2nd ever grow attempt, much better so far? * 1
    #26811184 - 07/08/20 03:28 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hey all! I'm on my second attempt at growing cubes - first attempt using PF Tek was pretty disappointing and did not yield much (largely user error). The second time around has gone much better so far! Instead of pf tek, I am running Bod's easy af shoebox tek. I am using crumbled brf cakes with this pre-made substrate. I didn't want to add additional potential points of failure by pasteurizing my own coir substrate, at least until I had improved my skills in other parts of the process (which I think did - the BRF cakes turned out MUCH better this time). I mixed ~ 1:3 ratio of shredded brf cake to substrate and then put a thin layer of substrate over that and misted moderately until it looked wet. Since then, I have not touched it aside from peeking inside a few times to lightly mist and unlatching the lids yesterday.

Anyway, ~3 weeks in and this is where I'm at:



(additional shoebox not shown that's a little behind since I experimented with a little higher substrate to BRF cake ratio)

To my eye, everything looks pretty good? Some of them have fuzzy feet, but I've seen conflicting reports about whether that's a good or bad thing in regard to surface conditions.

Any comments or bits of advice would be greatly appreciated!

Looks good, personally i think cake teks are absolutely garbaged for anything other than genetic research. If you are new its best to go straight to monos or shoeboxes. Keep us updated. Fuzzy feet are no big deal.
