oh my lord, its not a boil its a piercing. I think this is the 3rd time I'm posting what that is on my girlfriends back in this thread. Although i can totally see the 'boil' if i wasn't into piercings. You can kinda start to see the outline of the other one on the edge of the picture.
I appreicate the advice on the tub though, what do you suggest I use as a liner? perhaps cut up some garbage bag? and 1 hole will be enough GE? would polyfill or athlete tape be better in this situation?

Yes a trash bag. No athletic tape will not work. Use micropore if you are putting tape on holes.

Micropore tape is also called "Gentle Paper Tape" in the first aid aisle...I over looked it the first time cause it sometimes only says "Micropore" on the inside of the roll...Garbage bags will definitely work, but even the thick ones tear too easy IMO...I invested in some thick, black, painter's plastic...like 3mil

Because you don't need/want FAE during colonization. Pointless and it'll just take longer. You want FAE during fruiting

Alrite, i waited a few days and fruited it in a SGFC. Its one giant cake, its only been in the fruiting chamber 2 days and theres a ridiculous amount of knotting and a couple pins already showing. I have just been spraying it twice a day with a water that had a small chlorine additive to it to be healthy for my reptiles. I figured it wouldn't hurt. Or am I extremely wrong?
After misting it heavy i fan for 15-20 seconds. then i mist it very lightly, like 1 or 2 sprays indirectly before putting the lid back on.
Its great so far, anyone have anything to add? any advice?

More perlite (5"). More holes. Elevate it off the ground so the perlite can do its job.
Are you following the tek or just winging it??

im not following anybodies tek, really. Ive been at it for some years now and I've tried several teks. this is my first time with a "super cake". Ive seen a few threads where people have made super cakes or bricks of myc, but most include a greenhouse which i can't afford at the moment.
Im all out of perlite, however I have another SGFC that has been fruiting some aluminum trays. would it be possible (ethical?) to perhaps clean the perlite that was in there (some spores got on some areas of the perlite from fruits hanging over the side. ) and just re hydrate it and toss it in the bin with the super cake?

You can sterilize your perlite again with bleach, oven or PC. That way you can be sure it is clean again.

When i rinse it out after adding bleach, should I be extremely thorough or should I not worry about it since the cake won't be touching it directly anyways?

I always rinsed thoroughly, but I also don't use bleach for that anymore. I just sterilize it in the oven for 30-45 minutes, I find that easier to do.

that does sound easier. What temp and what kind of container do you put it in? like just baking sheet?

I put the perlite in a 3/4 liter glass lasagna bowl?(don't know the English word for that), wrap it in aluminum foil (this way no contamination gets in during cooling), I put it in the oven and preheat it at 400F/200C (takes about 8 minutes and this way the perlite in the middle is heated up as well), then I set the timer for 30 minutes at 400F/200C. Because I wrapped it in aluminum foil I don't have to worry about any contamination getting in if I don't use it right away.

Just using new perlite is the easiest way, but he said he was all out, so I gave him some options.

I've bleached perlite before, without consulting the forum so i suppose i made the right move. but i still had issues with contams. I always have issues with contam, its usually after i put my trays/cakes in the FC. I spray and fan with the lid, which could be the issue. But isn't that necessary?

Possible contams are everywhere all the time... I doubt bleaching perlite (unless it starts growing mold itself but bleach won't really be that effective anyways) will make much difference. There is just as much contams in the air as there would be on your perlite. Your trays were probably contaminated before you put them in your FC. You should watch your technique starting over from the beginning to maybe find out the real source of the problem If you always have problems with contamination on a constant basis or at least i would. If contamination was really that big of an issue then most of us wouldn't be able to grow at all unless you had a sterile lab and stuff

what would you guess? I thought transferring to bulk would be the most sensitive part
