"My own" theoritcal bulk popcorn tek
    #23997906 - 01/10/17 11:24 AM (7 years, 20 days ago)

Hey! Im thinking about doing this popcorn tek that I found on youtube :

It looks very promising and im hoping to put my own twist on it with the supplies avaialable to me. Im going to describe what I'll be doing below and I would appreciate some feedback if im doing anything wrong or if I could be doing something in a better way.

Some things to note:
- I dont own a pressure cooker and I cant afford one at this moment.
- The only jars I have available to me are PP5 plastic jars.

Ill get straight into it!
- I will prepare the corn as displayed in the video
- I have an excess of 1.1L PP5 tubs to me, I will poke 4 holes in the top  PP5 tub
- I have a stock pot with a tight fitting lid, however the lid is one of those glassones with a hole for steam to come out, im unsure if this is suitable to leave it as it is or if I should modify it?
- I will cover the holes on the PP5 tubs with micropore tape when the substrate has been packed inside. Again unsure if micropore tape would be better than electrical tape.
- Allow to consolidate and if I get success I will use Franks bulk spawning tek with his 7:11 ratio, however since I intend on using these storage boxes which are 80L and have 42cm depth, I will need 15 tubs. So mayeb around a 5:10 spawn to substrate ratio.
I will then allow to consolidate and fruit using appropriate fruiting conditions.

This is my tek in theory. Anyone have any suggestions/criticism/improvements? Might help me avoid and problems and make it easier for me to

You will need to steam those for a long time like several hours. I can't comment on projected success but hope for the best and expect the worst.
You really really should get a proper method of sterilisation before you start your hobby.

Thanks for pointing that out to me! Is there anything you'd personally suggest? I want to bulk grow but I dont have access to wbs or a pressure cooker or glass jars sadly and I doubt I'll be able to have access to any anytime soon. So I guess this was the closest thing I found to the WBS method.

without a PC you are limited to the pf tek.
you can steam sterilize grains but it will take at least 8hours.

no access to glass jars? :wutermelon:

I mean kilner jars/ball jars.

And is there nothing at all that I can do without a PC besides that?
I would need a semi decent yield to cover the costs of what I bought and I dont have access to many funds being a student and all :lol:

maybe it's not the right time to be cultivating if 20-40 dollars is out of your price range

if you don't have a pressure cooker you have to steam grains for over 8 hours to sterilize them

without a pressure cooker you can sterilize PF cakes with just a steam bath(no pressure) in 90 minutes

:facepalm3:

huh?

cover the cost of what you bought? what on earth are you implying?

and NO. without a PC you are limited to pf tek. which is fine
all you need is jars of anykind, use a old salsa jar or something.

brown rice flour
vermiculite
water

2x8$ plastic totes
5$ in perlite.
more water.

thats really it.

if you can't afford the PF tek then maybe the internet bill should be dropped :lol: probably have a hard time feeding yourself on that tight of a budget

I used to be a student making 6.50 an hour, I know how it is but...

I suppose you have a point, Ive looked at some PF tek methods and I suppose that would be the easiest one to do. If I do have a large stock pot where the lid has a little steam hole would that be fine to use?

If you're resourceful, and hit up value village/donations places and thrift stores, you should be able to grow for almost nothing.

It takes time, but it can be well worth it.

Yes that pot will be fine.

To everyone commenting on my financial situation : Unfortunately im having trouble finding a job (actively searching) and in a few months when my rent comes out of my acccount I will be way into my over draft. I just am trying to get by with what I have instead of buying a lot.
Maybe when I get a job I wont be posting as much because I'll have all I need and wont be needing to find budget ways of doing things.

I'm trying to be, where I go to uni, the shops are all brand shops and there are no cheap places like where my parents live sadly 300+ miles away so I try and bring back stuff like BRF and just little things

in the meanwhile do some reading and searching, you can do one cake fruiting chambers and avoid the SGFC save money that way. find jars you already have with lids. etc...

where there's someone with tenacity, shit will get done

instead of buying vermiculite you could find some cheap as straw,(not hay)
shred that up and use it in place of vermiculite.
then make your own BRF out of brown rice and a mortar and pestle or a grinder of some sorts.

do the PF tek hydrate the straw and let it wring out till it is holding the correct moisture content, then coat it with some flour put into your PF style jars and steam sterilize them for 90-120m
