First time casing
    #7628745 - 11/13/07 01:51 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hello,

I'm new to this whole casing thing.
First I added a layer of moist vermiculite, about 1 cm thick. Added a little BRF to it as well, for some nutrients. Then I crumbled two pf style cakes. Added those on top of the verm layer. Then I added the casing layer, that consists of verm, peat and a little chalk.

Anyway I'd like your guys opinions on this casing, and should I just put it in the fruiting chamber now?

Here is the pic:


Thanks!

Yes. And I don't know about adding more BRF. I guess it might help, never tried it. Good luck dude! :rockon:

It's ready to fruit :thumbup:

The BRF was a bad idea, it's a contamination risk unless you've sterilised it. You may have got away with it though.

Ah nice, I'll put it in the fruiting chamber then. And the BRF wasn't sterilized. But it doesn't look contaminated or anything?

Well it wouldn't look contaminated right now, what Akamatsu was referring too was the possibility that the BRF has contaminants in it that will grow in your casing due to the right temps, humidity, etc. It's just really an unnecessary risk that'd I'd probably skip next time. Let us know how it goes though! :rockon:
