Question for those who have watched RR's Let's grow mushrooms.
    #21831352 - 06/20/15 05:31 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

So there are 4 clips from the video free on YT.

Are these 4 clips the full instructions on how to grow mushrooms BRF PF TEK?

Are these 4 clips all I need to know?

I'm umsure, thanks.

They are a little unclear on exactly how much water you need to add, and also about misting.

There is some good information on here about those two topics, and anything else that needs clearing up through the search function.

I will roughly outline those two, which confused me a bit at first.

First of all, you want to add enough water to bring the mixture to a fluffy airy state. When you squeeze it really hard only a few drops should come out, I made the mistake of adding too much water since it didn't seem moist, but it definitely is with a 2:1:1 mixture.

Next, the water regimen. Water enough to make the cakes MOIST but not soaked, or dry. Fan only after watering, and 3 times a day light misting seems to do well. If they are especially dry mist a touch more than normal.

Buy a cheap light fixture from a hardware store, and a 6500k CFL light to put in it for fruiting.

Just leave the jars out in the open, not in an area with stagnant air, ambient light is helpful for growth.

And finally FOLLOW the Tek! You will be successful. Sterile technique is extremely important, micropore tape over the inoculation points on your jar is not necessary if you have a good layer of dry VERM. Sterilize with a torch in between each jar, if you use a lighter pay extra attention to literally light that needle up orange! Do not wipe the needle with alcohol after sterilizing it, if you have some verm in the tip of the needle, wipe it then flame it. Also, .25ml per hole for a total of 1ml per jar seems to be the magic number of spores. Make a cheap still air box out of a tote from wally world, or inoculate in a VERY clean small room/bathroom. If you use the bathroom, give it a nice spray with disinfectant before you start. Gloves, and masks are a REALLY good idea.

I hope this helps you avoid some of the novice mistakes I made during my first PF Tek! Good luck

1:39 minutes into the first video.....1 cup brf, 1 cup water, 2 cups verm.....sounds pretty exact to me....

And all you have to do is keep the verm you rolled the cakes in moist....thats the first thing he says in the last video.....

Let me rephrase that, I mean it is unclear because of varying opinions from other members on what exact ratio is best. A lot of members suggest adding more water if it doesn't seem right, with the really fine VERM I had it didn't seem right, but I didn't give it a squeeze like a noob to see how much was actually in it. As far as misting goes, the definition of moist was a crap shoot of a description to me.

Overall the Tek works, but if you dig too much into details like me it will bite you in the ass. Don't modify anything thinking it will work out better your first time basically!

How exatcly is a noob supposed to know if it "doesn't seem right"?

There isn't one TC on here who would suggest anything other than a 2-1-1 ratio for brf cakes, and very few reputable growers would either.............that is exactly what any PF Tek calls for.....you do not use the squeeze test for BRF, that's just for bulk substrates, to check for field capacity......field capacity for cakes would be WAY too wet.....you should get NO water to drip when u squeeze the mixture...period.
