PF tek - Shotgun Terrarium - GT & Cambodians Cubensis

pf cakes arent the best way to maximize your yield. i would cook up some rye berries and inoculate that with a Live culture. I have four pf cakes and just going to birth and pf tek them because they arent enough spawn to do any real bulk projects.

How many jars do you have?

i am just getting kind of bored of the PF tek actually after doing a Marsofold n,n-dmt extraction and after reading Practical LSD Manufacture by Uncle Fester...

it seems that mushroom cultivation is elementary compared creating LSD from growing rye then contaminating it with ergot or obtaining HBRS or Morning glory seeds.
then going into extracting methods...etc and then some more...

HA! that is the easiest part of synthesizing LSD btw...

anywho...
I have plenty of pf cake jars ready to be birthed and more being colonized.
I want to use WBS, rye berries, or corn. but since I am already half way down the road.
I wanna try spawning to bulk substrates with BRF cakes FIRST before I buy a pressure cooker and start another tek.

my other reason for asking this is because I want to yield more Penis Envys from a bigger substrate.
and like I said above...I want more of a challenge.

so I think I am going to keep my shotgun terrarium.
spawn cakes into treys. let them colonize for 5-7 days.
then put them into the shotgun chamber.

i was thinking about making 3 different treys...
1st trey - only 1 cake used for spawn
2nd trey - three cakes used for spawn
and 3rd trey - 5-6 cakes cakes used for spawn

the 1st trey is mainly for experimentation.
to see how much this method of spawn to bulk sub yields in one flush compared to a pf cake.
i usually get an average of 5.0 grams dried per cake. per 1ST flush

what do you all think?

bump.

Haha, no prob heatless... That term is frequently used incorrectly... Many misinformed people use it incorrectly and it leads to confusion so I'm just trying to get you to steer clear of that. Honestly, unless you grow other species than cubes a casing isn't even necessary or beneficial, while other species require a casing to fruit well. Anyways, for your bulk trays... What you wanna do is wait till cakes are 100% colonized(don't give them time to consolidate if using for spawn, that way the myc is still rapidly expanding) , then with clean hands, crumble them into small chuncks and mix with whatever field capacity, pasteurized sub you want... I recommend straight coir, verm, and gypsum as they are more forgiving than other subs(leave room for a layer of plain coir mix to cover the mixed spawn and coir mix). Then cover with foil, poke a few small holes(covered with mycropore tape), wait till 100%, wait 1 week to consolidate, then fruit.

ahhhhh dankillerbs!
my mushroom mentor!
+rep my friend

I shall remember this time to not mis use those terms. you have corrected me a few times and I appreciate your knowledge and information.
you the man!
anywho...
I shall be using the coir/verm/gypsum mix.
how should I pasteurize this mixture, microwave?

also...what'r the small holes covered in microtape for?
FAE for the myc.?
like the inoc. holes in pf jar lids? except those holes are only meant for FAE so the myc doesnt stall from colonizing the substrate?
correct?

Sounds like fun experiment. My lack of knowledge precludes me from giving any advice, but I'm glad for the opportunity to watch your results.

thank you sir!
I have a feeling you will learn SOMETHING

Don't pasteurize in the microwave, it's a horrible method. Search shroomery for damions coir tek, it isn't true pasteurization but many people have had good results with it as coir is quite forgiving. It involves placing a brick of coir in a bucket and pouring boiling water over it then covering to hydrate/pasteurize it at the same time. That ones pretty simple, otherwise try your hand at true pasteurizing... Hydrate your sub to field capacity, load in quart size jars to the top, cover with foil, and stick a meat thermometer through the foil into the center of the jar... Place jars in pot and fill pot so 2/3 of the jar is submerged... Bring water to boil and when thermometer reaches 120 kill the heat... It should still raise to the 140-160 deg range, hold that temp for 1 hour... Wait to cool, then spawn to it!

Sorry for bumping a reletively old thread, but damn this shit helped me out a ton. I'm just starting my first grow of cambodians. Thanks to all who have contributed. Read through the whole thing, great info. :]

thank you kind sir!

that is why i made this thread.

so people can start their own PF tek mushroom grows!!!

most questions YOU WILL have to ask will be answered in this thread.

CHECK IT OUT!!!

=D

bumpidddeee BUMP!


who wants to grow some mushrooms??

my jars would crack due to the extreme heat exchange ...via stove instead of a pc....i put a washcloth on the bottom of the pot and i also let them cool in the water my cracking went down to zero percent

you should use your jar lids at the bottom of your pan thats on the stove.

that way your jars will stay elevated out of the water. only heat touches the jars and thats what you want!

a steam sterilization.

if your jar's bottom touches any water...this may cause cracking of the jars.

I'm doing up some Brazillian's and Space Coast.Just found this thread and learned more from it than I have since I started from video's and other threads.Awesome Intel Fella's.Check your reps.Mine are doing great and that remoisture hint came in fucking handy.I found the jar's that received the less inoculation finished quicker.This is nowhere near as much of a time consuming task as a full Bud grow but the suspense still fuckin kills ya.I'm bumping this thing so in your opinion what is the strongest cubensis strain for BRF and which is it that has the most psilosybin other than cubensis?Has anyone ever sliced mycellium to get more edges for pin growth.Rep for your secrets Brothers.
