5. Theirs roughly 150-180g of brf in 5 cakes. Most quart jars are 150-200g of grain per jar depending on grain and how much you fill them up.
Thank you for this.

Makes me wanna steam up some half pints.
I'll prep the CVG tonight. I'll just weigh out a quarter brick. Tomorrow or the next day I should be able to spawn.

My first ever CVG is made. 1/4 brick coir, 1 cup vermiculite, 1 tablespoon gypsum, just under a quart of water. Already after an hour when I mixed it up I think it's a bit dry. I squeezed and couldn't get any moisture to drip at all. I'll probably have to add a bit of water tomorrow to bring it to field capacity.

Man, I made that a few weeks ago and I used a shit ton of gypsum. It was so cheap and I've got so much I've just been throwing handfuls in everything haha probably a mistake When I made it, I used about the same measurements as you, but I used 1 qt plus 1 and a half cups of boiling water. And it seemed to come out good. But unfortunately that shoebox contaminated  I'm gonna try to harvest these mature fruits now

First shoebox made 2hrs ago! Got the field capacity perfect. Could only squeeze out 2 drops of water. Crumbled 5 cakes as good as I could, cased at spawn with a very thin layer of CVG. I think I did a good job at it being level. Hopefully I get a nice pin set, but I really just want some potent babies to clone. The coir had that nice cooked dark color to it, but the tub is all fogged up so it looks really light in color in this picture.

I wouldn't worry about potency. I have never grown any fruit that didn't completely rock your world. Worse comes to worse take more. Lol.
Good luck on the shoebox
