inoculated (8) PF BRF B+ jars on 1/19, am going to inoculate 8 more 1/27. So can I let the first round consolidate an extra week and try to birth both rounds at the same time in a SGFC or should I do them in separate FC's? Will doublestack cakes if I can birth all 16 in the same FC. 1st round am seeing quarter size myc in the 3 best jars, the rest are still small white dots (_) <--that size to dime size. Thanks!
Also, can someone give me a ballpark on when I can start a new round to replace the 1st round after it's done fruiting. Only have room to run two FC's. Here's my FC: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/garage/storageBagsBoxes?productId=10004320

yes you can consolidate for 2 weeks just make 2 fruiting chambers though, it's always handy to have them, i use to do mine every 3-4 weeks to cycle cakes

Why would you feel a need to birth one batch early or the other one late?
Birth the jars into the fruiting chamber as they're ready if you want best performance. There's no rule that says all substrates in a fruiting chamber have to be the same age. RR

Appreciate the response and what you've done for the shroomery community with all your help and knowledge you share with others. Well, I was looking to just buy 1 FC for now because I"m short on $ so I wanted to see if I could fit the 2nd batch in with the 1st batch even though there was an 8 day difference in time. I did a 2nd batch because I had very fine verm that I was afraid might not work after doing some searching here on shroomery and I also forgot to shake the syringe. There are 2/8 jars from the 1st batch that still have no signs of growth after 8 days, probably because of a lack of shaking idk. I followed your PF tek and built a replica glovebox with pvc fittings. The 2nd batch I mixed the medium verm with the very fine stuff.
I'm really pumped about this new hobby! I used to hunt them down in Florida. When I first started, I knew nothing about what I was doing but learned quite a bit on this forum. Am a noob to PF but have done a bunch of reading on here.
