Cultivation / mycelium culture
March 05, 2008, 09:17:29 AM
This is my first ever post I do not have a pressure cooker but I use the steam sterilization for pf cakes of brf and verm, my question is this is there any practical way to use grains w/o the pc and if not can I use my pf cakes to inoculate more pf cakes, I have read 1 post about this that said contamination would be an issue if spooning colonized cake into another jar, could I maybe blend the cake with water to a fine consistency and use a plastic bottle with a long tapered point as a syringe substitute (like the kind that you squeeze that spray a stream of water ) or maybe I can sterilize a bag of pf substrate  and put my colonized cake in another bag crumbled ant put them both in a 3rd sterilized bag and mix it up if so how can I ensure that my bags are clean inside and out will Lysol kill mycellium or is this more trouble than its worth? these were just some things I was thinking if anyone has any ideas of their own or has tried any with success any help would be greatly appreciated I'm sorry for the length of my post i was just brainstormin and am new to using forums. -_-
