What's the best tray to case 1pint jars of BRF?
    #7739614 - 12/10/07 08:35 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Hello all, I will soon have roughly 12pints of colonized BRF (B+) and my question is fairly simple. What's the best container to case this in, aluminum trays look simple and cheap but are there any other better containers?

And generally what size container would be best for 1pt of substrate?

why case them? unless you are spawning them to bulk casing isn't worth the hastle, just dunk and roll.

actually there are tapered quart jars as well... quart is the size not the build. i used quart jars and spawned them to coir a while back, but none the less the cake slid out without any resistance. (BRF+VERM cakes)

what kind of jars do you have Pentahedral? and do you want to case the cakes individually or do you want to do a few per casing? there are some nice containers in the gardening section of your local home depot or lowes... etc. they are opaque black plastic trays made for plants but they can easily be used for casings or spawning to bulk. aluminum trays will deteriorate during growth leaving you with holes. if you can only find the aluminum trays, place some sort of plastic sheet inside between the substrate and the aluminum container itself. nonetheless, either will work well.

another choice (but could be pricier) are small plastic storage containers... i found some "shoe box" sized containers at the local walmart and used them to spawn to bulk. ($2.50 CDN each)

cheers,

bzl

i just realized that i am confusing a quart with a pint, sorry i used pint jars. there are wide mouth jars on Kerr's website that are 1 quart but i don't know why they would call them wide-mouth or tapered when there clearly not either lol.

once again, sorry.

Sorry, I was making the same mistake...lol...but yeah, I edited the OP and title.

I can find some decent plastic containers, but what dimensions are best for one PINT per casing?

Basically any type of container will do.

Aluminum Trays will be disposed of after the fruiting process is complete.

Plastic Trays can be cleaned used again and again.

I guess if you use plastic make sure its as opaque "Not Clear" as possible.

You will want it opaque to keep the fruits from growing on the bottom.

Here's an example of 1 cake tray cased with 50/50.
