First Grow PF Tek - Need some insight
    #26820759 - 07/13/20 10:01 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hey all,

So I just got my spore syringes in the mail today and I was looking to start growing some cubensis. It's my first time growing so I'd like to keep things as simple as possible. I don't expect a massive amount of yield from this but at the same time I'd like to at least get a few ounces.

So I've been looking up a ton of guides and right now I'm thinking about going with 1/2 pint jars with Vermiculite/BRF, and setting them in a fruiting chamber on top of some Perlite. My main question right now is the amount of Verm/BRF to use. And if whole brown rice is a better option.

I'm planning on making 10 1/2 pint jars and putting them in 3 separate containers in case one of them gets contaminated.

Right now it's looking like 5 cups verm, 1.6 cups BRF and 600ml of water for 10 jars. Does that sound about right?

Also, I read getting whole brown rice and hydrating it works even better then BRF, as you can shake it around 25% and it speeds up colonization due to aeration. Is this true?

And finally my last question, right now I plan on just taking the cakes out and setting them on tinfoil, but I heard it's possible to "grate" the cakes up and make a bulk grow out of them. Would I be better off leaving them in cake form for my first time, or grating them up?

Sorry for all the questions!

Regards,
Richard

I would follow a proven tek on this forum to a T until you are able to determine how everything works. I would suggest starting with P.F. tek. I use coarse vermiculite, brown rice flour, and water in a 2:1:1 ratio. So for 4 half pint wide mouth jars you’d need 2 cups verm, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup BRF. I buy my brown rice already ground and it seems to work well. Be careful when utilizing this ratio, you may need less water. Your jars should look like fine sand, they don’t need to be that wet. Cover with foil and Steam these in a pot for 90-120mins if you don’t have a PC.

Good luck!
