Plastic tubs instead of jars
There are just too many of these tubs laying around and I can't get myself to toss them in the garbage. They're a really decent size and can be re-used.
I added some BRF(brown rice flour) substrate to one, made some holes in the corners of the lid (as per my previous article) and sterilised it in a pot on the stove. I accidentally left the stove on overnight, so I hope I didn't ruin the substrate. We shall see...
Next, I put my trusty still air box to good use and inoculated the tub with the pink oyster culture.

Like I previously mentioned, I think I need to make a bigger still air box, since this is a bit tight to work in.

I made a small database on my computer to keep track of my grows. I will check up on the progress of the mycelium cultivation in about a week. I really hope this works, otherwise I will have to try something else. I wonder what coffee grounds based substrate will do.
