That is absolutely awesome! Looks very simple, but very effective. I want to be the first to know when you when you have written down from start to finish everything! I hate going thru dry spells. Is that something that you could do in your garage?

I'm totally doing this...I need a simple grow set up because I don't have the time/energy right now to keep up any other way.  I think I've just found my new method.  :thumbup:

Question:  It's only spring and my apartment is getting pretty hot right now.  (no AC) I'm worried about the temps being too warm for fruiting so any advice on that?  I was thinking about just using those water-filled icy thingies beneath the bucket.  Or even placing frozen towels around the buckets, I don't know.  What do you guys think?

Usually three flushes is no problem, averaging around 45g on the first flush, 20 on the second and 10-15 on the third - this is strain and environmental dependant though and can vary, but that seems to be a relatively steady average.

Sounds like it would work but negates the whole purpose of it being relatively hassle free... Really depends on the temp in the room - as long as its not much above 35C you should be just OK - just keep plenty of FAE and the odd misting.

Unreal man! Looks great, only thing you may have a problem with is side pinning - the plastic lets through a lot of light.

Buy some black tape from bunnings (about $2 a roll) - and wrap that around the bottom to above the line of your substrate before you start next time.

What did you use for a substrate and casing layer?

Make sure you put up a pic when its complete - looking great so far...!





Yeah there's a bit of side pinning in there. Will tape up the sides next time for sure.

Used Nitrogen enhanced coir as substrate and verm/peat for the casing. Think I might make a visit to Ascot for h-poo tomorrow though for the next batch :wink:




Bloody great post! :laugh: I've just currently had my first flush with Z-strain using the PF-tek and have had a good result. Im looking at going bulk and this certainly is the way to go about it for cost and ease of use.
I still see those 79cent buckets up at Bunnings :laugh:

A few of questions,
∙With the WBS, do you recommend any place in particular to get it?
I've heard that it can sometimes be treated with 'kote'?
∙Where did you get the Nitrogen enhanced coir?
∙And the shower caps, Coles, where is that?
∙Which tek would you recommend for this process?

Thanks in adavance, a great post! :laugh:

The substrate was a mix of straw, horse poo, coir and coffee grounds (with a splash of seawead extract to bump up the nutes).

Did you use a layer of perlite or verm at the bottom of the bucket? :smile:

Im on my way to doing this tek, just waiting for my BRF jars to fruit for new spore prints to made in to an LC :smile:

Having trouble sourcing, Tyvek type filters.. Any ideas? (In New Zealand)
Preservation (quart jars) No idea on these...
Micropore tape.. ?

Any help from people would be MUCH appreciated :smile:

Micropore tape should be in a chemist with the plasters. Use that and you don't need Tyvek.

And just use any pasta sauce jars, with metal lids - no need particularly for preserving, or 'canning' jars.

Currently 'bucketing' with PF Classic. Man what an easy way to grow. WBS to 50/50 coir/bagged cow manure, cased with 50/50 peat/verm with a touch of gypsum. Taken out of incubator last night.

I can't see myself using any other grow method. I'll post some pics when it's more advanced - should I append here or start a new thread? The mycelium looked mad prior to casing.

awsome!!!!  i may try this pretty soon myself!  one quick question, and i know its a stupid one.  micropore tape.  is that the waxy paper like tape hospitals use to tap the need to your arm when taking blood?  sorry about that, i just need a good example as no one speaks english where i live :smile:
