First time growing, SGFC or shoebox?
    #26523453 - 03/08/20 07:03 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ok so I think I’m ready to give this a shot, I’m gonna use the BRF cakes. Should I use the sgfc or should I shred them with a cheese grater and make a shoebox? Thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far, this group is pretty amazing. The way people help each other out in this group is pretty rare to find these days.

Terrible advice. But I guess the times have changed.

I wouldn't put in 4-5 weeks of work to shred to a shoebox. To many things that can go wrong. Once you have fully colonized cakes your 99% there. But if you shred them and wait another couple of weeks so that they can colonize the coir verm. Then put into fruiting your adding 0% nutrition, so all your doing is adding a substrate layer to more increase your moisture for a higher yeild. But cakes will give you plenty of mushrooms if done right.

Ime shoebox is way better. Much easier to set up and maintain and more mushrooms.

I started both my first time and ended up with like 25g from the shoebox and 6g off two cakes.

I’ve never put in the time to really run a proper cake grow, but to me it seems like they should be more of a novelty thing at this point if you’re growing for a shroom supply.

Wbs is way better though if you have a pressure cooker.

SGFC is "easier" if youre new to cultivation but shoeboxes have more yield because irs bulk growing not cake growing.

I found shoeboxes easiest, just spawn and snap on the lid and wait.

Fanning and misting and all that for the cakes was a pain.

The higher difficulty with shoeboxes lies in the processing of the grains to use as spawn. Unless u have enough cakes to use as spawn.

So you don’t fan or mist in your shoeboxes? What about holes in the box?

Hope your grow turns out well.

Still think shoeboxes are a terrible idea compared to SGFC.

Shoeboxes get enough air with the lid on. So you mix them up snap the lid on and that’s it. Maybe a light mist once or twice when it’s knotting.

You won me over on this topic.

Fruit the cakes. Clone the fruit and use that to go for bulk on the next go around.
