looks like you're well prepared as far as materials....now lets just see how your execution turns out

Thanx for taking interest Murit. Here's some more stuff i did today. Built the TiT, set up the Tit (Did that friday actually) I've got it to hold a steady, evenly distributed (sp) 82*F. I mixed the substrate up, and am now in the last 35 minutes of Pressure cooking.
More to come.

so everything is inoculated, i lost the bottom row of jars, too much water in the pc.. otherwise the others r great.
Don't like using an alcohol flamer, even the stronger leaves a residue.
see ya in a week.
23 total 1/2pint pftek brf cakes. I don't feel 100% confident with inoculation, I can forsee some contam, I forgot to flame the needle a few times, between jars,  oh well, still have several syringes, jars, and substrate left.

and today I have pc'd and innoc'd 12 Organic Rye Flour 1/2pints. I mixed to the same ratio's as BRF, and found it very very messy sticky. It looked like my nasty bottom jars that took on water the other night, SO, i simply added more ORF and Verm until it was that moist sandy loose airy feeling... u know.. good stuff.
I innoc'd these completely cooled, like room temp cool.. and re vamp't my inocculation procedures completely, I negated the alcohol flame, and flames all together, I'm simply using alcohol wipes and self healing breathable tape.. found it in an organic nursery.. good stuff! made by 3M, i suggest looking for it in your shops.
so this time, i'm VERY confident, the substrate couldn't have looked better, and after searching all the forums and what not, I thought I would like the results from a ORF sub anyhow. BRF doesn't get much acclaim for being a very nutritious substrate.
I got my small tank of pure oxygen to put on a slow release into my FC's, dunno how safe this is, but the release is rigged to this thing i have no clue about, and it trickles out some. (Returned and got money back, screw that, i dont wanna blow up!)

Looking good, friend. The O2 tank is an unneccessary danger though. One in which an occassional fanning would work fine. Since you already have a good PC, I would like to see some quart jars of grain next time. It is much easier to get the proper moisture content with grains than with BRF, and colonization time is drastically decreased. Good luck. You're on the right track. Just remember KISS (Keep it super simple), and you'll be fine.

thanx doc, I've thought about whole rye berries next time, and yeah, stepping up to quarts also.
I recently noticed my PC full of another 12 ORF jars, won't be cool till after i get up, Then go to work, and will have to remain sealed in the PC'er until 3pm, hope that won't harm them, got ahead of myself. anyhow, if so, i'll just empty them and start again 
i was thinking Keep It Simple Stupid! but yours is much friendlier!
and yeah, the o2 tank seems pretty freekin explosive in my opinion,
tomorrow im buying a few cases of quart jars... now, wonder what grain to use!!!! (im going with rye berries) unless i get some insight here before hand. I'll be doing Stropharia on those, as i've got 23 BRF 1/2pints innoc'd with Tasmanian, and 24 ORF 1/2pints with Tasmanian, why not do 8quarts with Rye Berry and Stropharia Cubensis?
can i feed a cow colonized cakes? HAHAH

I got up super early for work, and finished up my innoculations until tomorrow morning, coz when i get off work, im gonna be getting some quarts, and build another 90qt TiT. My original is about full. (dont wanna overload, as it will gen heat soon).
Haven't put up a pic in a bit, coz i didnt want to go thru the craziness of taking pics while trying to be sterile about innoculating.
Here's my booty though!!! (46 jars total. SCrewed up a few.) bottom row of 12, second row of 12, 3rd row of 12, then a row of 10.

Last night, which is day 3 since innoculating my jars, I found this  (the blue is the reflection of my shirt)

Since I have 47 jars, and only 4 haven't started, and not ONE sign of contams "YET", then i'm building six of these, I don't have my Geo-Lite yet, and i've found that Geo-Lite is unobtainable unless you go to a Hydroponics supply store around here. In my home state, ALL of this could have been gotten at walmart, ONE stop shop for everything. Here, not one Walmart is the same, none of the floorplans are consistent with the other floors, and the shit they carry is crap, like a big Sams, almost... lame ass walmart!.
OK, here's my PMP! (six total)
(unbuilt)

looks like i'll be posting again very soon, since I've apparently done something right!!!
(whoever said u could do this for under a hundred bux is silly, im at $400 dollars initial investment, but, im also not buying crap, and not settling for what works, I want the best that I can do on MY budget.)

Use perlite, it works better.

Perlite would over humidify my casings I believe. If this doesn't work, I'll switch to perlite.
I got this: (I really like the fact is ph neutral, and all that, just read the label)

I'll be posting more later after things r built and what not.

WOW sorry for the week between posts, just thought i'd update when something happend, well, it has... here's some more pics!!!!
I keep getting lazy and forget to build the rest of my PMP's.

I did get this one built though!

also getting prepared for a massive Stropharia Liquid Culture Experiment!

and of course, I kinda stealth't my TiT..

Wanna See it OPEN??? (46jars, not one contam)

All about this state of colonization after 12 days (organic Rye Flour ones JUST behind but was knocked up 2 days later)S

I'll be updating in a few days, when i start birthing this massive amount of cakes, and making casings, n what not...
executing ok so far u think???? from start, till now, 12 days. (researched timeline, came out to 12 days, not 14) organic rye is on day 10, and just behind the brf substrate.

Here's some recent photo's, I crumbled a buncha cakes, and made 4, 7x7 inch tin pan casings. The one on the very left, is ORF, (kinda blurry, damn RazR!) One in the middle already has casing mix on it. It's BRF, as well as the other two. The uncased pans are sitting in the incubator in recovery, the cased pan has signs of mycelial growth, but not enough to patch yet, maybe tomorrow. It's pretty even thus far, and i'm kinda proud of it 

This single cake, well, it was a left over somehow.
it's now a dunk and roll type thingy.

more to come later, BRF vs. ORF comparisons with pics in a few hours. (totally forgot to do this i sorry!)

So, I lost a tub to green mold... I asked, and read around, and everyone seems to think that salt, h202, and whatnot, can get rid of it, and the fruits themselves will be ok, i dumped them, screw it, I have several more.
The other casings, 3 days later, still have yet to show signs of green mold, THANK GOD for a sealed tub i guess huh?
I've come to the conclusion, that the PMP sux, screw it, my next adventure will be in poo bags.
I'll finish out whats left..
so far, they starting to pin, few cakes going real good. I'll take pics when everything is more defined, i have a shit cell cam.
otherwise, the stuff that didnt get eaten by green mold, are doing wonderfully.

the one cake, that's my only cake left, have 5 casings left, these just some of the pics, i'll post a full harvest pic from first flush this weekend.
peace, heh, didn't go as planned, but i fruited yay.
