Doing Bulk With No Pressure Cooker * COMPLETED GROW LOG* 3

Whats good fam, this is my first attempt at starting a thread on .org. I wanted to write something on how to move on from pf tek>SGFC for people stuck on pf tek, stuck on brf, afraid to get into agar and grains, dont have a PC, etc etc. Just trying bridge gaps for the less experienced.
I also see a lot of shit talking on brf and cakes as well so I wanted to come to its defense.
Before we go on I would like to say that as a noob you should definitely start with agar. I think spores>agar>grain>bulk is not only the easiest, but fastest and most cost effective way of starting a bulk grow for your first time. But this is just another way to get somewhat the same result with needing less experience, recourse and equipment.
WHY YOU SHOULD START WITH AGAR
I turned 7 half pint cakes into 35 half pints(8.7 qt) of spawn by following Eatyoualive's Lazy Mofo Bag Tek. I will be spawning this to two 27qt mini mono tubs and a cooking tray with 2.5qt of substrate. Each minimono has 6qt of substrate and 3 brf bags, about 15 half pints or 3.75qt of brf cake.
- Here is my thing with this tek. I really enjoy letting them fruit in a sgfc, but it normally takes about 14-20 to see any pins after transferring. where as it only takes 3 days to fully colonize. So its use is better fit for spawn in my opinion. (Picture day 1 vs 3)
I inoculated the pf jars on 4/24 with LC. I expanded to bags on 5/04 a few days after they were fully colonized. I spawned the bags into the mini monos and tray on 5/09.
I followed Pastywhyte's Minimono write on these two 27 qt totes. I lined one tub and did not line the other. For substrate I am using 40/40/20 mix of hpoo/coir/verm. You can just use coir following bucket tek or whatever sub you prefer. I followed Eats Easy Oven Pasteurization 123 Tek for the substrate pasteurization.
Here is a picture of the brf bag cake out of the bag
I crumbled 3 of these cakes into 6qt of sub with a liner, mixed evenly and then did a tiny cover of sub on top.
For the other one I shredded 3 of the cakes with a cheese grater into 6qt of substrate, mixed evenly then finished with the top layer of sub.
Here is a picture of the tray(I'm messy lol)
Here is myc pushing through the top layer of the sub in the crumbled tub with the liner 36 hours after spawning. The other picture is the side view from the tub that I cheese grated 36 hours after spawning.
I will continue to update as the grow progresses.
UPDATE; 5/12
Day 3 Tray fully colonized, had a bit of pooling so I used a papertowel to help it out. Myc pushing through the top of layer of sub in the lined mini, which was crumbled. Myc barely pushing through the grated mini with no liner. Also side view of colonization in tub with no liner.
UPDATE; 5/15
Day 6 Myc pushing through the sub casing layers. side view, for some reason that blob of sub isnt colonizing.
UPDATE; 5/19
Day 10 Both tubs almost at 100% colonization of the sub casing layers. The tub with the liner looks like a frosty fucking winter. Their is still this little bit of slow progressing sub, but besides that the exterior of the tub is fully colonized.
UPDATE; 5/21
Day 12 Knots and a few pins in both tubs so i threw them into fruiting conditions. no knots on the tray but i put it in the sgfc anyway.
UPDATE; 5/24
Day 15 Fruiting Day 3 Pinset on crumbled tub looking really nice. just a few tiny pins on the tub I cheese grated. I noticed crumbling is faster colonization and better pinset with this method. The tray has hyphal knots on it but my camera doesnt have good enough quality to capture it. will post pics when it pins.
UPDATE; 5/25
Day 16 Fruiting Day 4
First two images are the mono with the liner which I crumbled. fungi looking beautiful. BUHBOOM. Second two images are the mono with no liner which i cheese grated. Not looking too promising but we will see how it plays out.
UPDATE; 5/26
Day 17 Fruiting Day 5
The first three images are the tub with no liner which I cheese grated. Not too many mushies but theyre still looking good. lots of side pins on this one. this is why we use liners but sometimes its rather annoying to deal with liners. For this write I made one with liner and one with out a liner for the sake of easy identification and to show colonization for noobs.
Here is the fun one that I crumbled and used a liner. looking b e a u t i f u l I also noticed this little double head mutant which was pretty cool.
UPDATE; 5/27
Day 19 Fruiting Day 7
Here is the tub with no liner which i cheese grated. nothing too crazy but still a lovely amount of beautiful fruit. I love that they all have so much mycelium on the caps from rupturing out of the sub.
HARVESTING
484 for the first flush, buhboom.

I don't know if it's all that fun compared to grains. But I am not the biggest fan of sgfc either. Too much space not being used. It's a really nice feeling once you dial in your monos.

Thanks brother, I appreciate it. Im glad you could enjoy that one. It made me really happy to see that mutation going on. Completely reminded me of a uterus as well.
