Go for a 66qt tote, fits 12 cakes comfortably. Wal-Mart has 23qt presto pcs for like $70. Well worth the investment for when you move from cakes to monos, cuz everyone eventually does lol
Nice. I'm gonna do 4 of each strain then and ill get a bigger fc. Screw th pressure cooker I can get a pot so big it can feed the navy for 30$ lol so seems like my best choice

you can't sterilize in a pot you need a pc for that

Ok so I took back the small PC and got a huge pot with a rack in it I couldn't find micropore tape so I got paper tape it says gentle and breathable will it work? And I got 2 more bags of perlite. I think I'm ready now !

The tape should work, I'm pretty sure it's almost the same as micripore tape. Just make sure to use a couple layers. Its only added precaution anyways. The pot will work for the pf tek but if you get into grains you will need a pc. You may need more perlite yet lol. 5" is ideal, dump the bags out into the tub and take a measurement and see where your at with depth. Shallow depths of perlite will not provide enough humidity for your chamber

Thanks man. Ok I'm gonna pour the perlite to measure it tonight after work. I'm also gonna start drilling holes in the fc and in the jar lids. Gettin stuff ready. Should I drill 4 noc holes or 2 and can I put the tape on em as soon as the holes are made or should I wait untill I'm putting the substrate in & should I drill a shitload in the fc or just a couple on each side ? Lol I'm asking every possible question there is. I'm Being very thorough I want to do this perfectly no screw ups so I'm reading everyday and looking at multiple different ways and taking alot of advice. Shroomery is the best!!

Drill 4 inoc holes in the lid and tape em before adding sub, the tub should have 1/4" holes every 2" apart on all 6 sides. Inoc through the tape once sterilized and cooled to room temp and you can just add another piece of tape over the holes from the needle

If a add tape after I inoculate won't that risk contamination touching the tape and the tape being out and not being sterile?

I cut out the middle of mine, covered with Saran Wrap, then heated up a nail head to make holes in it in the same 2" grid

Those big black pots are great. I have 2 that I now use for bulk substrate preparations.
Like PinPornProducer said when you decide to upgrade to grains you will need a PC.
Also, do you plan to construct a still air box, SAB?
