When it dries out. This will vary depending on how dry your area is, and how much perlite you use. I do mine at least once a week. Many people who don't live in a shitty area like me should get away with a month or more.

Should you clean it first before hydrating? I've read that you can bake it or even put in a bleach solution.

I just left mine in the FC, filled it up with water and mixed it around with my hand. You could also dilute some bleach in water, and before the fc gets too full of water, dump it in, and keep swirling it around. Now...i know you're gonna say the fc is full of holes and the water will just leak out....but it won't. Especially if you use the mixed perlite....the smaller pieces will plug the holes long enough to hold water and give it a good stir.
Did it twice myself, in the bathtub, just didn't add the bleach.

Just take the cakes or trays out, toss it in the tub and run the shower over it. Rake up the perlite with your finger a bit and yer done. I wouldn't bother with bleach or the oven unless I had a major trich outbreak.

Hey peeps! What do you all think of my Brazilian cakes?? This has been my favorite strain so far and has had a great first flush! I've really enjoyed the PF tek cause of how fast it is but I am extremely eager for my grain jars to colonize!

I don't quite understand, lol :P Are you asking/begging for prints?? If so I have not felt completely comfortable with taking prints. I feel Agar would be the way to go to multiply and store strains. Starting from prints seems so easy though!! Am I just being to cautious?

What would be the best route after taking a print?? Syringe, Agar, LC?? I might as well take some prints tonight then. I'm only worried about contamination. If I were able to make syringes with success that would make me so happy  That stupid saying is stuck in my head. Something like, "If it doesn't grow in sterile air it will not be sterile."

well there never that clean anyway, we all fruit in open air(most of us v)just roll off a foot or soof the foil first and take your print, if your into agar fucking awesome, if you like syringes a quick test cake, fuck lc's for cubes/spores in general

Also I have a 36"x20" grow tent, url of exact one is below. Can I use this grow tent as a SAB? Of coarse I will have the vent holes tightly closed. If this will work well it would help alot.
