From reading his last post, it seams like it's almost no effort. Drill a hole in it, and fill with water. No humidification required, bigger, quicker flushes!!?


Quote 'bluescreen'
"-Birth your cakes.
-Toss your cakes in an acquarium, pretty much any container will work. Punch a hole in the top of the cake (top of cake should be bottom of jar) about 1/4" wide, about an inch deep. Pour water directly onto the top of your cakes and allow it to run down the sides, filling the bottom of the acquarium to about 1/2" of water.
-Cover it up.
-Give it air a few times a day.
-Mushrooms grow.
-When water level goes down, dump some more water directly onto your cakes after you've cropped the fruits.
-More mushrooms grow.
-Repeat.

Pretty simple shit, no misting, a little fanning or you can use an air pump, no sheild needed. If you see water sitting on top of you cakes for more than about 12 hours dump it off of them. Don't dab them dry or dry them at all, they should/will appear wet, and when you first dump your water over them a puddle will sit on top of the cake. The cake should absorb this within about 12 hours. If it doesn't get it all dump it off. You should be able to pull at least 5 or 6 flushes, at 10 to 30 shrooms per flush, give you have a good strain like Mazatapec, B+, Eq's, PR's, etc...

When the cakes look dead, cut them in half and expose the freshly cut side to the top. Put another 1/4" wide by 1/4" deep hole in each. Repeat the process, only keeping about 1/8th inch water in the acquarium. This should give you a few extra shrooms.

This is a very forgiving method, in fact it was discovered by trying to see just how sloppy and messy I could be about it and still have mushrooms grow. It is the best cake method I've found, and I've tried them all. They rarely get contam'd, and you can see by the dead black shrivled up hunks of vermiculite you're left with in the end that it ate every bit of nutrients to produce fruits. I would probably say you get damn near 100% weight in dry shrooms as the dry rye/rice flour you put in at the beginning. Give it a shot. Post your results, post your pictures. Good luck."


that's the final post on the tek, but def read the whole post, it's very different from normal teks.

I've had good results with a similar tek, the voodoo tek. Probably got a different name 'round here...

Basically what you do is, using a sterilized steak knife or drill bit, dig 3 holes in the top of your cake, kinda like a bowling ball. 1/2" deep should be plenty. Using distilled water and a syringe, keep the holes full of water.

I'd also fridge dunk for 12 hours before cutting em, keep em on lids of verm and I used perlite for a humidity source. The results, for me, were noticably better than with double-ended casing. I pretty much stopped screwing around with cakes around this point or I would've flushed it out better.

Problems:
-Contams earlier/easier
-People have gotten similar/better results with other TEKs
-lot of maintenance

It's cool seeing a 40g (wet) fruitbody coming off a cake, but losing everything after the 3rd flush kinda evened out the total yield. That, and I just prefer cased dung/straw now. :smile:

Re-hydrating a spent cake is NOT hydroponics. Dunking and other means of hydrating were covered in TMC twenty years ago.

Paul has put out several editions of TMC, and each one has different page numbers. However, he shows pictures of substrate blocks being dunked in large tubs.

shiitake, wasn't it ?
just like your straw logs, eh ?
that came from the same source,
correct ?

not cubensis.
no one was dunking cubensis 20 years ago.

don't be ridiculous. the methodology was there and well known. so are you also saying that unless every species was individually named, it had neither been done nor thought of?

a straw with water going into a cake was an annex to mmgg, my first method back in 98. not much to recommend it really.

So, are you trying to tell us that putting water into a divet on a cake or casing is actually hydroponics? Or did you take Paul's tek on shiitake and use it for Cubensis, then claim to have 'invented' it? I think I know where you are going with this, as I've seen you repeatedly claim on your own site to have 'invented' dunking...lol

Before it gets ugly, hip and his site have done more to promote dunking than most, to the benefit of many cultivators. I bet as long as we give him/them that much credit, nobody really cares who "invented" it. When it comes down to it, there was a major breakthrough for many home cubensis cultivators, and this was called dunking. Dunking was demonstrated and advocated by hippie and his crew, to many people who had never heard of it. And we thank him for his efforts.

That being said, the first post of that link says that adding water to the top of your cake yields a potency of 2 x. That's retarded. As is the entire notion of hydroponic shrooms. IMHO, the humble pf cake is itself hydroponic. Hydrating a cake by setting it on moist perlite is hydroponic. Double end casing is hydroponic. Drinking straw resevoirs, interior resevoirs of plain verm, etc, it's all hydroponic.

By that reasoning, watering your garden is hydroponic. That is not the intent. In hydroponics, the fluid itself contains the nutrients, and the product is grown on rocks or other inert methods of physical support.

With a pf cake or other substrate, the nutrients are in the rye or brf or compost, etc., and the water being added via the soaking process is to replace what moisture has evaporated or been consumed by the product. Such is not hydroponic. Dunking, regardless of the substrate or species involved is simply replacing moisture that has been lost during the colonization/fruiting process

I am referring more to "without soil" as a definitive characteristic of "hydroponic". Therefore rooting a houseplant in water would be hydroponic, while simply watering a garden would not.

By your reasoning, watering a garden with a liquid fertilizer would be hydroponic, which I also don't think is the intent of the word if the garden is indeed a bed of soil.

Which brings us to the simple fact that the intent of the word was always for horticulture, not mushroom cultivation. IMO, any stretching of the term to apply to mushroom cultivation opens the term up to many common mushroom cultivation practices, including growing mushrooms from a soil less media, which is most common cultivation practices.

I wish I had a dollar for everytime a well-meaning hippy at a festival bragged about the "hydroponic shrooms" for sale/back home/had best trip of his life on etc etc. There may be much to learn from applying principles from hydroponic horticulture to mushroom culture, but that does not mean that one is or ever will be the other.

true hydroponic mushrooms are possible. much thinking still has to be done. something like an IV of sterile nutrient solution being drip fed into a vermiculite container would be hydroponic mushrooms... If you could work out the contam issues, it would be amazing. Flush after flush after flush....  :mushroom2:

I just got an idea, Poo water in a 10 gallon tub with a 60+ gallon fish tank filter you know the kinds with the water fall constantly circulating the water and then have fully colonised soaked verm poo cakes and pump the poo water into the cake during fruiting.
