2nd flush picked off one cake

Here's the other cakes

This is the BRF spawned to coir/verm

When i took the substrate out the jar it was dry, is that normal for pasturizing?

i let it cool overnight and i squeezed it hard and only a few drops came out. When i put it in the jars it was at field capacity so i dont know what happened.

Well i just checked the little bit of sub i had left in the bottom of the jar and a little stream came out then stopped. The top of jar was prob just a little drier than the bottom.

i had trouble with this when i started bulk. field capacity is hard to describe, varies from person to person. when i squeeze, is that the same as u squeezing? u know what mean? the bottom of jar will always be more wet because as its pasteurizing the water sinks. mist it in middle of spawning (its ok for mist to touch ur grain spawn), or mist it right after a COUPLE times, not much and mix it around. water used for misting/dunking grains does not need to be sterile, just faucet. keep in mind, its better to have a drier sub than a wetter one. when i squeeze medium, 6-10 drops come out. when i squeeze hard, a stream will flow out and stop after 7-10 seconds, i know that SOO subjective, but its the only way i can describe it. if it fails or only gets one flush (i doubt it will, just use ur intuition) u will do better next time. i failed many times before, and so have many others. its ok, u r learning. i STILL fail, Trusted Cultivators still fail, commercial growers still fail. u have a good attitude and willingness to learn. u still have a cakes to fall back on. onward and upward my friend! I'm going to bed now, just got home from my 3rd shift. so i won't reply if u post after this...ill get back to u upon awakening! i wish u success!

I'm going to mist it just to be safe and thanks for all this help. I love learning new ways to cultivate and getting hands on experience. Also i have 12 jars of tc colonizing now so this little bulk is just an experiment. Also i dont know why nubes rush into bulk, these cakes give you and idea of how mycellium/fruits work. I could give 2 shits less if i grew 2 grams of shrooms or 2 ounces. I just love growing and learning.

i know man me too!! just a word of caution...be very very careful with those lc's is they are from an ms spore syringe. the problem with them is u cannot see any con tams that may be growing in there, like u can with jars. so if u use one and shoot up several jars, all those jars may become contaminated. most ppl on this forum will not advocate lc's because of this. i still use them also, but i make them with a clean agar wedge. even then, it is dangerous, what if the needle i flamed did not completely sterilize or the injection port i stuck the needle into had some bacteria on it? im glad u are expanding ur horizons, don't get me wrong, just be careful not to waste the whole syringe on those lc's! do you have a Still Air Box? also, i recommend starting a journal. its really helping me keep track of my stuff, better note taking, having others critique what i am doing kinda thing, or u can start a grow log, which is public, and ends up on the board every time u or someone else posts (journals do not end up on the boards) and keeping urself busy with a bunch of different things not only helps u learn, but keeps u busy and not wondering about 3 jars for weeks and weeks, like a lot of noobs will do.

ohh you got me all wrong i said Tc as in Treasure coast not Lc. I totally agree with you on lc, i feel like it's to risky for me to even try my hand at it. Also i have another thread with the progress of those jars (it's under Treasure coast beefed up in mushroom cultivation) if you want to take a look at that. Thanks for the precaution at lc's. I'd rather take the advice from someone who actually tried it and not speculation you know.

It's all good man. Agar wedges seem pretty legit, Do you make them?

haha I've been thinking about getting a hot plate and a pc (my stove is glass top) to step up my game. I want to do wbs with a coir/verm/gypsum substrate to spawn to in a monotub. But i want to finish up with these cakes before i start worrying about that. Do hot plates pasturize well, like a lab grade hot plate?

okay cool i'll most likely buy a electric stove since they'd probaly be better than a hot plate.
