WBS vs BRF (My Experience)
    #7979649 - 02/04/08 08:05 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

So, I inoculated 4 BRF (Brown Rice Flour) and 6 WBS (Wild Bird Seed)Pint Jars about 6 Days ago.

The BRF are around 10% - 15%.  :sleep:

The WBS are FULLY colonized.  :headbanger:

I used the same syringe for both, same incubation chamber, same everything.

While this is in no way a well conducted experiment since it could be as simple as a lack of moisture or verm to BRF ratio, It proves to me that WBS is easy.

I followed Doc's WBS Tek to the letter and I've tried multiple PF Teks with BRF...

My BRF jars usually take at least 2 weeks to fully colonize (sometimes much longer) and the fact that my WBS jars were at 100% by the first week has changed my methods completely.

So for all you new guyz and galz who are trying to decide between WBS or BRF for your first or second grow. Save yourself some time and go for the WBS. Just follow a tek, don't try to skip steps or rush any part of the tek and you'll be glad you didn't bother with that messy BRF. :thumbup:

CHEERS!

P.S.
I'll post some pics for the hell of it tomorrow when I find some time.

did you shake the brf or wbs jars?

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

I shook the WBS after inoculation and at 50% which was about 48 hours ago.

I didn't shake the BRF so it would make sense that they took longer.
But shaking the BRFs would be a bad idea with the PF tek style setup (Dry verm filter layer). I suppose I can't blame the substrate since, you're right, the WBS had an advantage. As for the teks... PF is much, much slower to say the least.

I did try shaking a BRF jar from a previous batch when it was at about 80% colonization. I found it impossible to break up the cake in the jar and gave up on that idea.

You can't break up a cake inside a jar unless it has individual inoculation ports....that's like trying to break up a paint can of tar ... as much as you try its going to do anything...scoop it out with a spoon if you have to...or take it and dumb straight into a bag as fast as possible and crumble....better THO to just take it out and use a sterilized cheese greater as breaking up the cake that way serves for finer/better inoculation ports.

so what is the point of this post. We all know that grain colonizes faster than cakes. You went on to tell us about the syringe and the amount of solution but if you put 5 cc's in a brf cake and 1/2 cc in a grain jar the grain jar would colonize faster.

yeah but hear is the way i see it . I did the same thing noc'ed brf the same time as wbs. If you really think about it you have to spawn that because the wbs does not have the nutri to provide to the myc so then you spawn. Then you wait another week or so then you fruit. No if you are casing your brf's then yeah it will take longer or just as long.but lets say you birth your brf's to your FC. Then you have a ready to go sub and there is no wait for it to coli the sub you are spawning to. I would say if you want it to be faster then do brf. I would say it takes about a week off give or take conditions.RR RULESSSS peace I'm drunk and I'm out bitches !!!!!!PEACE!!!!!!!

There has to be a point? :shocked:

I just thought I'd reinforce common knowledge and put a "my experience" post out there.  Just like when people post their grow logs.

We all know mushrooms grow... it's just nice to hear what a variety of other people experienced along the way.

I do apologize if you wasted your time, but it was clearly placed in the subject title... jeeeeeeesh :rolleyes:

As for the CCs, they were the same.  Why would I inject more into one than the other?

i am just being a dick tonight. Grain is better for bulk grows, you/we know this.
Cakes are better for noobs as long as they do not come in here and start reading shit they do not understand and try to implement it into their cakes.

Aye, this forum would never be the bountiful resource that it is if it weren't for your dutiful policing of these posts. Think of all the innovative experimentation that could be avoided if only we'd all take your insults and slander to heart and give up because we found ourselves to be lacking the hard-earned experience that the "pros" such as yourself hold over us.

This forum is for teaching the ignorant in the ways of mycology. Go ahead and do it in your own self-righteous, condescending manner. But maybe you could try to stick to mycology rather than holding pissing contests with new members just because you are in a bad mood. It wastes the time of the people that are here to make this place a haven of knowledge for us "noobs".

For a guy who hates new students, you sure do spend a lot of time in the elementary section.

lmfao! Everyone around here is always bickering at each other, I think if people didn't put posts up like this one then the forums would be DEAD. Posts like this also help many of the newer growers learn the ropes and see what outperforms what.

I am doing my first grow using WBS and I was intrigued to read the op's info.

I'm not thinking my 6 1 pint wbs jars will colonize in 6 days but at least I now know it's surely possible.

The forum clearly states that you must be 18 years of age to sign up. Please act like it. Just because you all burned tahoe doesnt mean you get to hijack the post with your own bitching about longer standing members.

"This forum is for teaching the ignorant in the ways of mycology. Go ahead and do it in your own self-righteous, condescending manner. But maybe you could try to stick to mycology rather than holding pissing contests with new members just because you are in a bad mood.

What the hell are you sniffing? glue!?!! Youre not making wrongs right or serving justice with this shit. If youre such a supporter, why are you being a self righteous, condescending, time wasting asshole yourself? (only to put it in your own words.) you could just as well ignore his posts. you have that option.

You have 67 posts... please get used to the forum and handling criticism. we all get a lot of it.

Tahoe... dont be such an ass. some people cant handle it. Some things have no purpose...
