Got experiments in the works, waiting on some sound deadening shit to run this compressor in the box I built yesterday. Feels good to actually start going again

^take the bubble wrap off and pop it, then throw it away. Its an outdated method
Putting all your time and energy into 2 cakes is no way to learn. Always be starting more

I am happy for the fact that you are helping me again but man I put my heart into that SGFC.. that stung a bit... I thought it looked good. Believe me I take your advice dude but I also see the cakes went from fluffy and sexy to dry and blue, so I knew something was up.
I cleaned the SGFC with hot water, soap, and iso, and then put new fresh perlite and the cakes back in and misted the sides (yes I was right, they were as dry as a girl whos turned off) They will be left alone again now. Hope I didnt handle them too much but the bacteria contam had to go ya know? They were only sitting in the 2L bottles for about 12 hours.
Also, I want to make clear I have 2 more cakes which are fully colonized, I'm just letting them consolidate. Maybe I will case those with coco coir and a 6qt tub this time.

You need something else to focus your effort on.
Start more cakes or agar.
Like jcm said.
READ READ READ READ READ READ READ AND READ!
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY STAY BUSY
You have 2 small baskets and you are putting ALL your eggs into them...
Get more chickens and more baskets. Quit putting all your eggs in one basket
Maybe I will case these next cakes because they just finished colonizing.

Interesting idea. I still have some brewer's yeast left for mead making, though not nearly as much honey as you've used.

Are you still using 1/4 pints? Keep inoculating shit. The great thing about agar is you use way less spores than germination on cakes

junk_f00d said: Thanks, I've got the 1L agar media bottle right now and I've been using pint and quart jars for LC but just want something that pours a little cleaner. I wasn't sure if a 250ml would feel too small, but I liked the idea of fitting two stacks of them in my PC.
Unrelated question, but in Bod's Agar Tek, why does he recommend removing the lid from the PC once the pressure reaches 0 in order to tighten the cap? That seems like a bad idea, even if covered with foil; wouldn't the tempature difference you've introduced by opening the lid just draw in contams? Same reason you don't want to open your PC right away after cooking jars? I've always just put my media bottle in at normal tightness, snug but not cranked down, and let it cool down naturally. Is that suboptimal, and if so, why?
Stacking sounds like a bad idea lol you’ll likely have boil over if your agar isn’t roughly level with the water
I leave my lids slightly loose before pc and don’t have any issues. Your pc sucks in unsterile air after it hits 0 regardless of when you take the lid off. I’ve left agar to cool in the pc overnight and taken it out right away both work fine for me .If you let your agar cool with the bottle lid tight it’ll create a vacuum and it’ll be hard to open when you’re ready to pour

Yes, they're 1/4s. I won't be doing those jars again, though. Next will be 1/2. Regarding agar, it's very, very complex to me, and I feel I should understand the beginnings before even attempting to get that.

You can always grate your cakes into a shoebox using This. Or look up humidity chamber. If you go the shoebox route you don’t have to consolidate them. Just grate them up and add your field capacity substrate. Just make sure to tamp down the edges real tight and put a 1/4 inch top layer on top.

Ok, this is actually bizarre. As I mentioned earlier, I cleaned the SGFC with alcohol, soap, and very hot water. I replaced the perlite, and did all that.
Now, I notice in the exact same spot (where the lid connects with the tub) the same subtle odor of dirty feet emanating... what the fuck
And to top it off, I smelled the old perlite I had in the bag which I thought was the source, and it smelled fine! And the cakes smell fine!
It must be like, stagnant water?? Wtf is this.
Tonight I will leave the lid cracked off to not cover that spot and see if the smell goes anywhere...
Man. Just hoping these mushrooms fruit soon, I think I see pins.

Thanks man I will do that.. Only thing that confuses me is how much coir to use to get it right. I don't quite understand the 2:1 ratio meaning because how.. do I measure twice as much coir to what is now ground up BRF cake?
Anyways, would a 1/2 pint total spawn be enough for a 6qt tub?

I’d use two cakes for one shoebox. I’ve always went all out and made at least twelve cakes if not 24 or more. Check out BOD’s bucket Tek for coir and try to find your measurements for the one shoebox.
I know how it is being a noob and being met with hostility. Almost made me want to leave this site when I first started. You’ll get the hang of things though, just keep researching and always make more projects incase the one you’re on fails. You will fail (I did countless times) but once you get the hang of it you’ll have piles of mush.

Am I going crazy doing 3 cakes on a 1:1 coir cakes shoebox?
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Shoot. I’m a idiot... I didn’t read that his cakes are 1/4 pint. That’s way to small for a shoebox if you have two. He should probably just use a humidity chamber than. Not sure why he’s using 1/4 pints anyway.

Fuck, can anyone just tell Rick to buy a brick of coir, soak that to field capacity where when squeezes it barely one or two drops comes out, steam sterilize it, lay it into a tub, dump the 2 jars onto it, break them up with gloves and top it with more coir? A small pencil case? A shoebox? Anything?
And yes, an air compresor. My grows are all within this plastic storage cabinet i got from home depot. I tried turning it into a cannabis grow tent a few years ago but gave up. So when I decided to do mycology it was an easy choice for my tubs. But now since I'm going for pans and with jcm's style of fruiting chamber I need my little compressor and it's loud af. I cant fit a steamer or fogger into my cabinet, so I built a box this weekend to house the compressor, reduce the noise and allows my fc to sit on top and higher which should make it easier to dial in.

He wants his hand held and has no interest in doing any research it seems.
Im sure as hell not linking him anything until he learns how to USE THE FUCKING SEARCH ENGINE.
