Hey all, sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy.Anyways my first grow was succesful. It was a very good wxperience watching the fungus grow from spore, to mycelium to fruit body. I'm actually going to get a microscope shortly and take mycology. Anyways, I'm doing a mono tub next. I don't have a pressure cooker so I will have to use half pi t Brf cakes as spawn, with coir and peat moss. I will update everynow and then, I can't get the supplies until gram sends in christmas money :3 happy holidays everyone

good luck! I used 10 1/2 pint brf cakes as spawn for two PE Monotubs. They been in fruiting for a little over 12 days now. Everything is just great so I'm sure you won't have problems.

somehow my one brf-to-bulk went sour although I had the cheapest meat thermometer ever that wasn't even quite calibrated right, I imagine I didn't pasteurize properly, but I have also heard that coir is incredibly contam resistant regardless... 2 half-pint cakes to a quart of coir/verm (1:2) ended up with a shitty smell and hardly any colonization after a week
sounds like some of you guys have great success with brf-to-bulk though. maybe I'll just be more careful next time with pasteurization...

didn't dunk my cakes at all... do you mean that you dunk cakes (24 hrs?) and then break/shred up and spawn to bulk afterwards?

I would look at the spawn in this case, I guess I figure coir is invincible

see that's what I thought one cake had consolidated for maybe 4 days while the other finished full colonization... didn't think that was a problem though. smelled/looked fine other than that...
