Yeah, what he said. 

Do you have your SGFC elevated like on a brick to allow airflow to come up from the bottom through the perilite? It should be slightly elevated and the perilte should be wet.

  Also did you harvest that first flush cause they done man.

Yes, it’s elevated on half pint jars. I’ve harvested the first flush, soaked the perlite, and put the cakes back. One cake has a mold-colored area at the base that concerns me. I’ve been misting with a water /3 % hydrogen peroxide mix, 20/1 ratio. One cake has two pins already.

That coloring on the bottom of that could be just bruising from it being too dry inside the SGFC. Is it blue colored similar to Shroomery's modern color?  :shroomeryhead:

If it’s not mold it’s gone beyond bruising to rotting.

I guess that means it’s time to dispose of it then?

I certainly never expected that after nearly three months, all I’d have to show for all my efforts was about three grams of dried shrooms. And this is the “easy” method of growing? If you’ve found an easier method do tell. OTOH, maybe they will start fruiting a lot any day.

Looks wet to me. Let it dry a bit before misting and don't throw it out. Just looks like some very potent myc

lol that’s why I didn’t like cakes.

I think wbs to coir shoebox is the easiest method. You could shred your cakes into coir also.

I’ve posted this a few times but it’s perfect for this so...

My first grow I knocked up a few quarts of wbs and a few brf cakes.


The cakes took a little longer, and required way more maintenance.



By the time that first cake was done I already had this shoebox harvested and dried out.



Started the same time.

I don't think too much moisture has ever been the problem with these cakes. Every time I mist them the cakes and perlite have been dry to the touch before I mist. If anything, they were too dry because I rigidly adhered to the 3x a day misting prescribed in EM666's instructions, and because I shook out every drop of water from the original perlite when I made the SGFC.

I’m getting a bad feeling about these cakes. I think they’re done. Below is a picture I just took of one on its side. And this isn’t even the cake I last showed a picture of. Advice? Comments? I think I’m ready to throw these out and start over.

Get that one out ASAP. Trich


I’d give it a day or two and if no more shows up shred them to coir in a shoebox or some small container.

That’s rough after so much time man. Go spend ten bucks at petco on three bricks of coir and some shoeboxes,I promise it’ll be the best thing youll ever do for shroom cult. Shoeboxes are pretty hard to not get at least a few doses out of ime, I’ve used dirty spawn, messed up the coir prep, let the myc on the surface dry and mat until it died, and still gotten at least a few doses out of each one.

Really any container laying around will work don’t even need to buy shoeboxes, they’re usually less than a dollar though.

Thanks for your suggestion. Is there a tutorial on this site as to how to do it? I've never heard of the method. This is where I could really use a book, or a detailed, step-by-step description of exactly how to shred BRF cakes into coir and how to go from there. I am continuing to search this site for such a tutorial. Haven't found one yet that explains it with enough detail.

Just read shoebox teks there’s a few.

All you do it hydrate the coir then break up the cakes as much as possible and mix them in, then level it out and put another thin layer of coir on top.

Then put the lid on and wait

Would straw work? I already have plenty of that. Could boil it to disinfect it first.
