Well it depends on the condition of the sub...
There is no definite criteria or time.

Yes this is after 2 or 3rd flush... so the sub has shrunken away from the walls.. I'll still do a dunk (weighted/ submerged) after every flush (some ppl only dunk after 2nd flush).

The most important thing is to be aware that it's more of a hail-mary If anything.

Stagnant water is never a good thing and is a prerequisite to a cesspool.

So stagnation along with nutrition (grains) and If added decreased oxygen (anaerobic) things could get worse. So..
Maximum FAE.

I'd say start with a  week if the water looks disgusting before that change more often. But balancing LITFA and water quality. 

Also some cultural are more "thirsty" than others...  is what initially inspired this. As i couldn't mist often enough.

Yes it's possible... a PITA? Definitely, but doable.

Having A strong LC game helps.

But there's also many different sizes of bags.

As well it's easier to use smaller jars for masters than larger ones.

I've also seen modifications or more like additions to SABs to increase the working height.

Such as a raised border the sab sits on or even dub tub style SAB.
Where there's a will there's a way- even with out the means .

I've been doing the weighted/submerged dunk for a few years will very few ill effects, every flush as well. I have been toying around with floating subs for a bit recently. I'm gone for a few days at a crack for work so having a way to guarantee hydration is great.

I'm also not really usually gutted if a sub decides to give up. You can kind of tell when it is time to let them go to the yeet pile.

What the hell happened to this BRF cake?  The 5 others I prepped at the same time turned out fine.  My guess is somehow this bit of the sub got too wet.

Looks stodgy to me, which makes it harder to colonize.
Can you get closer to some of the stuff at the back near the top.

What does stodgy mean in this context?  Too much BRF?  Too much water?

The top of the back is basically myc up against verm but I'll see if I can get a better snap of it.

It’s supposed to be light and fluffy and yours looks like it got all stuck together. Maybe it was cooked too long or there was too much water. I had a cake that looked like that and it took easily four times as long to finish colonizing.

Wasn’t worth the effort either because if it takes that long to colonize, it doesn’t produce very much fruit.
To contaminated.

The others were more of the light and fluffy consistency, and colonized fairly quickly, so that makes sense. 

2nd grow and 1st time doing PF Tek, so still early in my journey here, but excited to experiment and learn, FAFO.

It’s a trick, but the ingredients in the way that you add them really matters and don’t overthink it. Just throw everything together, fluff it all up and put it straight into jars. If you try to add water later in the recipe or you don’t put the ingredients in in the right order. Stuff can get all sticky and clumpy and that’s stodgy.
It’s a word I heard from an Englishman describing oatmeal.
It seems very appropriate for the hobby.

Has anyone tried the "buffered" coco bliss.




As opposed to coco bliss "premium coco coir pith"


I never noticed they had one that was buffered.


This is what buffered means


100% Buffered Coco Coir for Plants - Our coco coir block has been pre-buffered to cut down excess salts and stabilize pH levels, saving you the time and hassle of buffering it yourself. This enhances nutrient availability and soil balance, making Buffered Coco Bliss an ideal soil amendment for indoor plants, outdoor plants, and more.

Does it make a difference?


Complete newbie but I ordered the buffered which I presume means it is ph-balanced. Big surprise for me is how hard the stuff is, as bricked. I used a sawzall to get a chunk out to hydrate.

That's why I like bags , 10 qt jars  is only 7.5 QTS of grain in your PC , bags you get 20 QTS of grain per run



I like bags for that reason too. but, and here's me admitting to the OG's something that's frowned upon LOL. so far all the bags that I've got were
expensive (19.99-24$ for 3lb) pre sterilized grain bags  bought from  vendor. I don't have a Flowood set up yet cuz I don't have room for it.

All of my successful grows have been from these expensive vendor bags.

I finally got some jars and my own grain though so as of this point on I am officially completely on my own doing everything the right way.

I would rather not use jars though. Is it possible to do bags inside the sab?


Yeah it's just kind of a pita lol

Hey! Do these look ready for grain?
These are Natalensis Clone > WA > T1..4

I'm wondering if all that fluffy layer on top of the myc is just tomentose or something else. The culture I got the clone from was really heavy on overlay, I don't know if that matters. Also, I feel like T3 actually looked more uniform and less fluffy than these, but unfortunately I missed the transfer window on those because I was away.



PS – that white 9 o'clock spot on the fourth plate is some sort of lens artifact or reflection, there's nothing like that there in reality.

Everything I've written above is pure fiction.

Myc barely pushed through the top layer. I harvested a mediocre first flush off it and want to shoot for a 2nd, since I dont see any signs of contamination.

What should I do with this from here? I considered punishing it/rinsing off most the coir and hoping it would recolonize, but idk...

Hi everyone 👋
These images are from a tub on week 7 now I believe. Growing GT's for my second time. I haven't had a flush yet. I'm concerned about the corner. Is that mold or blue bruising? The mycellium looks to be struggling.

It's mold, not even seeing blue there.

Ah crap! thanks. Do you think scooping it out and increasing airflow will be good enough or should I just bury it in the garden?
