Nick:

Where do you live? I have found jars, perlite, aquariums all at Wal-mart. Many grocery stores carry jars, usually follow the signs to "canning supplies."

And each jar makes one cake. I don't understand your question about how many cakes fit in one jar.

might have meant how many jars/cakes will fit in a tub?

By Nick Nick (Heytheresmoker) on Monday, February 04, 2002 - 03:51 am:

yea how many jars will fit in the rubbermaid bin..i live in New Jersey and i have went to 2 different wal-marts and nothing... and are these good strains i got??

By sleestak (Sleestak) on Monday, February 04, 2002 - 06:53 am:

I called everywhere and couldn't find jars anywhere, I guess because they are not in season. Then I went into the grocery store (Albertsons) and everything I needed and tons of it! And I've never met a cubie that I didn't like. All the cubensis strains are good in my opinion some just grow differently than others.

Depending on whether your using a pressure cooker or not plastic tupperware containers are more aviable than glass jars. I aint been in a shop here that knows what a fucking canning jar is and i asked in a few . You should get anything that will do the job now and try for jars later.....

you could always order them from somewhere online... i got my very first dozen jars from these guys peruvian journey

By Hatcher (Hatcher) on Tuesday, February 05, 2002 - 12:49 am:

Man, a small store not far from here can order me all the wide-mouthed 1/2pt. Kerr's I ask for..maybe I should start boot-leggin' jars!!:)

By Spun Yun Gi (Spunion_Elf) on Tuesday, February 05, 2002 - 06:08 pm:

You can even use drinking glasses if you're desparate. Check out Pf's site, I beleive he has a section in his jar preparation chapter about using drinking glasses instead of jars. It's not recommended, but it should get the job done. I'm thinking of using large shot glasses for quick colonization, and then break em up to make flat cakes.

im going to use the PF tek for my first time..i just wanted to know do i need both perlit and Vermiculite or can i just get one??

By Ricky (Retardricky) on Tuesday, February 05, 2002 - 07:11 pm:

You need both. Vermiculite goes in the substrate to retain water. Perlite goes on the bottom of your terrarium to make humidity for your mushies

By Brettiejams (Brettiejams) on Tuesday, February 05, 2002 - 07:13 pm:

Well, for PF tek you will definitely need verm.

If you are gonna hand mist for humidification like in the original PF Tek, you don't need any perlite.

You could also just pack the bottom of a rubbermaid tub with damp verm if you wanted for humidity, and set the cakes right on that, kinda like a big double-ended casing

For an example of using a verm layer instead of perlite layer for humidity, check These Photos
