Is this ok?
    #5707695 - 06/03/06 03:02 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Just wondering if it would be safe to use CD's as bases for my PF cakes, instead of jar lids because I dont have any.

Is there a chance the mushrooms/cakes will absorb some of the toxic plastics from the CD-bases while developing?

Thanks  :rasta:

Yea I plan on setting them on Perlite, and I was also thinking about making little aluminum foil bases, but I heard aluminum foil gets absorbed by the cakes and can poison you?

Honestly I don't see a problem w/ the plastic. If your rather concerned about it, just cut open a jug or 20oz soda bottle or something w/ food grade plastic. Should be just fine

don't use any kind of metal. mycelium eats metal, and can kill/weaken the myc. if I were you i'd use some type of plastic. cd's are a lil eh..

idiots. The cd's are fine. If you are worried about metal in the cd then use them upside down, so the label is touching the perlite. You will find that they grow better using reggae, trance, and techno


--------------------
Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

if you use a cd, tape up the hole in the middle.
put some verm on the cd, moist verm.
cake on the moist verm.
cake should be dunked and rolled of course.
some verm on top of the cake as well.
or better yet use a 50/50+ casing mix instead of verm.

there you go.
