heres the second flush from the chitiwan tub it took about ten days to show up and finish. No casing was used cause i didnt get to it quick enough. Seemed to turn out ok. the tops were wicked pale in color compared to the first flush.

well, tried these additives out fp. i can say, the spawn ratio was probably less than normal and the substrate was double than normal. it appears to be on speed with a 3-4 day colonization speed with these nutes added. definitely speeded up things. only problem was that too much nutritional yeast was added. this made the mix a bit slimey but nothing too bad. it was more slick. so far, good results!

will keep you posted soon.

woot! Looking at these pictures makes me nostalgic lol! Hopefully i'll be able to get back at my myco studies soon, this summer is a bear with festivals, work, family, etc. So EYA, what's the verdict on the additive's ? will you be using them regularly ? while I was re-reading the first post I noticed a couple of typos and the pasturization part of the tek isnt very clear at the last part, I was wondering if a mod could help me out with that, to make it just a wee more coherent.

floppy thanks for suggesting the added nutes to the subs. they definitely helped out!:headbang:

i will be using the supercake formula in all substrates from now on. there is nothing negative about adding this to your mix. in fact, even the extra nutritional yeast did no harm. id say it worked..

Awesome!! I'm inspired and trying it right now.
One question... given the speed of colonization and everything, I was just curious what the temperature of your grow room is and whether you think that makes a big difference.
Also, when you use the pressure cooker to pasteurize the bags of poo, how long and at what psi?
thanks!

between 68-90 is a good temp for cubes imho. Higher temps accelerate growth of both mych and contams. If your not in a hurry i'd recommend the lower side of the temperature range.

The pressure cooker is not pressurized during pasteurization. Submerge the bags for 4 hours at around 140-170 degrees. A candy thermometer can be used to monitor the water temp. Do not boil. Make sure there is ample room for air expansion and that the air has been pressed out of the poo.
