been doing this awhile. Maybe your coco coir wasn't sterilized enough in your mono? I don't rush as u see it took years for me to join this community before that I took mad notes so I have a full notebook on teks an what works, what doesn't, results etc.
