Penis Envy Pftek/wbs help please!
    #22035059 - 08/02/15 07:51 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hi every one.. first post on the shroomery! woo hoo!  been reading for years finally decided to make an account. Ive had a few grows in the past but its been like 5 years so im a little fuzzy on the second stage.

Well Ill hop right into it.
  so my first dilemma is this.. I started this batch around 4/9 it is now 8/2
I used the wbs-tek because i was planning on using horse poo for the main substrate. but after ruining a few jars and loosing my connection to fresh horse poo im now trying to switch back to the brf tek. so its been about 4 months.. havent had time or space to work on my project till now.
  some of my jars have the yellow goldish stuff which i think is pee.. but for the most part my jars are fully colonized and i see no contaminants.. 
My question is will they still fruit after sitting for so long.

My second dilemma is that now im trying to switch from wbs to brf..
  so what im doing is birthing my cakes onto sterilized brf mix with a tad bit of gypsum mixed in.(mixed in before pressuring cooking at 15 psi for an hour)  im planning to use the casing method at this point.
will this work? will the gypsum help in this particular susbtrate?  also im not sure how much gypsum to add i may have added too much in this first casing cake. will it cause problems if i added too much?
if your wondering im using large foil pans that will fit in a tub and also a layer of perlite for humidity on the bottom of the tub. 

thanks!  any help would be greatly appreciated!

i would honestly suggest just spawning your cakes to a simple bulk sub, spawning to more brf seems like more trouble then it's worrth, i would also suggest using a plastic tray and as for gypsum a rough 5% is plenty

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

I'm tired do me a favor

that's a casing material not a bulk sub, coir manure straw grass clippings are all good

Coco husk fiber is the same thing as "coir".

oh i was reading a different thread on coir trying to figure out procedures and they stated theres 2 types of coir and u dont want the coco husk fiber.  The stuff that i got doesnt say coir on it at all..  but it is coco husk fiber and it was really difficult to locate.  Im not experienced with coir so im not really sure what im looking for. 

so i have a brick of compressed coco husk fiber..  is it the right stuff? here is a link www.aurorainnovations.org/coco-fiber.html

Coir is made from scraping the outside of a coconut shell, that's where the term "coconut husk fiber" comes from. It'll work fine.

Damion50/50's coir tek works well for starting out, it's easy to get right. Learn how to dial in your monotub as well, it will help. IME, 8-12 days after spawning to bulk (with ideal temps) should get you to fruiting stage. Don't do it when you're not fully colonized, and don't wait until you see lots of pins. Mist with RO water, as coco and verm are easily contaminated.

Coco and verm are not easily contaminated.

I mist with my dirty ass tap water. The water will not be the source of your contamination. Your spawn will be.
