BRF Cake Procedure
    #7804548 - 12/27/07 04:11 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Ok, so this is my first grow..here goes the procedure.

I followed the instructions on pf tech method page.
My cakes were colonized on the outside fully. I let the cakes sit for another week to let the mycelium colonize the inside of the cakes and get a nice hold on the substrate. Next step, I washed the cakes off and took the verm filter off. I put the cakes in cold water and let it sit in my fridge overnight. Then, I rinsed the cakes off again and rolled them in dry Verm. I filled the terrarium with about 2 inches of perlite which was soaked in cold water. I put the cakes in the terrarium after they were rolled. My hygrometer temp is on 66.6 degrees, but is rising as the perlite adapts to the heat. I'm gonna keep the temp around 73 to 75 degrees. My humidity temp is 90% but will also rise in the next few hours. I only have a few holes in the terrarium, but I am going to give it fresh air exchange every 4 hrs by taking the lid off and fanning. I misted the cakes 30 mins after i put them in the terrarium. How often should i mist the cakes daily? I hear it is good to give them plenty of water. Also, I have two 15 watt lights in the room. Are these lights ok for the cakes or should I use my 20 watt Fluorescent? Indirect sunlight is also possible. How many hrs each day should the cakes get light? I hear diff opinions on it.

This is it so far. Any comments or advice would be appreciated.

light isn't really as important as humidity.. make sure you get that as high as possible.. maybe stuff some polyfill in the holes that you have made in the fc.

i'd mist a little bit before and after every fanning..

if you put it in a place that gets indirect sunlight that will be fine..

sounds like you know what you're doing.

i would say the amount of light doesn't really matter but i think 12/12 is a pretty good middle ground for people on here.. at least during birthing..
