BRF to What?

[Resonance]

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a long time, but my buddy has 9 jars of BRF that are nearly 100% with some B+, and is looking to expand his operations, so to speak. Is a G2G transfer possible from cakes? Or rather, what is the ideal method to respawn these guys into some breadpans? My buddy is excited that his first attempt garnered 9 successful jars out of 14. Anticipation is killing him as this is day 23.

Thanks.

poo

I had feared/assumed as much. How does one go about obtaining/preppin poo as a sub? And, I guess my friend's next question would be does he case with 50/50 verm/coir? Again, procurement issues might arise with the coir. Thanks, hip. That was the fastest reply time a forum has ever produced in my entire life.

poo doesn't require any casing.
it's ok to case, but can be skipped.
as for poo itself,
you want dried well-aged manure
from cows/oxen or horses/donkeys-
field-gathered is best but often
stable droppings are more available
but penned-up animals urinate in it
so it must be leached to remove excess urine.
once you have some ready
just shred it fine, wet to field capacity and pasteurize it.
once cool, using gloved hands, mix the poo with crumbled brf.
that's the short story,
for more info look in the vaults in the manure section.
btw
if you can't get poo locally
i do sell high quality donkey poo
at www.mycrotopia.com .

Very interesting. That leaves my pal two options. He can obtain poo locally or from aforementioned website. If he bought 2 gallons from your site, would that be enough or would he have extra? The 9 brf jars are 1/2-pints, btw. He doesn't really know what ratio to use when applying the spawn. And would cakes be sliced or crumbled? Thank you, once again. Kinda getting pumped now.

[Hippie3]

an order [2 gal.] is plenty but you'd proly want to use all 9 cakes.
crumble as fine as you can get it, you want as many little specks of mycellium as possible to spread throughout the poo for fastest colonization.

So, say I decide to get these 2 gallons or more of poo as a gift for my friend. What will he do then, seeing as the pasteurization step is skipped? Does he just need to bring it to field capacity, and as such, what is the preferred method for poo as a substrate? All help is much appreciated. Thank you.

if the poo you r getting is all ready past. just crumble the cakes and mix with the poo and then cover for a while till it is run full of myc. then case or just bring into the light for friuting...

but you need to to hydrate the poo!!
but im no expert!!

[extrememetal43]

say it took 2 weeks 4 the cakes to fully colonize the jars. How much longer should u wait before crumbling the cakes and should u expose them to light at all b4 that?

[jPsHrOoMeR]

if it took 2 weeks for full col. then they r ready when fully col right? me i would give it a little longer let them get fluffy but as for the light total darkness or you might get premature fruiting un less you want that

we offer it both dry [you wet and pasteurize yourself]
or ready-to-use [pre-wet, pre-pasteurized].
i'd get it ready-to-use your first few times.
