If one were to ass blast their substrate would they need to do it in a SAB?

No need to worry about contam if you have healthy spawn.

Just don't shart or else you have to repasteurize the whole tub and start over. A high fiber diet is recommended.

I want to play around with pheno hunting and don’t want a tone of resulting mushrooms and figured I may give PF tek a shot.



I made my first spore syringes yesterday so it ain't much, but this is what I took from it. I sterilized 4 syringes with needles(4ml RO water in each syringe) and 4 shot glasses with my pf jars, syringes with needle end up, all wrapped in foil. Got my SAB set up and got to work.

First lesson, always check how good the print you chose to use is, one of the prints was as faint as my dead grandmother's ghost so I don't think that syringe will give me much to work with.

Second lesson, using a scalpel to get a lot of spores off foil just sucks the soul right out of you and replace the void with anger, I don't recommend it at all.

2 of the spore syringes was made with swabs, that was so much easier, empty the syringe in the shot glass, rub the swabs together(I used 2 swabs, but both don't need to have spores) and after rubbing for 15-20 seconds, push them against the glass to get more spore solution out and suck it back up in the syringe.

So next time I'm making a spore syringe from a print on foil I'll just use a sterilized swab to get the spores off the foil and do what I did, sooooo much better.

Well, that's it from a first time spore syringe maker :rofl:

Discovered this at my local home Depot today. It says made with coconut coir, but I can't determine what else it might have in it. Anyone ever seen this before and might this be sufficient for monotub substrate? Mostly asking out of curiosity. I'm happy to mail order the good stuff.

Just coir. Their starter pellets are of good quality coir pith.. wonder if the bricks are the same.

Usually can find ready-to-use bags of coir at most big box stores, If ever in a need as well.

That concerns me, not knowing what I am using. It may be fine, maybe not, unless someone has actually used it.

Why do so many new growers here try to fix what isn't broken, and attempt to revolutionize shroom growing before they've even grown a single god damn shroom?

GROW SOME SHROOMS! Use a known tek. Then do it over and over, and get really good at it, to the point where you don't get contamination.

THEN start experimenting. This is how it works in everything, and how it's smart to do everything.

It's the scientific way to do it. If you don't have a firm grasp on doing it the way it's been done, the way it's known to work, then if you do something with different results, you won't even know what part of your tek went wrong or right.

....in everything.

Even if you decide to prove us wrong and start doing it now, no one's going to listen to you even if you think it makes a difference because you won't be able to show that you can do an adequate Control Group. (Which should start with clones anyway)

Actually. :lol: I thought that was a light reflection. I doubt it's a fertilizer in seed starter. Could be a rooting hormone which likely won't cause any issues except for maybe overlay.

At the risk of walking into the flames I'm gonna ask this and probably regret it..

Is is possible that the additional water retention capacity of vermiculite vs. coir could reduce the degree of substrate shrink as water is consumed by the first flush or--relatedly--potentially make it easier to rehydrate the sub for later flushes?

My reasoning here is that verm, being able to retain more water than coir by weight, being lighter than coir, and having greater volume to weight, could result in the substrate being less dense after having the water sucked out of it by the first flush, and potentially leaving a more open (spongy?) structure to the cake that would allow [more] water to penetrate and be re-absorbed more easily.

For the record, I'm not *recommending* or *suggesting* anything here, just asking out of academic curiosity. :smile:

I think it is a fair question. I don't think that verm expands and contracts like coir does with water absorption. I am not 100% sure about that, though. If it doesn't then it stands to reason that it could be a water source without contracting as much as coir alone. I don't know the answer but, that should be relatively easy to test with a few side by side comparisons.

PF cakes are commonly dunked to rehydrate and are often birthed and grown without any coir. Maybe they take water up in the dunk better because the of the verm. Pure conjecture on my part. Do any of you PF guys know if the cakes expand a lot with a dunk?
