First grow (and first post!) :)
    #26496726 - 02/21/20 09:44 AM (3 years, 11 months ago)



Hello! This is my first ever grow, and first time posting on here (but I have been reading for quite a while). I inoculated these jars about 1.5 weeks before the pic was taken, using BRF tek. I just wanted to see what everyone thought, if these look okay, any concerns, etc. Thank you in advance! :smile:

Do you have a dry verm layer as per the PF TEK?

If you do, take that tape off, the dry verm layer is your barrier against contams.

Also, if possible, take the picture closer to the jars. The mix looks funky to me but it's hard to tell because of the distance/shading.

what he said. the mix looks strange to me but i don't use that tek and am still learning myself. Maybe take a pic closer up? looks like there is some definitive growth going on. usually at the two week mark im looking for around 50 percent colonization at least

They look fine to me :shrug:

Also, id recommend not using tall regular mouths next time. They are a pain to use. Wide mouths are the best (like pictured to the far left).

I keep thinking I see a pin in the left jar right at the verm layer, but it’s those big ass chunks lol.

Looks good, how are you gonna fruit?

I was thinking either a SGFC or maybe trying a shoebox...what would you recommend? Do you get a larger yield from a shoebox, or is it just less maintenance?

Well...I’m personally not a fan of cakes. When you’re really good at them they’ll yield decently but for a first grow I think shoebox would be better.

lol time to bust out my first grow pics again.

So I got my syringes and knocked up quart jars and brf jars, and ended up with this for my mazatapecs.



And the shoebox finished first. Granted I got a super fast colony in my wbs jar, from spore to 100% in like 9 days.

Thanks!! And damn, that shoebox looks amazing! How many cakes do you usually use per shoebox? I just bought 3 bricks of eco earth coir, but I've read a lot of different things about substrate ratios...I have 20 jars that I think are ready to fruit this weekend, and 10 more on the way :smile:

Well I used a quart of wbs for the shoebox.

I think that’s 4 half pints.

Some people think brf doesn’t work as well in bulk, I’ve only done it once but got good results.

I've never spawned cakes to bulk or used a shoebox I just know the teks
are good. I did cakes once many many moons ago then instantly made a clone
to agar and started working on grains as my goal was going bulk.

I know agar and grains are probably the way to go, but I wanted to try cakes and see if I could even get anything to fruit first. I'm way too excited about this project lol especially with all of this free time at home...

I had the same thoughts and feelings when I first started. It's good
to be excited, you've brought a life into the world that only exists
in its exactness there. It's yours and only yours, life is heavy, this
lightens and enlightens your head space, it is to be cherished.
