tc clone brf slurry start to finish

livewire420 · 08-09-08, 10:05

ok so i got a tc clone brf cake fully colonized. soaking my seed for 30 jars sunday and cooking all day monday. i know lazlo easy seed prep is the way to go but im kinda tied up in things this week and it would be just best to wait until i can do it all at once... so soak sunday. cook monday, and slurry tuesday.
wish me luck

BuckarooBanzai · 08-09-08, 10:33

Total positive vibes your way, man.

Nice looking jar.

ALWAYS best to wait and do it when you have the time and can do everything in sequence.

And it is way better to do your mycology work sober, though I can't quite seem to get the hang of that Tek myself.

"Do as I say, not as I do."

GOOD LUCK!!!

golly · 08-09-08, 10:41

Cool, so your going to blend the cake into a slurry..?
How did you make your clone ..?, it looks good...

scanman · 08-09-08, 10:49

Looking good livewire420

livewire420 · 08-09-08, 11:08

got a hookup from a good buddy on the clone. ya i plan on doing a slurry and doing up 30 wbs jars. then when times comes im gonna take the 30 jars and spawn to 30 coir/casting/verm bags

3 blocks of coir
3 gallon bags of verm
1 bag of castings from wally world
1 cup of calcium carb.

this time when i do the slurry pour im shaking the jars like im supposed too. lol last time i didnt. owell trail and error.

eatyualive · 08-09-08, 19:02

looks good, good luck.

lazlo's 3 hour grain soak rocks the house. try that out if you have pickling lime.

did you really find worm castings at walmart?

ive never seen it there. might have to go look again..

livewire420 · 08-09-08, 19:38

ya the castings are in the green house. back by the hard poly kiddie pools.

livewire420 · 08-09-08, 20:24

soaking tonight cooking tomorrow.

materials:
bin to soak and mix wbs $5
40 lbs. birds seed $12
2 paint strainers $1.50
2 twisty ties from bread bags
lime already had

2 paint strainers 15 qts of wbs each. tied the ends with bread ties to keep seed in paint strainers. this will make it easier for me to clean the bird seed and strain it with out a mess. 1 cup of lime. soak over night will change out the water at least once or twice tonight. 2nd rinse i plan to add a few drop of dish soap to help clean off the grain. after i clean the grain well im going to let the grain chill in the tub for a hour to get on the dry side b4 loading the jars since im doing the slurry.

livewire420 · 08-10-08, 11:21

well the smell of soaked bird seed and a hang over doesn't work so well.

edit: just learned a lesson becareful with the paint strainers on just got caught on the tub drain some how and ripped.

livewire420 · 08-11-08, 12:06

all of grain was pced mostly yesterday and the last 3 today. letting the last 3 cool til 4 pm then slurry time.

now im off to pc tools

livewire420 · 08-11-08, 16:54

finished slurry count down to begin. lets hope i didnt screw it up. even though i got 4 back up brfs i still am dreading the cooking part again in the same week. as we all no with slurry ill know quick.

anyone up for a shake?

BuckarooBanzai · 08-11-08, 18:49

G'luck man.

No contam vibes coming your way...

Shroomette · 08-11-08, 19:49

Good Luck!!! Livewire.

Freaky · 08-11-08, 21:51

This is damn fantastic Livewire!!!! I'm hoping your slurry goes great for you! That was a nice looking tc clone jar!

livewire420 · 08-12-08, 09:34

thanks. ya i hope things take off well. for i have no tit incubator any more so its kinda just chilling at 73f as soon as i see life they are being moved to swim house for he has no ac or a old lady that wont keep her hands off the thermostat for some reason i turn it on 74 and then she turns it to 69. cant wait til winter

eatyualive · 08-12-08, 22:04

woah.. lol

get clear large lawn bags. available at home depot, lowes. sometimes walmart but very seldom. they are clear. you could fit all those jars in one lawn bag with a hepa hooked up to it.

if you keep having trouble with the slurry tek. you can salvage what cakes you have and simply use a clean fork to quickly scrape a bit into each jar. that works great as well..\

btw going to walmart RIGHT NOW!

hard to tell from the pics. but i think you need to designate an area away from your kitchen, your sink. use that table. but blend on that table. get an extension chord. the less air time the better. i simply have my blender right next to my shmuv within a few feet and just blend it immediately after i take it out of the bag. then stick it right back in real quick. and then clean my hands 400 times(extreme exageration but you can never be too clean) and then stick them back in and do the clean work...

bc the way you have that blender. even if a kitchen looks clean. its not. its a very dirty place. best to keep all clean work in that area. and wipe down your blender with alc too before hand.

livewire420 · 08-12-08, 22:25

so far no problems with slurry. i done the pe slurry in there too. was only able to do 5 jars at a time but it worked. havent checked up on the tc slurry yet. gonna post pictures of both grows tomorrow see what happens. i work for lowes couldnt find clear lawn bags. ill check the the orange box friday. i got 4 more brfs if i messed up. lesson learned if i screwed up. plus i wipe down everything going in with alcohol then spray lysol.
edit: just check up see white so far

limeade · 08-12-08, 23:52

sweet!

and to the post above livewires, why don't u just get gloves???? saves you from washing your skin off, i just douse mine in alcohol from time to time, it feels cool on the gloves, evaps off the gloves, chilss your hand, n/m..lol

dude i keep seeing this "shmuv" what the hell is it?

livewire420 · 08-13-08, 06:08

thanks for the info the eatyu no disrespect towards ya bro. i know you have nothing but good intentions. slurry did get me the contams the 1st time, but after that i took what ya said to heart clean the area like a ocd mother

lime:

granted i love the shumvbox cause it doesnt have you stuck in on position like a glove box. thank you eatyu for the info on it works wonders.

livewire420 · 08-13-08, 15:11

will update pictures tomorrow so far so good all i see is white from random picked jars and i looked at least 15 of em. camera died earlier or i would've posted then.

edit: next i think ill skip the seed with cracked corn. all i smell is corn in swims place....lol

ez_goin · 08-13-08, 15:46

Congratulations on the success so far. I'm curious to see the results.

livewire420 · 08-13-08, 17:00

I finished up 25lbs of organic berries of rye, and my house smells like cereal or gruel or some shit.

wonder what 25lbs of dry berries weighs after they are all hydrated and pc'd.

livewire420 · 08-13-08, 17:56

i bet alot i know one thing i waste more grain by measuring it 1st then hydrating it. owell doesnt cost much.

livewire420 · 08-14-08, 09:48

just a few random shots i got of the slurry of different jars. will get pictures of all 30 up later.

if it wasnt for mycotopia i would've never made it this far

next time i think i'll put less grain in the jars about to the shoulders. trial and error. live and learn. kinda like touching a hot stove as a kid.

think they're running pretty good for 69f. no incubator. owell make a heat bomb tomorrow.

eatyualive · 08-14-08, 12:22

nice. pic 3 and over looks like you needed to shake the jar a bit more.

also go about 1" shorter on grain.
