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.

    ditched the pf tek to get with the times. Have the money, and have the time to devout to learning so I figured why not.

    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 :dying:)

    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.

    Psilosoulful whats your contamination rate on jars? I was getting serious issues with just leaving the lids slightly loose

    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?
