Advice needed on Orissa...
    #7415281 - 09/16/07 01:59 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Here are my questions:
I have 1 OI bag of brown rice, and 1 with Wheat berries ready to case.
I also have a few cakes.
1. Does anyone have any advice on casing the grow bags? I (unless recommended not to) plan on casing in vermiculite in an approx an 8x11x3 aluminum pan (1-2 quarts colonated sub total)
The only casing substrates I can acquire are verm., peat, and lime, so a 50/50 or 100 verm are my options.
2. will I sacrifice a lot if I don't transfer to poo?
3. I am only familiar with PF cakes on Mexican Albino - will I gain to crumble and case, or will dunking and rolling suffice?
Thanks!

I'm confused... When you say you have 1 OI bag of brown rice, what exactly do you mean? I gather that OI means Orissa India, but the rest kind of throws me off. When you say brown rice, do you mean Vermiculite and Brown rice flour mix?

Theoretically you will always gain from spawning to a bulk substrate,(barring contamination), so yes.... spawn to Poo if you can. Case with a 50/50 mix of peat and verm.
If you're comfortable with dunk and roll, then by all means go with your tried and true method. (secure prints for future experiments!) Then experiment till your hearts contenet. Peace!

Sorry for the confusion...
I have 5 brf cakes/verm pf style. (the crumbling question)
One 1.5 qt bulk bag of winter wheat berries
One 1.5 qt bulk bag of brown rice prepared like the wheat (from one of RR's videos on soaking and simmering rye)
PC'd each bag the recommended time as well as the PF cakes.
I ran out of wheat so thought I'd give whole brown rice a shot also since I had it. They both are fully colonized and took almost exactly the same amount of time (Less than 2 weeks)
I just wasn't sure if I would hurt my yield by not using them to spawn poo or if I could case them from the bulk I have.
This is my first time w/o contams in my bags.
