About to place in my FC, plz help real quick
    #8700728 - 07/30/08 02:23 AM (16 years, 5 months ago)

Im about to place my first 2 jars in their rightful FC of perlite. It is a real big bin, and I was planning on filling it with lots of perlite, dunk n roll, and everything else. I am using the BRF tek.

However, can anyone please answer any of these for me:

-its a big bin, is it ok if i just have 2 cakes in there, then add more later.. or with the perlite go bad real quick?

-is dunk-n-roll a good idea? i saw a few people say its a bad idea, but most people say that it is good.

-as for misting my FC... does distilled / regular water make a difference?

thanks guys!

A big bin is fine for a couple cakes as long as you can keep humidity up and still provide plenty of FAE.

Perlite doesn't really "go bad". After a couple weeks of being wet, it'll start smelling a bit skunky, and you may want to change what's in your FC, but you can just put the old stuff on a cookie sheet and bake it for a few minutes to kill off anything that might be living on it.

Dunk and roll isn't just a good idea, it should be made standard practice for every mushroom grower, at least with cakes. Mushrooms are around 92% water by mass, so the more you can give them while they're growing, the more they'll grow, and the happier they'll be.

Mist with whatever water you have around. There's no real difference. Just don't ever add anything to your mist water. Some people say using peroxide will help keep away contams, but in reality, it does jack shit against most contams aside from cobweb mold, and it hurts mushroom mycelium on contact. Just use water.

Good luck, I hope they turn out! :thumbup:
