Yeah I've got another 24 on the way, unfortunately different stages of growth so I can't just throw them all in the massive mono I built. Are yours on a similar schedule or are they varying?

Cool, I would recommend minibulking one of those cakes (no need to consolidate) and fruit the other two. Just for your own self comparison. My tray fruited way before my cake even though they were birthed on the same day. Then, knowing what you do now and probably having a much higher success rate with this next round of jars, you will have some options on what you want to do with all of them. I have a bunch coming in so I'm really eyeing this mono... But I wouldn't have felt comfortable doing a mono without first having seen how a bulk works.

This is how big a tub I'm talking- it's intimidating. Maybe I should just mak a smaller one for now.

Dude I love the tub! And I also love that beer! It's a sign from God that you need to go for it.

Ooooo it frieghtens me though. I have 15 cakes that will be ready in 4 days max. The tub would hold approx 50 half pints (max) I do have some WBS going too, but would take much more time (and I need a bigger PC) and I already don't know what to do with all of my cakes. My 1:6 and 1:12 experiments are going well, and 15:50 is better than 1:6... And I have hpoo Verm and coir... I just don't want to be out a ton of cakes if it goes wrong but I've got my sterile technique down pretty well... I don't know if I'm good enough to pull it off is the only thing... I dunno convince me one way or the other, lol

first you have to send me a free paining, then crumble and case your cakes. I would just go to grains and skip all that bs cake stuff

if a tub starts pinning 2 days after spawning I'd suspect something foul is going on..

Not sure if this was directed towards me but it was not after spawning, after fruiting.

oh. how long did colonization take then? 1:6/12 rate.. should expect the cake to fruit earlier..

Just crumble one (or two) cake(s) up and mix it with whatever pasteurized sub you want- I used hpoo/verm into this size tray (1:6 or smaller) and watch it go.
And yes I do agree that grains spawned to bulk is better but he might as well make the most of his cakes and get a feel for bulking- it is intimidating.

Spawning to first pin (which is when I switched all of my trays to fruiting conditions) was 10 days for the 1:6 and 13 days for the 1:12. I have limited space so I was experimenting with leap frogging them.

Check restaurant supply stores. You /might/ be able to get one from a hardware store.
I was lucky, I have a molecular biologist friend who hooked me up with one along with 6 Petri dishes, 2 forceps, and a scalpel with 2 blades, oh and some Surgical masks (for SAB work).

Ok here's an update on all I'm doing an my failures and small success lol. My first try I didn't have a PC and I half assed everything. All my research and effort and money for nothing.
 6 failed jars! I cleaned em out bery well and got rid of the nasty smelling brf. Worst smell ever btw. Now they are sterile for nextime!
Here's my 3 surviving jars. I put 2 above my fridge and the 3rd in my laundry room because it has that same stink. Ill never forget that smell so now at least I know the smell of contams lol. The 2 above my fridge are doing ok well one is the one on the left has that smell but is still growing so I dunno. The one on the right is my champion he's nicknamed the weeknd and I sarande the jar with music he's named after. He has no stink.


I also nocked up some popcorn just for fun when I got my new PC but I was to excited and forgot to let it cool before I nocked it up. But behold there's growth. The only GT spores that worked lmao and it was an accident wow.

Here's my 12 newbs I PC'd them and let them sit for a couple days and they smell perfect so I'm glad I got the PC and I think I may have done it rite!!

But I also PC'd these jars of 1 brf and a mini brf case and a WBS jar with felt as a filter. And they all have that nasty smell and the WBS is visably molding. So I did something wrong on these but I'm happy my 12 new brf jars are ok. Ill rinse and try again with the WBS .
