Proper Mixture for Rice Cakes in Half-Pint Jars?
    #22303312 - 09/28/15 02:59 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

What should I measure out the vermiculite, brown rice flour, and water out to for a half-pint jar?

2:1:1  Verm/BRF/Water

Just use whatever unit, cup, half cup, half cup, and then distribute it to however many jars.  I don't know the conversions for a single jar though, never thought to make just one.

PF's comments

With some simple math and a little analysis, it can be readily seen that PF substrate is well over 100% "Biological Efficiency". RipSnort reports that his Treasure Coast shroom fruiting was had by quartering a PF cake and using the 4 pieces in seperate containers in which the quartered pieces were cased. This means that each fruiting tray above contains about 1/16 of a cup of brown rice powder and about twice as much vermiculite, plus the casing.

In a normal PF 1/2 pint cake, there is about 31 grams of brown rice powder (1/4 cup) and about 17-20 grams of vermiculite (1/2 - 2/3 cup) which adds up to about 50 grams dry weight.




Quote:

1/4 cup of brown rice powder (Health food stores and co-ops)
1/2 cup of horticultural vermiculite (medium grade) (garden centers and hardware)
1/4 cup of water

or - by volume - one part brown rice, one part water, two parts vermiculite.

The water amount is the crucial element that variates the results. The different brands of vermiculite varies in water holding capacity, creating differing moisture levels. So one can always vary the water amount (less or more than 1/4 cup), take notes and compare results. The highest water content can really make a great fruiting and give several flushes when the balance between the substrate elements is good.




A cup of water is 236.6 millilitres, so 1/4 cup is approx 59g of cold water.
