Field capacity is just like 3-5 drops at your hardest squeeze. Its VERY easy to go too wet

Exactly. Too 'dry' > too wet...Too wet and you're shooting yourself in the foot slowing colonization times as well as giving contams an environment to thrive in.

Kinda like the painters motto of you can't go lighter but you can go darker, You can always add more water after colonization but you can't take it out after you mix

Is loose coco fiber the same as coco choir? In the store now a quick response would help. Texhnically theyre the same but is there a reason you use the bricks?

Went to pet co got 3 bricks for 10$ when 8 liters of fiber was 13$

So will i need to worry about humidity if i spawn to choir and verm like this in a pyrex dish and leave it on my counter in my room?

confused on how they need humidity in a sgfc but not here.

must be bacuase the choir gives them lots of water?

- will i need to case the substrate? it will either be outside or by my window which is usually open. The RH right now outside is 43% so should i case to keep in lots of moisture?

also when i put tinfoil over whatever container i use should i pop holes for FAE or big no no?

EDIT

So the plan is to use this tek --                http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11916595

i will do this because because i have only one half pint and i want to do a 1:4 ratio which will end in me having about 1.25 quarts of spawn (<---Goal)

He uses a brick of choir with 2 quarts verm so 8:2 = a  4:1 ratio  of choir to verm - i just need to make sure i keep this variable the same


i will divide the portions by 10 BECAUSE He used one brick of choir---- 1 brick = 7-8 liters = ~ 8 quarts. 8 / 10 = .8 quarts of choir mixed with 4:1 of verm = 1 quart of substrate

1 quart sub to 1 half pint = 4:1

Perfect

Will let everyone know how it goes

i bought this container

its the perfect size for the amount of sub ill have

Should i put the sub in with the lid on and mix in the colonized PF cake and mix it then let it colonize with the lid on? or add tin foil? and once i start seeing pins is it good to take the lid off and not worry about contams or once its fully colonized

Just mixed the choir/verm mix that pasteurized for 4 hours with the crumbled PF cake that was dunked for 20 1/2 hours. I used about 1 quart of sup to 1 cup of pf cake and added a top layer of choir
Will check next tuesday

just read through all this and something that stuck out to me was the guy saying field capacity was 3-4 drops at your hardest squeeze, thats way dry. that might be the level you want for your brf cakes but those are not 'field capacity' bulk sub should have a bit of water when you squeeze hard.

also you already spawned so you just have to wait but normally mold will not just go away from cutting the spot where you see it, if it was trich which spores green it also has white mycelium that could be in there with your cake.
