Pf Tek, Fruiting a birthed cake in a fruiting chamber

Prepare your fruiting chamber

Wooow You have four fully colonised Brf cakes and you would like to fruit all these cakes in the one fruiting chamber.
Until we Launch the "TubbBuddies"  range of fruiting chambers, you will have to make your own. Do not worry tho its not too hard.

Step 1 Find a clear tub with a clear lid. A 20Litre storage tub will work great.

Step 2 Draw a line all round the base of the box at 2" high. Get your self a drill and a 5mm bit and drill holes all along this line. At least every 2cm. Do the same along the top of the tub. These are for air flow.

Step 3 Pour your 3Litres of Sterilised Perlite into your tub. The perlite should come higher than your line of drilled holes and will filter the air as its exchanged.

Step 4 Pour Sterilised water into the tub to wet the perlite. Bring the water level just shy of you line of holes.

Step 6 Add Parcel tape to the line of holes at the top of the tub.  We keep these closed off until the pins are 10mm tall.

Step 7 Evenly place 4x 5inch square pieces of aluminium foil on the Perlite.

Step 8 Set your light on a 12hr timer. This can sit on the closed lid if its LED.

Prepare you Brf cakes
Both the Rye Grain and the BRF bags will work but Brf is preferred for this method as the fully colonised cakes are stronger and wont crumble during handling. 

You will need:

Scissors
Sterilised water
1000ml of Sterilised DRY Vermiculite

You need to Soak the cakes by boiling up a cup of water for each bag you want to fruit, allow to cool before use. Cover each cup and leave to one side until cool.  Open one bag at a time and gently pour the cup of cooled water into each bag then seal with a paperclip or similar as you go. Once the sterilised water has been added to all the bags, leave in a cool place. After 12 hours you need to drain the bags, this can be done by laying the tops of the bags into the sink so as all the water drains away from the cake. Leave for 15 minutes then carefully drain the water from the bag.
Once fully Drained the cakes can be removed from the bag. 
Take a pair of scissors and carefully cut the bag down its length. With a gloved hand removed the cake and place it into the bowl of DRY Vermiculite. Roll the cake around in the Vermiculite good and proper, aim for complete covering of vermiculite for a great pinset.
