Mono tub vs SGFC
    #22373268 - 10/13/15 01:03 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hey,

So im getting ready for my first ever cultivation. I've been doing as much research as i can so I dont screw up. Im doing the BRF tek method cause it seems the easiest with low chance of contaminating if I'm smart about it all. I have a couple questions regarding the whole process though. Which is easier/safest route to go for fruiting, Mono tub or SGFC? also I was curious if it was better to use distilled water or is tap water fine as long as you sterilize it?

Don't use distilled water, tap water is fine. Use a SHFC for brf cakes.

Tap water is fine with PF tek, just make sure to sterilize properly as outlined in RR's videos (I assume you've seen them, if not definitely start there - Let's Grow Mushrooms). And go with an SGFC. Monos are more for bulk growing/spawning and SGFCs will do you just fine for PF cakes.

For cakes you fruit in a sgfc.. You can also spawn to monos. Mono's are obviously better. Its just a lot of cakes you could have had good flushes that you're risking for 1 monotub. As a first timer it's not worth putting all your eggs into 1 basket. That is if you actually want to see fruits

I never done that, i always used tap water as it is. But recently have been using purified drinking water because i found my tap water with a high concentration of chlorine.

May not matter to you but if you let the water sit out for 24 hours or so the chlorine will evaporate off.
