    #5709653 - 06/03/06 11:49 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

hello every one im back after a short absence i finaly got my spores in and created my substrate 50% verm 50 % perlite + brf it was inoculated 3 days ago how ever there is a small deposit of water onthe bottom of the jars obiously too much water
my question is if this exess water will delay or stop myco from colonizing the jars?
any feed back will be greatly appreciated
thankyou

I'd be more worried about your substrate recipe than the water content

Peat moss?  :blush:

uhhhhh
you're not supposed to use perlite in the substrate
it should be 2 parts brf:1part verm:1 part water

i think you need to re-read things for about 12 hours before trying again.

Not the ratio I use at all.

more like 2 parts verm
1 part brf
1 part water.

acutually, I use...
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5668288/an/0/page/0

but everyone is different I guess.

I suggest sticking to the pf tek if that is what you are doing and do every step to the letter.

Read far more before doing.

You will save time, money, and frustration in the end.

you can use whatever you want.

I strongly suggest not using perlite in any substrate.

You can use it in a pmp for humidity.

pf is brown rice flour, vermiculite, and water. no perlite.
