Im new to this.. help please :)
    #4650411 - 09/12/05 01:31 PM (18 years, 6 months ago)

Before I start my setup is this


Going to do about 3 jars that size (in pic.)

Im thinking about doing a casing but not 100% sure if 3 jars of that size is good enough for a casing as listed on http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/565456/an/0/page/0
I guess if I got a smaller sized cooking tin pan it would work out but I got a few questions...
1. Whats Pre-sterilised casing mix (step 6)as listed on the Casing 101 (pictorial) list?
2. Where would damp perlite be placed in that casing example... Below the tin foil pan (not in pan but below it?)
3. And lets say if I dont want to do a casing and just use my cakes.. would a layer of damp perlite go on the bottom of my grow box then a level of some sort to keep cakings off the perlite?
4. As a follow up to question 3, and also considering that I wouldnt be using the casing method, how would I setup my cakes in the grow box in picture? That kit is from http://mycomonsters.com/wst_page5.html so most/all supplies come to grow mushrooms.

Anyways Im sure I got more questions but need a few responses. Thanks again gentlemen!

Also if any1s got a good link for "dunking" I read about it but still confused... and the term coldshocking? <--- But then again if I do a casing, dunking/coldshocking wouldnt apply to that method (casing)?

I will most likely wanna do casing... seems easier but I wouldnt mind learning about cakes too, but if thats too much information to talk about lets go with casing then. ty.

if this is ur first grow id say go with cakes first, they r actually the easier ones to grow, i was gon to do a casing my first time to but then i did alot more research and realized cakes r the way to go for ur first few times. do a couple of cakes, get some prints, then practice on casings. unless u have a couple of prints/syringes already, then go ahead and do a casing:thumbup:

ty for some help thegatewaydryg but im still got no questions answered that can put me on track. im basically waiting for my syringue to start innculation and when the jar is fully colonized, if u suggest cakes are easier then yay! BUT, my questions is where I need most help. The reason why I figred cakes would be not harder but the reason is im confused on dunking/rolling/coldshocking... So lets say cakes.. bottom layer in grow box damp perlite, and then a level to keep each cake from touching perlite... help help help :P... ty ty ty!

u dont have to coldshock, dunk, or roll it just helps if ur cakes r fucking up. yea, perlite on the bottom of ur terrarium add water (i usally put a heat pad under it to create more humidity) and ur off. fresh air exchange everyday about 4-5 times a day, make sure ur humidity is at 90% or higher, keep the temp 73F or higher but lower then 85F.

if u got anymore questions just keep posting:)

well u say that dunking/rolling/coldshock or w/e isnt a nesessary step BUT does your output of shrooms come out better? Is the cake really fragile that (most?) people do it?

Thats the same chamber I bought for my first grow. Im really happy with the substrate they use. Makes some potent shrooms, let me tell ya. Also, this is what I did to the rubbermade they sent me.
After I did that, I didnt have to fan at all. Oh, heres some harvest pics from that substrate.
B+

The bottom picture is 1st flush from 2 cakes.

What are those things sticking out of the grow box that u added.. looks very interesting (instructions on how u did/how it works)... btw that level I see at the bottom of the grow box is that your perlite level, and also did u do damp perlite or water at a level and added perlite (measurements)? One more thing what humidity level did u get from that pictures and what did u use to level your cakes off from touching the perlite?

Ok. I used 1 inch tubing, cut in segments of 3in long. I traced the circles on the chamber and cut them with a solder iron. Then I stuck the tubes in, used gasket maker
to seal around the tubes. If you do this, use a knife or sandpaper to ruff up the surface so the gasket maker will stick to the chamber.

Stuffed tubes with polyfill and voila. I used a total of 12 tubes. Maintain humidity of 97%. Use no fanning at all.

Oh, and yes. Thats perlite. I just soak and strain mine, the I pour a little peroxide on it, stir it up, then throw it in. As far as the cakes, if you set them directly on the perlite, youll get more shrooms from the bottom.Since I dont have any standing water in there, I can do that.

whats inside of those tubbings that u ahve that look white? look like socks lol... now also if I didnt do the tubing method u have shown, fanning... hmm... opening it 4-5 times a day and give refreshed air? or an actual fan would have to be in it? Any other easier method with my box that can be applied?
