simple question about plastic tek
    #19366570 - 01/04/14 01:06 AM (10 years, 27 days ago)

In the plastic tek instructions there is no mention of adding the dry vermiculite layer on top of the cake to better prevent contamination. And the instructions recommend shaking the cakes to speed up colonization. Will it be harmful to the mycelium if I shake it to speed up colonization even though I have the dry vermiculite layer on top?

You will need that dry layer of verm to protect from contams whether they mention it or not. Either that or you can use an actual filter like SFD's. Also you would not even be able to shake a BRF jar and even if you could you wouldnt want to because it would compromise the dry verm barrier.

I don't know what version of the tek you are referring to but it does not sound like a very good one. Check pf tek in the search engine.

If you are referring to the V tek, its probably because that tek is meant for grains not BRF. Hence no need for a dry verm layer.
