sorry it took so long bro, but these links should help out

Myc water tek( they use grain but it works with pf cakes too)

Why I have a beef with incubators...I'm refering to RogerRabbits posts in these threads, He is THE GUY to ask about shrooms on that site and he makes the " Lets grow mushroom" vids

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6534764#6534764 This one sums it up

This is an excellent point that RogerRabbit made:

"PF jars can colonize well in two to three weeks at 75F. Mine are done in two weeks. How many posts per week do we see where people have had jars in the incubator for a month at 86F and they're still not colonized? Something else is wrong. Just use room temperature and you'll have far less problems with bacteria and other contaminants, not to mention your jars won't dry out."

I noticed, even with high temps my jars still didn't fully colonized and my substrate dried out... the next time, in room temps they will be. Let's see if there is any improvement ;)

If you use too much water in your pf tek, it will take long regardless of temp... as it basicaly chokes the mycelium.

I did mine at room temp. At first the temps even got down to the 60's. Now they hover in the upper 70's. My set of jars I got 5/5. I've got another five colonizing now that haven't shown any signs of contamination(fingers crossed). So room temp has worked for me so far.

When you mean too much water... are you referring when I add water to the verm and brf?

I didn't use much water at all... when I was mixing it up....I tilted the bowl and only a smudge of water appeared... I followed it exactly like how it demonstrated in the technique.

I really do think my incubator was too hot... and the air circulation was poor. Right now the room temps in Cali. are perfect for mycelium growth!

How long has your's been in the dark cabin ;)

A little over 2 weeks now, and going damn slow. Unless PE is supposed to be this slow, I think I may have used too much water. Constant 86F temps are not speeding things up any for this strain either, may as well have went with room temp the entire time.

GL to you during fruiting btw. Hopefully it will be a bountiful harvest for you!

Ralphsters is the best. Ask for spore of the month and they will send you one or 2 freebies with your order. ralphstersspores.com
