Is FC too much water for PF Tek?
    #27454915 - 09/03/21 01:36 PM (2 years, 4 months ago)

About to start fruiting cycle of my first go at PF Tek and wanted to share my results.

I attempted to colonize 24 1/2 pint wide mouth jars.  I divided the jars into two different groups to see what would perform better:

  • 12 Jars using 2:1:1 Vermiculite,BRF,Water
  • 12 Jars using 2:1 Vermiculte,BRF then water was added until field capacity was reached (just a few drops appear when squeezed really hard).  Note: It required far more water to reach field capacity>


Each jar was given 1cc from a spore syringe of B+

Results:
  • 10 of 12 jars containing the 2:1:1 mixture were fully colonized at 4 weeks. The other 2 jars never started.
  • 2 of 12 jars shows ~40% colonization.  A marker trace of the colonized area a week old show that they are still going but it's very slow.  The other 10 jars never showed any indication of colonization.


My takeaway was that I should have just stuck with the 2:1:1 ratio instead of bringing the Vermiculite/BRF mixture to FC because there was too much water.  Any thoughts?

You used 2 different spore syringes for each batch of 12 jars?
You delivered 12 ml total to 12 jars? What size syringe did you use?
What were the measured amounts of vermiculite, BRF and water in each batch?
What amount is “Far more water”?
Same source of vermiculite and BRF?
Did any water appear from your 2:1:1 batch when you squeezed really hard?
