the log is basically just a variation of pf's double-ended casing tek.
what i do is this--
when preparing jars of substrate,
first take 1 tablespoon of dry vermiculite
( in order to still fit the pf max formula in without over-packing, this verm. should be taken from the 1/2 cup verm. used for the substrate itself. )
and put it in the bottom of the jar.
level it out.
then fill with substrate &
seal with dry verm. barrier as usual.
birth at 100% colonization
( you will see mycellial roots in the bottom verm.--it need not be completely colonized though.)
do not scrap off the verm. barrier but rather leave it as intact as possible.
place the cake on its' side in the terrarium so that both verm. ends are exposed.
a foil cradle can be used to hold the cake.
lighly mist both ends at birth and between flushes.
that's it--
it gives maximum fruiting area with virtually 0 contams
and it is very quick to fruit.

peace
