    #5908460 - 07/28/06 09:55 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

bought:
pre-sterilized jars
pasteurized 50/50 tenn stud.
i crumbled the cakes in my hand and grabbed the shit outa the bag and mixed it all into trays in my room...only thing i did was wash my hands befor i started the project. yea trays allmost fully colonized and no contams as of yet. i know u guys would shit a brick if u saw how i did it hahahaha...

Its better not to sterilize. You want to pasteurize. Put it in the microwave for 3 minutes, wait 2 minutes, put it on for 3 more.

i have some casing soil that i bought from mush box...can i moisten that up and put it on top with no problems after i nuke it? i was thinking about cold shocking the trays before i stuck the casing soil on top.

Don't cold shock before putting the casing layer on top. Cold shocking is something you do to initiate pinning. You definately don't want pinning to begin before the mycelium has had a chace to grab a hold of the casing layer.

No. Don't cold shock at all unless you're growing cold weather edibles such as shaggy manes. Cold shocking is not for tropicals such as cubensis that fruit in Florida and Texas in the summertime. Think about it.
