BRF & WBS growth
    #8065815 - 02/24/08 07:19 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

OK, today I inoculated 6 - 1 pint jars with by the Pf tek with India #2 and I have 5 pounds of WBS soaking to work in the A.M. I'm going to do PE and B+ with those.
And I also have Cambodian and am leaning towards the WBS and casing with that to. Ive ordered 50/40 verm/coir for the casing and I can get whatever I may need But my thought was to do all with the 50/40 and maybe some added goodies.
I'm wondering about casing the WBS when its ready though.
Ive read about everything I can find but would like to hear from you guys.

don't case your birdseed, spawn it to a more nutritious substrate like coir or horse manure.

Negative, spawning refers to the process of mixing your grain with a nutritious pasteurized substrate.

Casing is the process of covering your substrate of choice with a non-nutritious medium that holds moisture.

nice

today i did my first inoculation of 8 1/2 pt. jars with cambodian. i'm kind of dissapointed in myself. i think may have contaminated my spore syringe after ~2 jars were done by accidentally sucking up a tiny tiny bit of air while it was inside my glovebox (my finger hit it and it by accident and the plunger went up a little bit. we'll find out if that ruins my jars :frown:

i might go ahead and order another 1-2 syringes just so they'll be here by the time contams should start appearing...

WBS fruits just fine by itself=see the pics in my sig? That is straight WBS cased with a layer of 100% Coir(It's better to use it as a casing material than a substrate=(IME & IMO) and nothing else. WBS does just fine by itself if it is prepared properly.

But, I would spawn it to straw or poo or both to get even better results.

Just my two pennies worth of rambling on:thumbup:

Ok, for you guys that might be thanking about building an FC this big, Thank twice.
Its working but keeping the RH up is not easy.
I have a cool-mist with ultrasonic misters, and 2 Misters I built from buckets,with misters, fish tank pumps and air stone , and 4in fans. Like I say, its working but man what a pain in the ass.
I have the RH at 90 now with nothing in it but Suspect it will go up when I fill it in a few weeks.
And I am going to fill that thing up!!!!!!!!
Oh and the heat has to be up high with the RH at 90% the radiator has to be up pretty high.
I used radiant heat.

Just wanted to update,
I moved all my jars to the incubator on 3/3 and there doing good.
This is PE on WBS and was only 20% colonized 24 hours ago.:tongue2:

[image]http://[/image]

This is Cambodian on BRF and was inoculated with syringes I made myself for the first time on 3/2 not to bad.

[image]http://[/image]

This is B+ on BRF in 1 pint jars and is going slow, its around 8 days but its growing. Maybe its a little dry?

[image]http://[/image]

So far I have no contamination and the only ones to be tossed I screwed up by adding to much water, I put them in the garden Ya never know.
