How can you call it novelty? V-Tek performs with a little practice.
even when it performs it's still just a cup of shrooms

A simple, efficient cup at that. I can use em as is, g2g, or spawn to bulk. I like the options. Scale up if tho if ya want multiple cups of shrooms. Different strokes for different folks though.

I just use 6 quart shoe boxes they're BIG pp5 cups.
I can add grains AND a bulk substrate AND case it rather than just cased grains,
It's rectangular so they actually fit more substrate into a fruiting chamber more efficiently and they hold water better giving you most of your yield on the first 2 flushes rather than spread out among 5+ flushes.

and in my experience it's less workload and less hassle.

Its the multiple flushes that turn me off. I would much rather get my fruits from 2 or maybe three flushes. I hate harvesting and don't want to drag it out any more than necessary.

24 of them fit on one mini martha rack. 10 will yield ~7 ounces. I was going to get the 6qt shoeboxes for my gh but pp5's are roughly the same price if you factor in the many potential uses. pp5's also do not need the 2 week recolonization period, so one could factor that in the multiple flushing schedule. With all that said, don't matter how ya grow if it works for you.

I like the convenience of one tub, as opposed to cleaning and prepping multiple containers. the little pp5 cups are the equivalent to doing brf cakes imho, a lot of extra work, but like you said, everyone has their own way of doing and enjoying things, that's what makes this such a colorful community.

I made a batch of dishes up 2 weeks ago when I started. Half I used for the initial germination and half for now. I have just transferred 8 wedges from Thai cubes and 3 from Psilocybe cyans. Both mycs where non-defined and chaotic, is this normal?
The agar is almost solid. Am I close to getting this right?
How long before I should see growth and then how long b4 transfer.
I understand the string length theory but roughly.

I'd rather have 6 large trays that fill up a shelf than 130 little cups that require daily bottom watering. That's just me though, if it works for you, then why change anything.

 pp5's are probably the stealthiest method if ya need them to be. I could disassemble a full martha within minutes if need be. Instead of multiple trash bags filled heaps of bulk sub, it would just be one bag (depending on the op) that you could throw some sauce and other garbage shit in to make it look natural. 150 containers easily fits in one laundry bag. Try doing that with glass. Landlords, depending on the state are required by law to give 24 hrs notice unless other wise noted in the lease agreement. Bulk is hardly stealth, and does not really have the options to become stealth like pp5s do.
And I think he means if you're not going to trash all of your grows, then dealing with 6 big objects is easier than dealing with 130. If you can carry two at a time, that's 3 trips to your hiding spot with trays and 65 with pp5's.

Hey boys,
not to break up the pissing contest between growing a lot of mushrooms in one big space
or a lot of mushrooms in a bunch of tiny spaces...
but this is KSSS plate B inoculated by agar wedge 4/9
to shake or not to shake?

put the lids on em. Put em in a laundry bag. place them accordingly. I would say a capped container is a bit easier to deal with then 6 large trays. I am not here to say one method is better than the other. I am here to say that pp5's are far more then novelty, and are very accommodating.

yea dude, im not trying to criticize the way u grow. i don't advocate any special style of growing, i just advocate that people grow  and yea i know the 24 hr notice thing. doesn't always work that way. its also a little incriminating when u say don't come up when thy knowing on ur door. monos i can quickly put into my closet in 1-2 minutes. martha full of pp5's, no. if u say u can dis assemble urs in minutes, i don't doubt u, i just know i woulnt be able to do that. i also work two jobs, and pp5's are a bit much maintenance for me. i have tried them, just wasn't my cup of shrooms.

I'd give it a little more time. I usually don't shake until at least 25%
