What works?
    #26734149 - 06/10/20 11:37 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Can somebody tell me if
The brf and vermiculite tek
Is substrate?

Do you spawn it then add it
To the brf substrate?

Thank you.

PF Tek uses BRF cakes dunked in water and rolled in verm and set up in a fruiting chamber.

I've seen other people put cakes to a substrate in a shoebox or monotub but I don't know much about it. If you want to go this route, I'd recommend agar and inoculating jars of grain like oats or wild bird seed.

The colonized cake is the spawn, coir/verm or just coir is the substrate.

When you do the PF tek with the dunk and roll, there is no substrate, just the cakes.

It's probably fine. Even if it's not fine, it'll eventually be fine. So it's fine.

Yes, BRF and Vermiculite mix (PF Tek) is a substrate. Mycelium grows on substrates. You can spawn to coir at 1:1 ratio. Coir is a casing which holds water and has a tiny amount of nutrients. The Shoebox tek is the easiest way to go to bulk from cakes. Cakes can produce quite a bit without spawning to bulk if you grow them the right way.

To add water to the mix.

Several sites make pre-made PF jars for sale. They dont need water, just spore solution. They should already have the proper moisture levels already. After consolidation (aka right before birthing them), then you can dunk for 12-24 hours to put water back into the PF cake substrate.

Yeah but when you are
Making your own logical
You do need to add water.
The brf and verm would be
Too dry.
Wouldn’t it?

We're about to find out if someone can grow without reading a Tek.

Yes, when u make your own jars, u add water. I like to do 2/3 cups verm first then 1/4 cup water then 1/4 cup of BRF then mix well and load into jar as soon as possible.

Works every time :wink:

LadysKnight. Strap in, its gonna be a Journey :yesnod:

Not just a tek, the most basic tek in all of mushroom history.
