Shoe box update 1

I’ve always done Brf cakes but a friend kept telling to start doing tubs and stop doing cakes. At first I didn’t feel confident enough to do a tub because of the extra steps. Anyway I took his advice and gave it a try. This is my first attempt and it’s going good so far. He also gave me some tips on how to get a better pinset which I’m gonna apply to my tub I have colonizing now. I just feeling great about it working out.

Here is a bonus pic of my BRF cakes. I think I’m done now with the pf tek. I think I leveled up.

I’m gonna use this thread to keep posting update pic every few days instead of making new threads. So please let me know what you think and if you have any tips or suggestions much appreciated 🙏🏼

Lookin’ good! Definitely easier to regulate your humidity levels in a tub vs cakes. Enjoy!

That will come from cloning a particularly impressive mushroom and isolating that culture for your spawn

My friend told me to keep my substrate and spawn in colonizing conditions longer until I see a nice pin set then give it FAE to start fruiting to get a nice pinset. I’m gonna try that with the tub I have colonizing.

I follow your post, want to see how it goes for you...
Just to talk, I don't know if this is a level up to say to go from cake to monotub, just another method as I can see, maybe less babysitting at the end, but it seems more work before, so this look equal for me, except you can grow tons with big monotub if you need, but with cake if one goes wrong, there are a lot others... And I just learned you can also use cake to spawn... I think they are fun for personnal grow. I will try a monotub too, as I am still newbie now, but I like the brf cakes method.
And maybe also you haven't see cakes like that

My buddy told me this shoe box is gonna produce more fruits then my cakes. Also said that in my later tub flushes I’ll have less fruits but some of the biggest mushrooms I’ve seen. He’s way more advanced then me. This is my last pf tek and it’s all tubs from here 🙏🏼

Yea I’m working to try and get that box that you can’t see the surface because of all the mushrooms and cap sizes. I did cakes for awhile now I did my first tub and I got fruits so I’m stoked. Hopefully I can reach that maximum capacity by the 5 tub grow. But that’s being optimistic.

They are getting big. I wish I had some agar so I could clone that huge pin growing on that one cake.
