its the only way i fly. can either method be used for pasturizing compost as well?

sinth im testing it with castings/coir and it is working great so far with 0 contams. I didnt have much luck with the no heat straw personally though. Looks good bra, pinned fast huh?

whoa, well hey there toby, thought you was a goner.
glad you came back.

Use ½ cup of hydrated lime
per 14-16 gallons of water.
Be sure to stir the lime into the water very well.
If you’re making a larger or smaller batch, adjust the lime accordingly.
This will give the water a ph of 12-13

bleach pasturization =
1 cup bleach per 10 gallons of water
submerge straw 4-12 hours.
drain well.
inoculate.
just that simple.

welcome back, homeboy! Glad to see you on the boards once again.

[Hippie3]

yes, but compost has been self-pasturized as it decays/processes
so it's not needed. the richness of compost, relative to straw, in
organics would make this bleach/lime less effective, one might need
to use repeated dunks in fresh solution to get it right.

So, how about some new pics?
Leaving the wrapping on the log for so long definately makes the fruits mishapen.

i belive what you are seeing is a bruised fruit, the biggest pin before birthing was a bit bruised, now looks like it may abort.

[sinthetic]

Most of the fruits were harvested, some left to continue maturing.

404g wet.
