does my substrate look too wet? (pftek)
    #22384825 - 10/15/15 06:17 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys, this is my first grow (pf tek). i think i added a bit too much water to my substrate - how does it look?

Need some vets to chime in here. I innolculated 3 days ago. So obviously no signs of growth yet, but could the moist substrate hinder mycelium growth? thanks

How much water did you use? Like what was your ratio brf/verm/water

I dont know exactly, i just poured it in, stirred it up to absorb, poured a bit more... stirred it up, did this a few times. Then on the final time there was a little pool of water when i tilted my mixing bowl so i stopped. Then i added the BRF.

edit: the verm/BRF ratio was correct. just not the water (i think)

It's probably too wet... moisture content is crucial... you gotta stick to the tek.

Get rid of the tin foil.  You need GE.

I wouldn't toss em...take that foil off and set them up on a shelf somewhere that gets ambient light...those brf cakes can survive some shit so you never know
