Plan on using this tek for my first grow! It should be started in a week or two and I hope to be able to take enough pictures to make a grow log. Thank's so much for the awesomely formatted tek Shea. Also, at what comfort level do you think its a good time to move on to bulk montotubs. I was thinking after one or two PF grows I could make some clones and start spawning to bulk but maybe that's not the best idea?

You can if you want, but if you want the best results, dunk the cakes for 24 hours and roll them in dry verm.
Mushrooms are 90% water.....do not deprive them of what they need.

When it comes to pf tek, why can't you use one giant jar and create one giant cake to fruit? Even if it takes a while to colonize, wouldn't it be worth it?

no because it won't colonize, gravity is abitch and it becomes a very compact sub that myc can't colonize, the jar should be as tall as it is wide for best performance

Ok so this is my first time growing and I inoculated two days ago using this tek. I just went and checked my jars and i noticed that the dry vermiculite layer on top has reduced to about a quarter of an inch. Is this normal? Should I add more or possibly the cover the holes to prevent contamination?

Wait, what? Like the thickness of the layer shrank? Are you sure? You'll see less of the layer when you put the ring on since it blocks it. Nothing should shrink at all.

Yeah I'm sure. I had a full half inch of dry all the way to the rim of the jar before sterilization and now its no longer to the rim

Hmm, does it look wetter than before or wet? I'd just leave it alone and let it colonize.

It sounds like it might not have been sterilized properly, like water got into it during the process. Did you steam them in a pot or use a pressure cooker? Did you use foil on top?

I used a pot. I didn't notice this during the inoculation but that doesn't mean it wasn't like this.

Ok, well I would advise you not to worry about it and just leave the jars alone. If you have more questions, feel free to make your own thread. Lots of people around here are experienced with PF Tek!
