Can I fruit directly from WBS?
    #2183567 - 12/16/03 06:26 PM (20 years, 4 months ago)

I have two quarts of z-strain WBS, and four pints of mazaptec, all fully colonized. My problem is that I'm low on cash and don't have all the myco stuff I need for casing the way I want to (HEPA, fogger, ductwork, grow trays/bins, etc..), so is there a way I can fruit directly from the substrate? I have two large rubbermaind bins right now that are about 3'x2'x1' (one's got a few cakes but I can chronic tek them).

Could I maybe empty them out (one is terrarium, other is incubator) and fill them up with plastic trays of WBS with a little coir on top?

Hmm, my problem was space and fanning. I forgot about my incubator bin til now, and maybe I could fan and moisten the normal way for a little while.

Thanks...

you can stick them in the rubbies as cakes and they will fruit. i doubt the wbs and coir thing will work but i could be wrong. if you try to fruit them as wbs cakes you will still need the humidity and air circulation ( fanning )  - good luck :grin:

p.s.- go buy some vermiculite at lowes ( $3-$4 ) and some peat moss ( $3- $4 ) and case them and just make sure the humidity is high and that they get air circulation and they will be fine

straight coir is a better casing media than peatmoss and verm could ever hope to be.
so go ahead and just case with the straight coir.

You can fruit the grain - but as some have said, it may be a slight waste of grains.

WBS cake that performed similar to BRF... after it flushed, it was than busted up and used as spawn.


peace
