Can CV monotube be soaked in water for 12-24 hours after harvesting? Or is it unnecessary and pointless?

What's a good spawn to coir ratio when you break up PF Tek cakes after they have fruited once? I'm thinking 1:2 but maybe I can stretch it further.


1:2 is a good spot, here’s a great thread about it

My avatar is of my first grow a few years ago, where I did the same thing, I shred three cakes using this tek at a 1:2 ratio

Hii, new first timer. Used a GT grow kit for the first time, that now has its first pin. It's one of those fully pre colonized bricks that you rehydrate and then sit in a bag.

Vendor instructions say to leave the bag open for airflow when I have pins - is this actually necessary? I unfortunately have fungus gnats in my apartment. I have some super fine mesh I can put over it if it is necessary; but I also WFH and can manually refresh the air frequently if that's fine too.

Thanks! (And yes I'm going to do this hobby properly next time 😊)

I'd love a definitive answer.
I'm sure it's based off of volume of the container but ideally how long do you vent your your pressure canner or cooker?
I have one that is roughly 30 quarts.
I've been letting it go for about 20 to 30 seconds.
Is that enough?
Or should I have this thing be blasting for a good minute and a half?

USDA recommends 10 minutes. (Off-site PDF.)

Honestly it looks like there’s something mixed into your cultures.

The plates look like the rizo you have is trying to outrun something.

Your first three jars don’t look great especially jar one looks like thick ice cream. 

Could just be pics

Bottom two jars look ok. But again, it looks, imho, like it’s riz in an attempt to outrun something.

Just my 3 pennies

I do have a shake wait but people said that I'm still supposed to vent.
Is it just needless overkill?

all guides and standards I've ever seen recommend 10 minutes venting. So, fill with water appropriately, heat without shaker on, it starts steaming from the port, keep waiting until the safety lock engages (sometimes you need to tap it or ever so slightly rotate the lid to unstick it), THEN the venting counter starts.

10 minutes of venting AFTER the lock engages. Then throw the shaker on, and PC timer only starts after that starts shaking.


No, venting is not "overkill." it's very very standard in all pressure cooking / canning. Don't skip an 'invisible efficacy' 10 minute step.

My posts are long winded and dense.
Supplemented coir experiments< Currently ongoing spring 2026.

~Agar~ 1000mL water = 1000g water. use ~1% agar...1% of 1000g is 10g.  For cubes, use between 1-2% nutes (10-20g). For pans use 0.5% nutes (5g).

Everything I have typed is purely fiction, and is purely for personal amusement.
All images I've posted are not mine and I am simply posting interesting things I found on the Google.

You absolutely are supposed to vent for ten mins minimum.  This is a fact.  It’s standard procedure for all canning, not just mush cult.

If you forget to let the needle cool down after flame sterilisation how badly will it mess up the brf pf tek?

It's fine. Some spores died to cool down the metal.

I’ll actually put the needle in the hole immediately after flaming on purpose and then squirt a little out while it’s against the glass to cool it.  Gets the needle inside safely.  Extra security

Probably easier to explain like this if you run a presto or similar with air-vents. Most of the air will push out while climbing to 15PSI. :smile:


That is not the correct procedure for venting. This isn't the first time I’ve seen you post nonsense, please stop spreading bad info. Just because you've been doing something for a long time and getting away with it doesn't mean it's the correct way to do it.
