alright so im ditching pf tek. I'm going agar + wbs.
Bought damn near all my supplies tonight. 20lbs Pennington classic WBS 16 quart pressure cooker 2 5gallon buckets w/ lids 24 4oz mason jars (agar) 24 1qt mason jars 1lb polyfill 4 66qt sterilite containers Idahoan original instant potatoes (agar) tyvek painters suit clear rtv silicone agar agar flakes (fucking $10 for 1oz at whole foods) honey (agar)
already have: 16qt vermiculite 1 brick coir 70% iso alcohol 3 spray bottles masking tape tin foil paper towels
oh and i got my spores today!
still need to pickup: exacto knife (agar) 2-3 more coir bricks black spray paint (gonna paint the bottom of the tubs black instead of using a black trash bag)
Still got some more research to do. But next step is to start some agar plates. (build a SAB, create jar lids)
Questions:
1.) Has anyone used agar flakes? I'm following the grocery store agar tek but was unable to find the crystal agar like he had.
2.) (just realized this)The RTV silicone i picked up isnt gonna work right? Need the red high temp gasket maker one?
btw: I managed to gather all of my supplies from walmart, lowes, petco and whole foods.

Don't give up on cakes entirely, I still do some from time to time, though like most things I do them a bit different(than PF-style), early on I started PCing my cakes, and that works decent.
If you have the materials give that a try too sometime, its nice to have a big bag of tricks(but not trich )

Don't spray paint the bottom of your tubs. Side pins are caused by air getting under the substrate creating a favorable fruiting environment. Blocking out the light won't help. any silicone will work. I use clear kitchen and bath silicone.

Here's todays update:



Today I did the following:
Created my SAB Cut up my tyvek suit into patches. I kept the arms and will wear them while I am using the SAB. Drilled 2 1/4inch holes into each 4oz jar. Then filled one of the holes with silicone Drilled a single 1/4inch into each 1 quart jar (gonna fill with poly-fill)
Now I gotta wait 24 hours for the silicone to cure.
Tomorrow I begin agar!

Not really that necessary. You can always just keep the lid loose to let in some GE.

I always leave the metal bands very loose after inoculation in my SAB. Then, when I'm ready to shake the grains, I tighten the lid in my SAB first. I don't have many contaminated jars. Just make sure to not move them around when they are colonizing.

I like tyvek its worked great for me, and I can't complain about the price. I always keep the jar ring hand snug, and a alm-foil dust cover on at all times except inoculation. I leave out the lid disk, because with it gone its a lot easier to seal the single puncture in the tyvek with a piece of impermeable(Scotch) tape.

I fucking love TPB man. I've watched every episode and movie a thousand times. That white trash comedy speaks to me man. I'm stoked for the next season to hit netflix.

Question:
I am following the grocery store agar tek (https://www.shroomery.org/9427/Grocery-Store-Agar-Tek)
I am about to load my jars or agar into the pressure cooker. My question is should I put a lid of tinfoil on all my jars?
