The bones of it are pretty simple.  To maintain conditions that pans require, you need proper heat, fae and periodic rh drops throughout the day. 

The heat is provided by the substrate itself by using an appropriate sized bag that is basically just big enough to allow for the flush and kept at room temps of 71-73F.  The fae happens passively with the many tiny holes all over the bag.  There’s also a blast of fae along with rh drop when a box fan pointed at the bags from 5 feet away goes on via a cycle timer for 3-5 minutes every two hours.  That’s it for conditions.

There’s also the need for clean cultures and appropriate substrate.  Ime, pans are less tolerant of dirty cultures especially when using manures.  Worm castings have been VERY forgiving where manures have not been.  WC’s are what I’ll be recommending in the write up.


Thank you for a complete answer regarding worm casings, and I will strongly consider these in the future. People have mentioned them before but not as clear as you did.

Any thoughts on rabbit poops? I've been collecting.


Works great.

Do you use them whole? Grind them up? Mix with casing material?

I was interested if they could potentially increase potency or ease of fruiting mostly.

Also have you ever tried making a tea and using that water in the first part when preparing the PF tek before you steam it or PC it? I was wondering if this would also make fruits faster to develop or easier, or if it's just basically the same results.

How open are you leaving the bag, do you zip up the sides a little or no? Do you have it folded over at all? Any other GE cycles going on?

I just poked hole per fahts Tek and leave it fully zipped up. I had to add a few more when it started fruiting.

Didn't fold it over at all but I got cheap bags for these ones so they tend to fold over by themselves lol.

Gonna try some ttvbi in them later this week as well

I hydrate my coir in a ziplock, let it cool then mix in the subtropicalis spawn. I poke some holes in the bag, put it in a JCM, then cut the bag away after it pins. No casing or pseudocasing. These 2 bags yielded 35 grams dry on the first flush. I cut the bag away to clean up the fruits under the plastic. Here to another flush.

Hello Fahtster! Posting this to share here - it is a link to a 3D printing project that I made to keep 1-gallon zipblock bags from collapsing during fruiting. I've been able to make them stay up with a bit of finessing the bags without supports, but this was just a fun thing that I made to make it a bit easier. Works pretty good!

I love growing zipblocks & very much appreciate your sharing the method with the world.

Peace to you friend!
