Easier than cakes 2

I thought I would share how I test my isolates and spawn. It's super noob friendly and although I recommend new growers start with cakes and a sgfc, this is stoopid simple.
Take a colonized pint, or half pints or whatever small jar you have, break them up and case with 1/2 to 1 inch prepped coir.
Make sure you have a deep tupperware but no worries when your mushies reach the top, we will just lightly drape a piece of Saran wrap over the top making somewhat of a "tent", I believe RR or Agar used to show a grow that used a plastic fruiting tent.
This isn't meant as a replacement for a proper fc but for tiny personal amounts it works fine and uses readily available stuff at the house.
I use a plastic container that is 8-9in diameter and like 6-7in deep.
Keep the top on for spawn run, I cracked the lid for a sec or two every day or two. Once you reach full colonization, leave the lid askew.
The idea being air displacement. Humid air rises and when it leaves through the crack at the lid it is replaced by fresh air that hangs out until it is humid enough to rise and so on and so on.
Just don't employ this in a super drafty room.

No fanning, no misting, I do pour a bit of water in when it starts pinning, let it sit an hour or two and pour out but that's just me.

See? Stupid simple.

Why not just do a mini mono or something if you're gonna take the time to prep coir

To each his own. Dedicating a tub for one, in 3-4 days I'll be back to using this to store food.

cool idea. i use small buckets of coir for testing, similar idea, except i put holes in mine so its set and forget. urs looks like it has pretty mild upkeep tho. ill have to try casing straight grains in a bucket.

Yeah upkeep is null. Top on for colonization, top askew for fruiting

I'm going to bump this since I've seen so many milk jugs, heaters, and super ghetto fc ideas lately.

I like this idea. I could see doing this if I wanted to get a few spore prints without making a full scale grow.

Funny I just did this same thing...
Well sorta, I actually spawned to some coffee, with a little verm to soak up some moisture. Im working nights and don't have time to stop just yet for Eco.

This is cool tho, I didn't know you could just crumble cakes and case directly. I thought they had to be spawned to a sub.
This is just two days of growth tho, so not too shabby.
Very cool!

You can case em or just mini spawn to bulk. Coir isn't REALLY a casing so it would make little difference if you just mixed it or used it as a casing. I chose casing to help maintain rh in such a small container with such small surface area and no other source of humidification.
Plus my home was dry as hell.
I didn't show the plastic wrap but you can search "humidity tent" for a general idea of the concept.

This is awesome.
I was planning on doing something like this -- just to get started as a noob and get my feet wet. I bought a lot of little containers like that so I can try isolated attempts.
Thanks man!

why don't you look around and read the rules first. you would then know there's a identification forum. and easier ways to ask your questions than in completely unrelated places.

cool idea! would be perfect for stealth grows.
Can u use dark-colored tupperware with a clear top? Would that work as well?

Hey
Question: Bout to crumble a cake to a container to pursue this.
Do I need to sterilize my receiving tub? I gave it a good soak and scrub with some dish soap. Figured that'll do it.
