First time BRF to Bulk newbie questions
    #27011993 - 10/30/20 12:09 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

I have 8 half-pint BRF jars that are ready to be birthed. I thought about just placing the cakes on foil in a SGFC, but then decided to go BRF to Bulk to maximize yield. Do I have to sterilize the bulk substrate? I have a 56 qt Sterlite tub for this. What proportions of coir to verm should I use? Do I shred and layer in all 8 cakes into the tub or should I split them between multiple tubs? Does my tub need holes in it for FAE or not? Thanks in advance!

1) Pasteurize the coir via Bod's bucket tek. The tel calls for an insulated container.

Tek: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24077162/fpart/1/vc/1

2) Use just coir. Your cakes have verm, they were made with it.

3) I shred, on average, 4 cakes to a shoebox. It depends on the size of the container though. I like shoebox containers because they do well with 3-4 cakes to bulk.

A smaller container you can even do 1 cake. So it depends on container size.

4) You do not need to put holes in your tub.

Here's a set and forget tek:

Or you can induce FAE by leaving cracks in the lid, flipping the lid, putting a plastic bag over the container and poking holes in it, etc.

I recently did this. For a tub that size, you may want to use all 8 jars. I had 10 jars and I ended up putting 7 in the tub and kept 3 to the side. I wanted to fruit 3 as cakes using the shotgun method just incase I screwed up something with my tub I'd still at least have something.
