the only main issue i have is that lower spawn causing lower yield. if its detrimental to your yield. then it may be better to use grain. however. if all you got is one pf cake. haha, definitely something to think about. you know how many times i find myself stuck with one pf cake and im like.....hm.....should i birth it as a cake. fuggit. ive even tossed em out before.
here is another thing. lets say this does workout. and the tub produces similar yield to what i normally get in one tub. if thats so. then that would make the more spawn equals better yield argument kinda fall apart. although i feel more spawn equals more yield anyhow lol...
now you can at the least. get a tub growing. and the yield off this tub im assuming will be greater than 1 pf cake yield. or at least hopefully lol...
its looking very aggressive and rhizo. from the last few experiments ive done. this tub seems to be doing much better than others. i think the moisture content is just right!
and even at the first spawning. i thought i added too little spawn. even when i mixed it. it seemed weird to me. like it wouldn't grow. just mix it up real good!
think about this. i can take a clone via 9er tek and inject it into 1 pf jar. then have a clone that i can slurry into quarts in around 4 days. then i get 10 quarts grown in 3 more days. so in 7 days from clone to spawning. maybe 8 at most. thats hell of a turnover. ive been doing that since tv wrote up that tek and i tried it. the speed is unbeatable. but you have many of those guys out there who will say hey its not possible to do anything without a flowhood like that. in fact, id bet if you toss this idea around you would have some really funny responses. i was tempted to post the tek. without the results first. to see what the general arguments would be from the boards. those in denial would always be in denial wether you show them all the proof or not. but it would still be funny. i do shit so ghetto and some of these guys do some real hard work here. they make hundreds of jars, hundreds of cakes. when simply put, you can get away with huge yield off 10 quarts a week spawn. if i had 10 jars of pf that can potentially do 10 tubs. as long as you rotate your pf jars. you have some awesome speed.
and when i take clones via 9er tek i generally make about 10 syringes per clone. that can last 2 years if you play it right. you can take one of those 10 colonized pf jar clones and just slurry it into 30 quarts. then boom. you just have no limit here really. depending on timing, ill generally only slurry when im desperate and my spawn is taking too long. well the only problem i have ever had with tv's tek is that everytime i do the tek. i have way too much spawn. when i don't do the tek, im usually waiting on spawn. so slurrying directly to tubs is really cool. at least its fun for me to toy with. not anymore difficult than spawning. you might have to prep some jars but its really not that bad. and this last batch i did, i used 2 pint jars. cut a pf cake in half. then plopped half in each jar. i had one blade assembly. so i blended one. placed the pint jar lid on the one i just blended. then moved the blade assembly to the other jar and basically switched lids on both. so as long as you don't touch the blade on anything you should be fine. just use quick movements when your moving the blade assembly. just doing tv's slurry tek a few times ive got this tek down to a t already. its really easier for me now than even doing g2g bc i don't have to prep all the grain jars. and i can simply use a trash bag to do my semi clean work in.
that one clone syringe i inject into 1 pf jar usually. i could just as easily inject 10 pf jars. then thats 10 tubs. and the pf jars store much easier than the quart jars. however, i like quart jars. jars run my life. but, if this eliminates prepping grain in a reasonable fashion. its way less work. imagine all the newbs that can't do grain. they could do this and have decent yield without so much work....
