Growing my first batch - PF tek - have i ruined it already?
    #23794647 - 11/02/16 01:48 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hi Guys,

I really need some advice here,

I am starting my first batch of cakes now, I used the PF tek method...

I used:
240ml Brown rice flour
480ml vermiculite
240ml water

As i mixed it together, i realised I had pint mason jars (the top of the lids is the same just the size is different), not half pint jars...

The recipe i used was for 5 cakes,

However I didn't have enough for 5, so i filled up 3 jars half way, and filled the rest with vermiculite about 1/2 inch from the top... Is this going to ruin them, will they still grow with this measurements?

I am so annoyed, I researched for so long and believed I had the right jars up until the last moment... they are sterilising on the cooker now - is it a waste of my time to inoculate them? I can just order some more stuff off amazon but getting to this stage took me ages getting all the ingredients and now i'm scared if i inject the spores to the mixture i made that it'll ruin them...

Thanks guys,

You need a long needle to inoculate. Do not inoculate into the dry verm and you still can have success.

Ø 0,9 x 40 mm / 20G is an option if the hydrated substrate mix is not unreachable with it.

Hey man, thanks for the reply... I don't understand those measurements though that you've suggested.. I can see that my needle is too small though.. can i take the lid off and do it that way or with that ruin the sterilisation of it?

Ah man, I'm just getting really impatient I know i shouldn't but I really want these to be done perfectly and quickly, and I'm just getting myself into a huge flap over it....

theres about 1/3 jar of verm, I will try to do what you've suggested and inoculate 1 jar, i'll leave the other 2 i think.. ive ordered some more brf and some half pint jars so i'll start over i think ////sigh

You can use a coffee grinder to make your own BRF out of organic brown rice.
